FEBRUARY Wrexham 4-3 BEDFORD ----- FA Trophy 3rd Round Wrexham dominated the first half and lead 2-0 at the break. Rayner pulled one back, but Paul Hartley's 3rd of the game seemed to kill off the game, but McCallum pulled another back... before Wrexham scored a 4th. Rayner bagged his 2nd, but it was too little too late. A poor 4 performance by Morgan summed up the day. Sadly though, I have to serve a touchline ban for blasting the referee. It was touch and go for offside but I protested anyway after we'd crashed out. Luckily, it was only for the Setanta Shield 5th Round against hopeless Fisher. This is the furthest we've ever got so hopefully my assistant can guide us even further. BEDFORD 5-1 Fisher ----- Setanta Shield 5th Round He did the job in style... even if it was over hopeless Fisher. McPherson, Roberts, McCallum (2) and Rayner with the goals. BEDFORD 3-1 Grays The top two meet in the league. McPherson, Taylor and Rayner make it look like a walk in the park. Taylor also managed to put it in his own net. BEDFORD 2-1 Halesowen McPherson is Mr Consistent. Another goal for him. The winner coming from defender Taylor. Port Vale 0-1 BEDFORD Hartley comes off the bench to score a late winner for Bedford despte a below par team performance. Hartley getting a lot less minutes now Beresford has hit consistently great form. BEDFORD 3-2 Bristol Rovers ----- Setanta Shield Qtr Final (Live on Setanta 1) The TV cameras arrive at The New Eyrie again, and the few people that watch it on TV get a treat. End to end stuff and a hat trick from McPherson including one especially fantastic goal. Booth then makes his comeback in the second half after months on the sideline and plays well. Woking 0-0 BEDFORD Bedford couldnt overcome 10 man Woking in a poor game, where McCallum missed a penalty for the away side. Forest Green 2-4 BEDFORD McCallum makes up his penaty miss in the last game and scores two as Bedford cruise past Forest Green. Rayner and Beresford bag the other goals. McCallum is now on 11 goals despite being a centre midfielder. We've gone 18 points clear, but that will probably reduce to 16. I think it's in the bag. Will be good to play Middlesbrough, Swansea etc next season. Another manager of the month award.

Salisbury 4-4 BEDFORD Defender Groves, Booth, McPherson and Rayner score the goals as Bedford's defence is falling apart at the seems. A lucky result for Bedford to continue their unbeaten run.
