Bleak week for Barton as Rovers taste double defeat

BArton Rovers slipped to defeat against Zamaretto Southern League Division One Central play-off chasers Aylesbury as they went down 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Dan Kennoy’s visitors had got off to a bright start, but too often their final ball went awry and Aylesbury took advantage to open the scoring after 33 minutes when Glen Hawkins netted.

After the break, Barton keeper Richard Wilmot was called into action to prevent the second goal, but it arrived on 63 minutes when Jack Thomson rifled home.

Rovers were also beaten 3-1 at Biggleswade Town on Saturday and will be hoping to pick up some much-needed points when they host Bedworth Town this weekend and Slough Town on Tuesday night.
