Saturday's Opponents: Holker Old Boys
Pa-pa-pa-paa-pa-pa-paaaaah! Cue drum roll and big fanfare - it's the trip to the South Lakes for the away trip to Holker Old Boys.
No setting off at 2.00pm for us this Saturday. The desire to leave nothing to chance where the traffic is concerned allied with a sick cupidity to "make a day of it" means an 11.00am departure from Manchester with a nice little stop-off at the Whitewater Hotel in Backbarrow on the way, hopefully to rendezvous with the squad.
Away from the logistics of the 200-mile round trip, Cheadle could do with an away league win - something they have only managed once this season (at Daisy Hill).
Last season this match ended up with a 2-4 defeat despite Cheadle dominating play for most of the game. If this match would have been played before the turn of the new year then I'd have said that a repeat result was impossible as Holker couldn't buy a win for love nor money.
But things have changed. Holker have started to get their act together and face us only six points behind and with three wins and two draws to their name...and as our brace of home victories in the league match and the Division Two Trophy (where they took us to extra-time) proved, they are a bugger to beat.
I might as well tell you all now that the match report for this might not appear on here until Sunday (I can't be arsed writing a match report after a two-and-a-half hour drive), and if you're a regular reader of this blog, there'll eventually be something else for you to set your eyes on as a result of this away day. Watch this space.
Come on Cheadle!

1-0 to Holker & the Pole & Paladin guys rushing off at 5 o’clock, it would have been great if they had stayed in lonely old Barrow for a couple of pints, as they dashed out of the club on their way home I asked, in my broadest Cumbrian if they wanted a drink, as I was an avid reader of this web site they both nodded & ran out of the club, Pole saying what did he say? Obviously my Cumbrian is far to difficult to understand, but never mind, the guys do a great job, next year stop for the night & leave at circa 19.00 with a few ‘slurps’ inside you!
The game itself was 'pants' with the over rated & crap Preston referee living up to his useless reputation, as a junior ref he was totally crap & conforming his complete ineptitude. Holker scored just after half time when a good midfield Holker move ended with the Cheadle 4&5 running into each other & 17 year old Phil Morris slotting the free ball home. I must state that some of the Cheadle tackles were on the saviour side but must congratulate their manger & skipper Deano who both were vocal in their 'lets play & not fight' shouts.
However as much as both sides tried to play the incompetence of the idiot with the whistle must take the bisect, 3/10, clean boots, whistle and turned up on time, everything else...bog off!
