Magnum PI
Private Detective
Here is the latest fortnightly roundup from the Ex-Shrimpers. Glad to see I am still of some use as my scouts found a few missed by others. Work is crazy at the moment so struggling to get them on the web.
17 March
Hal Robson-Kanu scored of course against Southend in the big 3-0 win
On the same night Gareth Risbridger came back from injury with a brace for Staines Town in a 2-2 draw at home to Tonbridge Angels
21 March
Barry Conlon off the mark for loan club Grimsby Town in a 3-0 hammering of Gillingham
Gary Hooper does it again with a goal in the 2-0 home win against Brighton
Billy Paynter with a goal in the 3-0 home win for Swindon against Hereford
Leon Constantine leaves Northampton on-loan to Cheltenham and bags in first 5 minutes against Huddersfield away in 2-2 draw
Luke Guttridge gets his first of the season for Northampton in the 4-0 hammering of Stockport
Roscoe D'Sane picks up another goal in a 3-2 win at Northwich Victoria
Mark Salter vainly chasing at Gary Hoopers coat-trails in the ToolStation Western Premier with a goal in the 2-2 draw at home to Ilfracombe Town
Michael Kightly scores again (its been a while) - the winner at Nottingham Forest
Luke Nightingale scores at home to Thurrock in a 2-2 draw
Sam Higgins now at Brentwood Town, and on target in the 2-1 win at East Thurrock United
Brett Darby scores Quorns only goal in a 3-1 defeat at home to Stocksbridge Park steels
Jason Lee on loan at Corby Town, with a goal in the 3-3 draw at Farnborough
24 March
Roscoe D'Sane again with the Torquay goal in a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to lowly Grays
Adam Wallace scores for Windsor & Eton in the long trip to Truro City - ultimately a 4-2 defeat
Lee Hodges following his move from AFC Hornchurch bags a goal for Billericay in a 2-2 draw at Heybridge Swifts. Hodges was later in the week named caretaker manager at Billericay
Billy Paynter strikes again in a 4-3 win at Northampton
Goal machine Efe Sodje with another in 1-1 draw at Rotherhams Don Valley Stadium
25 March
Mark Salter scores again in the 1-1 draw at home to Welton Rovers
28 March
3 in a week for Mark Salter scoring again against Ilfracombe Town but this time in a 3-1 away win
Martin Carruthers back from a long absence scores for Arnold Town in a 3-1 home win against Hall Road Rangers
Neil Tolson brought himself on after finding Hyde United 2-0 down to Harrogate Town after just 10 minutes ! He almost did the job, and scored in the 3-2 defeat
Tom Jordan scored in Eastleighs 2-1 promotion battling win over AFC Wimbledon
Luke Nightingale continues his rich vein of scoring form with a goal in the 2-1 defeat at Hampton and Richmond Borough
Brett Darby again for Quorn in a 4-2 win at Carlton Town
Charles Ademeno comes on as sub for Salisbury and scores the second goal in a 2-0 win over Eastbourne Borough
Luke Guttridge quickly gets his second of season in a 1-1 draw at Carlisle
Barry Conlon with a vital goal for Grimsby scum in a 1-0 win at home to Aldershot
.. and finally special mention for Gary Hooper, whose impressive brace in front of handfuls of scouts at Glanford Park, essentially drove potentially the final nail into our feint playoff hopes with a brace against the Ewes.
With 4 goal lead at the top despite another fine fortnight from Mark Salter, I am now in the process of trying to contact Gary to arrange the trophy to be presented
