TENBURY Town boss Keiran Fish wants his side to channel their aggression more positively after admitting they let their tempers get the better of them in last weekend’s defeat to Ross Juniors.

Town led at the break through Al Bright but were pegged back and lost out to a late deflected goal, suffering a second Herefordshire League Division One defeat on the spin.

With no linesman provided by the league, both sides had to run the line and Fish felt some of the decisions made were questionable – but wants his side to be above that.

Fish said: “There were a fair few offsides that didn’t go down well and the team started to get irate which affected our performance and it turned into a scrappy game.

“It should probably have been 4-0 at half-time so we told the lads to cut out arguing with the ref and let the goals do the talking – but we came out in the second half and things didn’t really change.

“It’s good to have aggression in your game but Saturday was a bit too much – maybe everybody had their Weetabix.

“It was definitely a different side of the game that I have never seen from us, trying to bully people off the ball in some ways but not in others. It has to be controlled.”

Tenbury United, meanwhile, were not in action and do not have a league game this weekend – but are holding a tribute game in memory of former player Nigel Weaver on Saturday.

Nigel – who played for United for many years as a junior and adult – died of a heart attack in March 2018, aged 47, having been battling cancer of the tonsils.

The son of former club chairman Dave ‘Magic’ Weaver, Nigel will be remembered by a match at Palmers Meadow involving a host of Tenbury United heroes past and present.

There will be a youth team game at 1pm, followed by the main event at 2.30pm, while there will also be refreshments, a raffle and an auction of West Bromwich Albion and Villa shirts.

Money raised will go to the Heart Foundation and local cancer charity THANC.

Tenbury club stalwart Stuart Skidmore has helped organise the game and he said: “Nigel was a ‘proper’ Tenbury person who did a lot for the community.

“We want to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated money, raffle prizes and auction donations. But it’s a day to remember Nigel as well as to raise money for these charities."
