Manager’s report
The 1st game against Rochdale was a tight game. We went 0-1 down to a well taken goal. Only for Rob Rowney to score an excellent equaliser. Unfortunately, Rochdale scored their winner with only seconds left to play.
We dominated the next game against the "Invincibles" scoring first through Terry Harrison. It looked as though we were cruising to a fine win. However, the Invincibles scored an equaliser later in the game.
The final game was against a very combative Bury Relics team, currently top of the league. Rob Rowney put us 1-0 up with a well taken goal. We went on to dominate the game, outplaying Bury with Neil Gaskell holding up the ball well up front to create chances.Bury made it 1-1 through a fortunate goal.Our lead was restored when Rob scored a penalty after Bury had conceded 4 offences to make the score 2-1. Cruising to a win, we unfortunately conceded a fourth offence and a subsequent converted penalty.
A good day football, scoring 4 goals in 3 games, unfortunately conceding 5. We need to improve our defending in every position.
The most important people on the pitch, the referees Matt Howells and Ian Liversage, were excellent today.
