Barton Rovers Football Club

Barton Rovers turned in one of their best performance in many years as they hammered one of the title favourites Royston Town 6-3 on Tuesday evening. The visitors romped into a 3-0 lead after only 13 lucky minutes with a brace from Connor Calcutt and one from Billy Adcock.

Barton Rovers let a golden opportunity to claim all three points escape them against Egham Town on Saturday after losing their cutting edge in front of goal. The hosts took the lead in the first minute as Steve Gentle bundled home a corner from close range but from that point onward the back of the net became elusive. Rovers had numerous gilt edged chances, Rod Young went clean through on the keeper but shot straight at him, aerial ping pong followed from a corner but ended w

Barton Rovers progressed to the second qualifying round of the FA Cup with an excellent 1-0 win at Thurlow Nunn Premier Division side Stanway Rovers on Saturday. Blues boss Jimmy Gray continued with the same side that beat table-topping Chalfont St Peter on Bank Holiday Monday but the performance was a stark contrast to the brilliance shown in the league game just days before. On a dusty sloping pitch devoid of any real grass and a cross-wind blowing strongly, the game wasn’t
