Weekend roundup

May 16, 2004

United know who one more of their opponents are going to be next season, as Shrewsbury beat Aldershot on penalties in the Conference play-off final.

No charity from Fever

May 9, 2004

All’s well that ends well?

May 8, 2004

United rounded off the season with one of their best displays, completing the double over Rochdale at the KasStad this afternoon.

It’s all over bar the shooting

The last game of another long season rolls around on Saturday as United entertain (if that’s the right word) Rochdale at the KasStad.

Undone at Macc

Taking it to the Macc

April 29, 2004

United travel to Moss Rose on Saturday for their penultimate match of the season. It’s a game the Us have to win if they are to have a chance of competing in the play-offs, while Macclesfield also need a win to be certain of third division safety. On current form a home win is much  more ]
