Like us Uxbridge are currently undefeated in league games to date and we are only separated in the league table with a slightly better goal difference and occupy fourth and fifth positions respectively (Cheshunt having just moved above us both having played a game more). Games between us have usually been very close affairs and things are certainly looking to be in that direction currently. Our trip to Kempston Rovers on Saturday ended in defeat although I think that a draw would have been a fairer outcome based on the game itself.
