WOKING 0 BURTON ALBION 0 (28/02/09)
It
is a case of two points dropped at Kingfield this afternoon as the
Brewers missed a host of chances to maintain their lead at the top
of the table.
The
hosts put up a gutsy performance but rarely failed Kevin Poole in
the Albion goal, whilst Shaun Harrad was particularly guilty of
spurning good chances at the other end.
With
Histon winning 3-0 at bottom club Lewes, the gap at the top of the
table is down to 13 points which could be reduced to 7 points if the
Stutes win their two games in hand.

BURTON ALBION 2 WREXHAM 1 (17/02/09)
The
Brewers continued their unbeaten league run with a gutsy comeback
against promotion chasing Wrexham.
The
visitors dominated for long periods in the first half and deservedly
took the lead through Jefferson Louis but a debut goal from Martin
Butler and a first league goal from Lee Morris turned the game
around.
The
only sour note of the evening was the red card shown to Lee Morris
for a clumsy challenge in injury time which means he will now miss
the next three matches.

SNOW STOPS PLAY AT STONEBRIDGE ROAD (12/02/09)
This
evenings Blue Square Premier game at Ebbsfleet United was abandoned
after 65 minutes due to snow.
The
home side were leading the game after Jamie Hand scored in the third
minute and it looked as though the Brewers would struggle to get
anything from the match.
The
referee had no choice to call the game to an early conclusion after
the snow, which had been constantly falling even before kick off,
completely covered the pitch markings and made it impossible for the
officials to make decisions.

BURTON ALBION 3 RUSHDEN & DIAMONDS 0 (09/02/09)
The
Brewers produced a gem of a performance against Diamonds to extend
their lead at the top of the table to 19 points.
The
first half was fairly even, but John McGrath's strike gave Burton
the advantage at the break. The second half was all Albion's and
Ryan Austin's effort was deflected into the net by Shaun
Harrad to double the lead just one minute into the second period,
before Harrad grabbed his second to make it 3-0 just after the hour
mark.
