After our loss at Ebbsfleet in the FA Trophy Lynn can now concentrate all our efforts to the League.

Two games in hand over York and 1point ahead and the BIG GAME next Saturday at Home against The Minstermen (after York Minster).

(King's Lynn Minster (St Margaret's) is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in King's Lynn. It was granted the honorary title of Minster in 2011. The word derives from the Old English "mynster", meaning "monastery", "nunnery", "mother church" or "cathedral".)

Our Two games in Hand will not be resolved until late in the season and may even extend to 3games if Leamington get through this Round of the FA Trophy after today's 1 - 1 Draw) and our our game against them is postponed on 8th Feb.

York also have some possibly unwelcome games in The North Riding Cup with their 1/4 Final game against Whitby on 28th Jan and possible further games if they proceed.

Westlynn Mike, do you arrive late for  games? Steve Granger was doing the bucket collection just inside the main turnstiles on Boxing day, in fact I almost fell over him, and the 50/50 tote was on sale at the Spennymoor game, he was just before the programme seller.  As he was on boxing day also.

No, I usually arrive at between 1400 and 1430 and walk straight in with my Season Ticket or On-Line ticket if Cup game. 50/50 Tickets normally near 1st set of steps up the seating but I and several others I sit near have all said they did not see 50/50 Sellers. Some used to come up into the Stands but not seen them for a while.

Just spoken to @officialKLtown  director of football @Backie9  who says the stories linking striker Adam Marriott are just pure speculation.
The frontman remains on contract at The Walks and there has been no official interest from any other club at this moment.

The most interesting word in this item is "official"

.. and maybe the illustrious “bucket collection” which I’ve still not seen!

Talking about Buckets I usually do the 50/50 but have not at the last two games as I did not see anyone selling - where are the sellers hiding

3 - 0 with Adam Marriott scoring 2 and Ross Barrows getting the 1st.

Spennymoor look quite ordinary  in the 1st half and lost their most influential player No3 to a  for a "last man foul" on Hendo on the edge of the box after 15mins. They changed shape to 4-4-1 and tried to strike on the break with little threat.

Ross Barrows was immense in defence again alongside Tom Ward who replaced Rory McAuley before the start as he picked up an injury during warm-up. Alfie Payne started alongside the two Centre Backs with Aaron Jones and Nathan Fox in their usual role of Wing Backs. Jordan Richards in midfield broke up potential attacks and started counters alongside Chris Henderson who again made himself familiar with every blade of grass in midfield, wings and penalty area. Spenney tried to contain Michael Gash and he was not as mobile as usual but Adam Marriott made a nuisance of himself all afternoon and ended with two fine goals in the 2nd half. All 3 Subs were used and brought fresh legs and different attacking options, especially Ryan Hawkins as the Right Wing/Wing Back. It was nice to see Harry Limb get some time on the pitch and he had a few pops at goal.

Spennymoor started the 2nd half a little brighter than the 1st but it petered out after our 2nd goal, although they still played on trying to salvage something but got nowhere near the goal to threaten Pedro who made some easy saves from soft and long shots.

My MOM was again between Richards and Barrows, albeit Adam Marriott increased his tally by two.
