Whittelesey (Coates) Athletic manager Lodge has title in his sights

His side are a point clear of Oakham United at the top of the Peterborough and District League, with Netherton United a further three points adrift in third.

Jamie Darlow was on target but Whittlesey were held 1-1 by Uppingham Town on Saturday.

Lodge said: “We are doing all right. To be honest we missed a lot of chances against Uppingham.

“We would have expected to beat them but, otherwise, we’ve picked up since our first game this season.

“The attitude of the lads is good - they are all winners and fully committed every week.

“I think, where we are, we would be disappointed if we don’t win the league, but it would be the same for any of the top three.

“I always say give it until after Christmas but if we stay in place we have a massive chance.”

Their next game is at Leverington Sports, who lost 2-1 at Langtoft United, on Saturday.
