Diamonds boss Nunn can't wait for serious business to get underway
Diamonds followed up Saturday’s draw at neighbours Wellingborough Town with another stalemate on Tuesday night, 1-1 at another United Counties League side, Cogenhoe United.
It was something of a patched-up Diamonds side as Nunn was without the likes of Luke Massingham, Will Glennon, Oliver Raymond, Michael Harriman, Eniola Agemoh-Davies and Ben Gough, as well as long-term injury victim Ryan Hughes, who broke his leg at Histon last week.

"There are certain things we have to improve, and when you make the same mistake twice it becomes frustrating, and pre-season just gets a bit long now! It gets a bit tiring.
“The performance was okay, but when we play Wellingborough, Cogenhoe and teams like that, they want to beat us as it is a big game for them.
"It's important not to lose and we have only lost one game in pre-season, so that is a positive.

Diamonds host Rushden & Higham in their next friendly on Saturday, before entertaining Bedford Town in a hastily arranged final friendly next Tuesday.
