March 4

Vauxhall (14-9-12, 12th) at Gateshead (15-10-11, 8th)

Willie Dunn finally gets on the board 10 minutes in. Then we fall asleep defensively again and give up two quick goals. Martin Dey strikes back with a long range shot in the 39th minute to equalize for us before the half. Then Hubbard comes alive in the 2nd half with two goals to put the game away. Gateshead pull one back, but not until the 92nd minute.

Final: Vauxhall 4, Gateshead 3
Goals: Hubbard 2, Dunn, Dey
Assists: Clark, Fry, Dunn, Hubbard
Top Three: Hubbard 9.1, Dunn 8.6, Fry 7.7
Worst: Blakely 6.3


March 10

Vauxhall (15-9-12, 11th) vs. Wrexham (18-7-12, 5th)

So after a great performance in the previous match, the teams turns to shit here. It's actually a scoreless tie at the half, but they are dominating and the onslaught is inevitable. They score in the 54th, 64th, and 74th minutes to blow us away.

Final: Wrexham 3, Vauxhall 0
Goals:
Assists:
Top Three: Fry 6.6, Dey 6.6, Hubbard 6.4
Worst: Barnett 6.0


March 14

Vauxhall (15-9-13, 12th) vs. Cambridge (14-8-16, 16th)

Well we get on the board first on another early Dunn goal. But then it's total disaster. Cambridge score 3 goals in the first half ona combination of poor defensive and goalkeeping play. We manage to pull one back in the 2nd half, but this is a horrendous loss at home against a weaker team.

Final: Cambridge 3, Vauxhall 2
Goals: Dunn, Harris
Assists: Brown, Hubbard
Top Three: Brown 7.7, Dunn 7.0, Harris 6.8
Worst: Kennedy 6.0


March 17

Vauxhall (15-9-14, 12th) vs. Sutton United (12-10-16, 19th)

And we hit rock bottom here. They catch us off guard with a goal in the 1st minute. Things are so bad for our offense these days that we miss a chance to equalize on a penalty. We eventually do equalize, but but Sutton come out strong in the 2nd half with goals in the 47th and 51st minutes. We fight hard to pull one back and it looks like we have a shot until they put it away with another one in the 68th minute.

Final: Sutton United 4, Vauxhall 1
Goal: Byrne
Assist: Dey
Top Three: Byrne 7.1, Dey 7.1, Walker 6.6
Worst: Prescott 5.9


March 21

Vauxhall (15-9-15, 13th) at Luton Town (17-5-17, 11th)

Well, we've been losing to crappy teams at home. No reason to think we can match up against a good team on the road. And sure enough, we are down 3-0 after only 15 minutes. That is the score at the half and I'm resigned to another awful loss. But then we come out in the 2nd half and Hubbard scores goals in the 51st and 57th minutes. Suddenly we're back in it! Then we steal a throw in and Prescott comes through with an equalizer in the 66th minute. Two minutes later, Hubbard completes his hat trick to give us the lead! But this is Vauxhall football, so of course we give up a late equalizer on a corner kick.

Final: Vauxhall 4, Luton 4
Goals: Hubbard 3, Prescott
Assists: Dey, Prescott, Dunn
Top Three: Hubbard 9.6, Prescott 7.7, Dey 6.8
Worst: Walker 6.1


March 25

Vauxhall (15-10-15, 13th) at Dag & Red (21-10-9, 2nd)

This is the team we always lose to. We actually play them pretty well, but a first half goal (thanks to some absurdly poor defensive positioning) is enough for them to hold on to the victory as we can't break through offensively.

Final: Dag & Red 1, Vauxhall 0
Goals:
Assists:
Top Three: Tait 7.2, Byrne 6.7, Clark 6.6
Worst: Walker 6.0
