Three More Points For the Badgers
On Saturday the Badger’s faced mid-table Collingham, but for Retford they wasn’t looked at as a mid-table team. United have struggled for years to get all three points in this game, Collingham was officially Retford’s bogey team, with Retford not getting a win in the last 5 years, home or away.

United Hit 8 Against Dronfield
On Saturday we travelled to the H E Barnes Stadium to face Dronfield Town Reserves in the hopes of carrying on the momentum and getting another crucial league win.

For the Third time this season, Retford have been taken to penalties in cup competitions and every time they have come out on top. The game wasn’t as exciting as recent games but this was mostly due to the relentless rain and wind throughout the game.
Badgers Get Revenge On Harworth
Friday was a key game for both sides, to get vital points and close the gap between them and the top two, Dinnington and Newark. Harworth sat comfortably in third while before Friday night’s game Retford sat in a disappointing fifth, so for the Badgers it was a must win game, do or die.
Badgers Put 4 Past Appleby
From the Ref’s first whistle to the last, the Badgers were by far the dominant team. Retford played very maturely and didn’t just go for goal after goal, they enjoyed keeping possession and playing out from the back.
