This Saturday we are away to Portsmouth who by all accounts have had a mixed season so far. As with every week it is a must win game, but there is the added spice of a little bit of pay back from last season were Shelford lost both home and away to a very committed team.

Things are developing well and hopefully we can put it all together this week. A good run into Xmas will set up for the New Year. We  must remain focused and build our confidence as we cannot afford to drop any more points if we want to be in with a chance come the business end of the season.
