Six Of The Worst For Railway

28th January, 2008

NCEL Premier Division side Lincoln Moorlands Railway feel certain they have claimed an unwanted record having conceded a penalty in no less than six consecutive games.

Secretary Graham Peck said: "I have never seen anything like it.

"The run of penalties started at Winterton Rangers on Boxing Day and ended against Eccleshill United last Wednesday.

"I would challenge any team at any level of football to have endured such bad luck. I might even contact the Guinness Book of Records!

"Although we lost against Mickleover on Saturday, we hope we have broken the penalty voodoo sign on us as, at least, we didn't concede one in the game.

"Our club have always wanted a bit of fame for something, but this fame we could well do without.

"It's rather ironic as well that our young goalkeeper Phil McGann made his debut against the first of them and has faced every one of them so far - not the best start to his career at the club.

"I think everyone at the club must have each broken a mirror in the last few weeks."

The club are now keen to hear from anyone who has had a similar record and are asked to e-mail Graham at g.peck@ntlworld.com.
