Harleston Town providing the opposition this time, the Robins have never beaten town but that was about to change.
A attendance of 185 enjoyed reduced entry prices for the official Non-League Day.
Harleston Town arrived with only 1 substitute player.
The Robins started well and In the 3rd minute took the lead with a excellent effort by Alex Kerr, he has proven a real danger man this season and now has 7 goals to his name.
Things didn't improve for the visitors as their Number 12 saw a straight red card for a studs up tackle.
Ht 1-0 Robins
Into the 2nd half Town started to push forward whilst the Robins went into a bit of a slumber.
Unfortunately Tatum "Spud" Cartner got a bad knee injury and was stretched off the pitch and off to hospital. We hope that the injury isn't too severe and wish him well in his recovery.
Both goalies made a number of excellent saves to keep the scoreline the same.
The Robins finally put the game to bed in the 93rd minute as they broke free from a town attack and Jack Friend powered towards the Harleston goal and slipping a pass to Tom Stoker who confindently slotted home, putting the game to bed.
