Waders still seek win while FC and United taste defeat


Following a narrow loss at home to Halesowen on Saturday, Tuesday’s draw extended their winless run to seven games since the start of the season, with four draws and three defeats so far.
Ryan Doherty’s goal earned a point just four minutes after Leon Lobjoit’s header had given Bedford the lead.

Speaking after the game, Town boss Jimmy Martin told the club’s media channels: “You have to put things in perspective – Leon’s had an awful, tragic week and he showed great courage to play and full credit to that young man for playing, and scoring – I thought he was unbelievable.
"When you talk about non-league, rivalries and so on, that gets put to one side and I think there was a whole community here to support him and thoughts go out to him and his families.
"On the game, we’re still working hard to get that first win and it was a really challenging game.
