Manager’s report

Last round at Heywood, just the 6 today, so thanks to Steve Moss, Martyn Heath and Pete Smith for helping out. Game 1. Lost 0-1 to Rochdale, with Terry scoring with the only shot they had, played some great football but Rochdale keeper had an inspired game.Game 2 won 1-0 against our bogie team Bolton. It was a great own goal.Game 3 0-0 against Panthers, who were promoted. Great game of football, got a little feisty at times. Great save by Nigel to secure the point.Game 4. Lost 1-2 to Ribble who won the league. Started badly, sloppy play at the back gave them a goal in the first 2 minutes. Nip and tuck, then they scored from a corner routine. Nigel again pulled off a great save. Then Steve Moss scored a great goal to give Ribble a nervy last few minutes.
A huge thank you to all striders personnel who have played for the Greens this year, helping us to put a team on the pitch each month. No trophies but lots of enjoyment. If I don't see any of you before the break, all the best for Xmas.
