Well, actually, this should be dated '03/02/2015', as the programme for the original, postponed match was used tonight.
Still, for the sake of completeness, here it is! All details were correct at the time of going to press, etc...

Good evening, everyone - and welcome to Barrow, with whom we meet for only the first time this season (having seemingly done battle, in various competitions, almost every other week during 2013/14!).
Tonight’s fixture is also our inaugural one for February... unless, of course, you find yourselves reading this sometime into Spring, which will have meant that the wintry conditions of the past few days didn’t relent!
Since our last notes, we have seen the team enjoy good fortunes. The home victory against Leamington saw County record not only a first ‘double’ of the season but also a first League win at EP in more than two months. This was followed up by success at Alsager in the Cheshire Senior Cup - a competition which, to date, is requiring us to do all the hard work away from home, and against clubs with ‘Town’ as their suffix. (Next up, a trip to Runcorn of that ilk!) And so then to Boston, where the snow from late last week failed to win. Neither did County - although the battling point there, against a side that scores goals for fun on its home turf, was no less welcome for that!
Well, Sandy – we’ve probably, over the last couple of years, used up all known puns about tonight’s opponents in these pages... but no doubt you’ll still have a barrow-load of Heavenly happenings to report?!

I have indeed!
I suspect you’re right about us having exhausted our Barrow-based puns, so we’d better hope County are in a different league to our opponents come next season (preferably one higher, rather than one lower). Make no mistake, though, Barrow are a tough side, and won’t let us push them around!
So, what news from Heaven? Well, our A-Z Soundtrack is nearing an end, with Pink Floyd, Queen, R.E.M., Stone Roses (The), and Teenage Fanclub having recently been added for weeks P-T, and, once we’ve concluded with Week Z (subject to a bonus track or two perhaps), we’ll then start the task of selecting one song from each band to make the album. Whilst an actual CD may never get made (stupid copyright laws), we’ve certainly had enormous fun compiling the list!
Elsewhere, Another_Ruined_Saturday recently retained his ‘Undisputed Poker Champion’ title, in a dramatic final showdown with Gazza and Dudley in the latest tournament; whilst Archie, Gazza and County_Fan have won the last three Limerick competitions, and deservedly so. If you haven’t yet checked out Lennie’s Limerick Lounge, you really should.
Lastly, by the time this article reaches our worldwide audience, we’ll know who has won Downy’s Prediction League for January - it’s one of the closest months I can remember for a long time, going into the final week. Why not sign up to CH now, ready to take part for February?!
Enjoy the match.
