| Were safe .... how long have we waited to say that? Credit to the players who took it to the last day and came up with the goods when needed. Today's game was preceded with a show of respect for Gordon Renton from the army of Town fans who turned up in impressive numbers. The first half was fairly even but Town deservedly took the lead when Kalumn Holbrook stuck the ball home from close range to go in 1-0 up at the break. The second half saw the home side come on strong and if I were a superstitious man I reckon our Gordon was keeping the ball out of our net as a number quality chances went begging before Morpeth scored off a super freekick (1-1). We then came under intense pressure for a long period, however the introduction of Lee Court with fifteen minutes left changed the course of the game, he held the ball well and wasted very little possession and it was Court's excellent goal on 82 minutes that sealed victory and First Division football next season.
