I sat down with Barton Rovers manager to talk about his motivation and work with youth support organisation Directional CIC. That is followed up with input form Barton Rovers Chairman Darren Whiley who describes how the stadium and club have been on a journey of improvement and how it looking completely refurbished.

Barton lost three nil to Step 3 Folkestone Invicta who's striker Tom Derry was a handful bagging two good goals and doing just as well in his defending box at set pieces. His strike partner Daniel Smith also put in a brilliant display as did centre back Marvel Ekpiteta. In Barton's efforts to get back a one nil deficit they fell foul to two mistakes which ultimately ended their excellent FA Trophy cup run. But some players still stood out. I was impressed with Martel Powell, Ashton Grant and Lucas Kirkpatrick and others.
