Stotfold win rearranged game with St Neots on Thursday
For their final league game of the season, new United Counties League champions Stotfold were forced to replay the much-publicised match against St Neots Town which had originally been forced to be abandoned after just 41 minutes a months ago.
And while enough has been reported on the huge amount of money that the two clubs were fined by the Beds and Hunts FAs on that occasion, Thursday night's re-run went off without too much drama and ended in a 2-0 win for Ian Allinson's champions
They broke the deadlock after 11 minutes when Callum Donnelly crossed from the right and Joel Mason steered a header just inside Saints keeper Michael Parkin's upright.
The Rokermen almost went further ahead when Louis Lee fed Paul Garrett whose left-wing cross picked out Callum Donnelly whose volley was tipped against the bar by Parkin.
The visitors had just one goalscoring chance in the first half but Stuart Pink failed to convery past home keeper Brad Gillham while at the start of the second half, Pink clipped the top of the Stotfold bar from a Jamie Osborne pass.
But the hosts looked by far the more dangerous with a goalline clearance denying Tommy Hull before they secured the three points to take their tally to 91 from 43 games in the 76th minute.
And it was skipper Tawhid Juneja who punished Danny Marlow's mistake when he scored Stotfold's 117th goal of the league campaign while Parkin denied Lee Allinson a third goal just before the final whistle.
