Whether it  was the away strip or the low afternoon sun 

Whether it  was the away strip or the low afternoon sun, but Stockport never seemed to get going, apart from the a couple of shots/scrabbles around the goal by Laura and Jodie. Oldham Ladies had a couple of starred players and it was obvious which ones they were, controlling the midfield and making breaks.  Andrea playing her 15th match of the weekend played well, keeping out the Oldham attack for most of the first half, however towards the end apparently the ball rolled (?) over the line.
 
In the 2nd half, there was no excuse for the sun, Susan “ super glue” Elcock had a go man to man marking the * Oldham player but even she struggled to  keep her under wraps.  Oldham scored a second after the defence failed to clear. However there was still plenty of time to go and from the restart there was a sudden burst of energy ….Sam Piggin collected the ball from Laura and ran at the Oldham defence, it was like the parting of the waves and the ball hit the back of the net.  From then on it was all Stockport, with Emily Smith taking a battering from lifted balls, but it was just a touch to late to get one back.
 
Final Score 1 – 2
 
Player of the match: Sally Fort
