So with no action to update you on we may as well keep you up to date with the league table. As you can see, the league title is very much in our sights despite not having topped the table all season! With Preston finishing their allotted games and Bury only having one more to play, the championship will be ours unless we go on a horrific run and do something we haven't done since May 2005- lose a game.

Our next big game is on April 22nd when we entertain Hibs in the IFA Cup quarter-finals and we are out for revenge as they were the last team to beat us 11 months ago at the same stage of the competition. As we have found to our detriment in the past, travelling such a long way in the IFA is notoriously difficult, so having home advantage, compounded by high confidence, gives us a great chance of progressing to the semi-finals where we will meet either the winners of Preston or Stockport, Forest or AFC Wimbledon.

With our Worldnet success in July counting as this season, we are on course to make IFA history by being holders of all three competitions at once and it's thoroughly enjoyable to be involved with a winning Rotherham team!!
