Bath City drew 1-1 with Staines Town Tuesday night. Pretty much everyone says it was a forgettable
match. This is hardly surprising given that both clubs had just defeated League 2 opposition three
days previously in hard-fought FA Cup matches. Staines had been victorious 1-0 over Shrewsbury
Town. Likewise, Bath City had come out on top 2-0 over Grimsby Town in THE GREATEST FOOTBALL GAME
EVER PLAYED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!

Bath City beat Grimsby Town 2-0 yesterday. I still feel giddy typing that. Not a 1-0 victory thanks
to a fluke goal against the run of play. Oh no! Bath City defeated Grimsby Town with a decisive
goal in each half. It is one of those results you need to say out loud over and over again, just so
that you can reassure yourself that it really happened.

City beat AFC Totton yesterday 3-2 in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round. It was an exciting game
with an exciting (£12,500) pot of prize money for the winner. There was lots of exciting play and

match were especially exciting.

If you are a Bath City fan then yesterday's meeting with Bishop's Cleeve was the most important
match of the season. It was not actually the glory of a FA Cup Third Qualifying Round that made it
so important, though. What really made it a must win was the prize money: £7,500 was up for grabs
for the winner.

If ever I needed a demonstration of why being a non-league fan is so great, I think I've just had
it.
Earlier today it emerged that Bath City have signed a new player named Florin Pelecaci. He is a
mid-fielder from Romania and has played top-flight football in both his home country and recently

Going into tonight's home opener against Maidenhead United, I had two items on my wish list: a goal
for Darren Edwards, and a clean sheet for our embattled, third-choice keeper, Will Puddy. Wishing
doesn't make it so, but it was so anyway tonight. I raised both hands in utter joy when the final
whistle blew, knowing that Bath City had done what was required and done it in style.
