Mossley v Chorley

A game of two halves indeed - a disjointed first half saw Mossley take the lead with a Graham Kay header, only for Chorley to come out of the blocks faster in the second half with two early goals - second one by Amadi was a belter. However, Mossley buckled down and threw everything at the Chorley defence - a bit messy for the most part, but pressure is pressure and the reward finally came with an equaliser from the spot. Chances at both ends followed but 2-2 - probably a fair result in the end. Some pix at:

Only other disappointment - for me - no mention in the programme - I was the Match Ball Sponsor today - but I got my free admission/butties/programme and stuff ...

A few worries though - several players missing from the Mossley team - and only two (instead of five) on the bench - can't all be "work committments" I'm sure ... hmm ...

Some other numbers from today - a healthy 246 crowd at Mossley - Colwyn Bay (obviously still smarting from their FA Cup defeat by St Helens Town) went to Radcliffe Borough and scored 7 (seven). Burscough went one better smacking 8 (eight) past the new Unibon Prem "whipping boys" of Durham City - and one Chorley/Mossley connection - Steve Burke scored for Skelmersdale in their 2-1 defeat at Prescot.

Bank Holiday now officially over - back to "work" tomorrow - can't wait ......
