Just my second visit to the Coppice Colliery Ground – and my first since 2002 – for what turned out to be a comfortable victory for Heath Hayes against Dunkirk. Leading by a single goal at the interval, Heath Hayes scored twice in a minute early in the second half to open up an unassailable lead. The visitors pulled a goal back from the penalty spot but Heath Hayes restored their three-goal advantage. I’ve got one referee amongst my Facebook friends and tonight’s ‘man in the middle’ was … Mat Randles, once a regular at Marston Road and now progressing up the pyramid as a match official.
