Yet another Saturday will go by without any football for Reds. Granted this particular Saturday is Christmas Day however.

Suggestions are that the weather may determine whether this match at Kendal goes ahead. It is only right and proper then that I deliver the forecast for Perth, Western Australia for the next few days; Friday 37C, Saturday 42C, Sunday 42C, Monday 41C. I'll stop there

After the 5-0 demolition of Kidsgrove, we visit a struggling Kendal team who parted ways with their manager this week.

Kendal are 19th with 7 points from 21 games
Reds are 2nd with 41 points from 19 games

Kendal at home 2-1-8
Reds away 6-2-1

Recent Kendal results:
18 Dec Glossop NE 2-0 Kendal
11 Dec Kendal 2-4 Bootle
4 Dec Widnes 3-1 Kendal
27 Nov City of Liverpool 0-0 Kendal
23 Nov Charnock Richard 4-1 Kendal (Lancashire FACT2R)
20 Nov Kendal 2-1 Market Drayton Town
16 Nov Kendal 0-2 Marine
13 Nov Trafford 4-2 Kendal
9 Nov Kendal 0-3 Runcorn
6 Nov Kendal 0-4 Kidsgrove

Kendal overall since 1 Nov 1-1-7
Reds overall since 1 Nov 5-1-0

Kendal's win over Market Drayton Town is their only league victory since defeating Prescot Cables 4-3 on 27 Sept

On paper, this looks more winnable than Kidsgrove, but as we all know, football is not played on paper.

Reds are currently 7 points behind Marine, both having played 19 games.

Other significant fixtures today:
Clitheroe (4th) v Colne
Kidsgrove v Leek (5th)
Marine (1st) v Bootle
Runcorn(6th) v Prescot
Warrington Rylands (3rd) v 1874 Northwich

Merry Christmas to all at the Club, all on this Forum, and indeed all involved with the Mighty Reds.
Come on you Reds.

500+ Reds fans in a gate of 705 saw the team eventually ease to victory on a heavy pitch against a battling but very limited Kendal team. After the shock of a 2nd minute home goal - far too easily conceded from a Reds point of view - Kyle Harrison restored parity with a thumping header from a corner, but expectations of an interval lead were disappointed as despite getting into several good positions out wide, the final ball was either lacking or scrambled away by home defenders.

Reds tactics in the 2nd half were evident - target the left back by getting Harrison & Connor Gaul in 2 on 1 situations, and they certainly worked with 2 crosses from the right providing Steven Rigg with goals, the first a deflected effort into the bottom corner, but the second a superb header which the keeper could only help into the net.

We could have had further goals but a combination of desperate defence and a tendency to overplay slightly meant it stayed at 3-1, with Kendal's only reply a bad miss with the ball being blazed over from close range.

Even without Atkinson, Evangelinos & Symington, Reds were far too good for The Mintcakes, though ex Red Chris Wraighte played well for them, and though he didn't get on the scoresheet the 2nd half gave us a masterclass by Conor Tinnion, his ball control, passing & game management being worthy of a much better stage than the dilapidated Parkside Road 'stadium.'

Laura was going to come looking for you if we'd got that 4th goal after you assumed she'd been on the sherry with that 4-1 prediction.
