S.Goff, R.Horton

The bad run continues, losing at bottom of the league Ruddington due to last minute goal.

Nathan George had a good chance to level 5 minutes later but the keeper saved well. On 33 minutes Linby should have had a penalty as Goff is brought down, but it's not given. Just 6 minutes later Goff is brought down again in the area. This time the referee awards a penalty and Goff fires home, 1-1.

Linby fall behind again on 65 minutes, Andy Davies scoring, 1-2. Linby find second equaliser on 81 minutes, when after an almighty scramble, centre half Ross Horton scores from close range, 2-2.

Linby thought they'd got a point, but in stoppage time a Ruddington free kick was glanced home by substitute John Douglas-Green, 2-3. The loss puts Linby into the bottom four.
