Reds Safe As They Head To Their Final Away Game Of The Season


Saturday 13th April 2013




The Reds could only muster 14 players for Tuesday'sgame with Connor Franklin (pictured) joining the growing injured list, despite being available after serving a three-match suspensionInjury-hit Alfreton Town secured their Conference Premier Division status for a third successive season, after a 3-0 home win over Tamworth on Tuesday night and play their last away game of the 2012/13 season today, travelling to South Wales to face fourth-placed Newport County.

The Reds could only muster 14 players for Tuesday'sgame with Connor Franklin (left) joining the growing injured list, despite being available after serving a three-match suspension.

Dan Bradley put the Reds in front from the penalty spot on 20 minutes and he also had a second penalty saved in the second half.

Paul Clayton added the second on 32 minutes before Nathan Arnold wrapped up the win with the third on 62 minutes in front of a crowd of 568.

The victory took Nicky Law's side onto 57 points and up to 13th in the table and mathematically safe - they now cannot be caught by any of the bottom three teams or Lincoln City who have only two games left and are on 50 points.

For today's fixture - and with the squad already threadbare - Reds manager Nicky Law thankfully has no new injury worries and could possibly have left-back Franklin back for the fixture, if he can shake off a medial ligament injury.

Alfreton have the chance to record only a second league double of the season having beaten Newport 4-3 at the Impact Arena in front of the Premier Sports TV cameras on Friday, November 9th.

Newport have already ensured a play-off place but another tough game lies in wait with County having won 12, drawn five and lost five of their 22 home games so far.

The theme of this last away game of the season - for fans travelling to the game - is an ALL-RED dress code!

ENTRY

Fans travelling to Rodney Park should note that entry to the ground at Newport will be via entrance No. 6 at the Sytner end of the ground. 

Away supporters are accommodated in the corner of the Bisley stand.
