Denaby splendid performances in the Middle and League have carried them to 12th Place in the league tables on equal points with Scunthorpe. To win 4-3 at Peterborough after being a couple of goals down was a first class feat and completed a trio of successes which should lend them a good deal of confidence for their rearranged fixture with Rotherham United Reserve at Tickill Square tomorrow afternoon. Denaby lost 2-1 at Millmoor in September.
They have scored 12 goals in their last three matches, three against Scarborough, five against Ollerton, and four against Peterborough.
