Martin Carruthers said:
“There has been a lot of talk about the bad run we have been in but the players showed great character to control the game at Eastwood on Tuesday and to impose our play on the game.

“We have been boosted by the return of players such as Fernando Bell-Toxtle and Louis Tomlinson and with Liam Hearn approaching full fitness, the outlook is good.

“Obviously we will be losing Kole Lambert to the professional game but it is a great opportunity for him and everyone at Basford wishes him the very best of luck.

“North Ferriby have been struggling but we have learned that there are no easy games in this league. They have some good players that will hurt us if we give them a chance. As always we need to be on our game to get a result.”

When the sides met at Greenwich Avenue in November, we triumphed 4-2. Dan Nichols put Ferriby in front, but Nat Watson levelled before half time. Jordan Harrison restored Ferriby’s lead in the first minute of the second half, but Watson restored parity before Liam Hearn gave us the lead, Watson completing his hat trick in the last minute.
