Town Go Top

Both teams gave all in the early exchanges and Grantham went close when Callum Bell’s shot skimmed the bar.   Town’s early pressure paid off when Henry Pickers shot was to hot for the Retford keeper to hold on to and Ricky North was on hand to slot the ball home.   Grantham continued to cut Retford open and was rewarded with a 2^nd goal before the break when Shaun Rice’s corner was headed home by Ryan Broxholme. 

The 2^nd half saw Grantham continue to dominate and Ollie Clark, Ryan Spencer and Shaun Rice all went close.  The front pairing of Clark and Picker combined for the 3^rd Town goal as Henry Picker rounded the keeper and passed the ball into an empty net.  Retford got a goal back but Ricky North dented their hopes of a come back when ran onto a Shaun Rice through ball and then he smashed a goal from 25 yards.  Grantham ensure the victory when a Jack Drury goal kick found Ryan Broxholme, he flicked the ball over the defence then smashed the ball home from 20 yards.
