Cheadle Town 3-3 Holker Old Boys

The Holker Old Boys came into town and what a game it turned out to be! I'd just watched a terrible game involving the 2nd and 3rd best teams currently in the Premiership where back passes went astray and free kicks were played out like Laurel & Hardy moments.

Here we had another six goal thriller. No match report from me as such (The Pole wasn't at the match), but what a game. An early penalty for a clear handball from Cheadle set up a storming game; we bundled in an equaliser and shortly afterwards Deano was sent off, so an uphill struggle for Cheadle was on the cards. An we were on our flat pitch, not their slope!

Anyway we had to equalise again for 2-2 and edged ahead at 3-2 - we were looking good and set for the perfect answer to our 4-2 defeat at their place. Alas it wasn't to be with a late equaliser from the old boys who actually look like young boys to this ageing football supporter.

Great game. Maggie and my mate Ian (a new boy to these depths) enjoyed it to. His neutral call was that we are a decent team. Thanks Ian; hope to see you back in Cheadle again soon!
