NARTEY LEAPS FROM LIFEBOAT TO SNKING SHIP!

After highlighting Joe Nartey as one of the main threats in Maidenhead’s arsenal, it now appears I have been overtaken by events as the striker as now thrown his lot in with Dulwich’s relegation crusade. Obviously questions will be asked about his reasons for leaving the Magpies particularly in light of their recent good form and joining a club that seems doomed to relegation, but if he can consistently find the back of the net as his past achievements have proven, then Dulwich fans will certainly overlook any journeyman jibes. Having joined Maidenhead from Boreham Wood earlier in the season, the former Aldershot hitman has found a rich vein of form including the opening goal as his former club was beaten 3-0 at York Road, part of a 7 match unbeaten run that lifted the Magpies clear of the relegation slot(s). Since leaving Aldershot back in 1999, Nartey has appeared for a number of clubs among them Chesham and Sutton but has never really settled down at any one club. Unfortunately, it appears he will not be available for Saturday’s match against Maidenhead as he is currently serving the last game of a three-match suspension.
