Efforts have paid off

GRAHAM Heathcote declared Alty’s defeat over Cambridge United as “the best 90 minutes of football” he had seen from the team all season.
The Alty boss told SAM Sport that the victory meant his squad were more than a match for other teams in the Blue Square Premier League, following their exit from the FA Cup last week after playing Luton Town FC.
Talking about the game against the Cambridge side, which the Robins won 1-0, Heathcote said: “This was the best I’ve seen the team play because of the difficulty the players faced getting themselves ready mentally after overcoming the disappointment of going out of the FA Cup last Tuesday.
“I’m convinced the players are more than a match for any other team in the league. They put in 100 per cent effort and the results are proving the team is capable of making an impact in the league.”
Altrincham will take on Rushden & Diamonds this Saturday at Moss Lane and will go into the game, to kick off at 4pm, in 11th place, just a point behind their opponents but with a game in hand.
