| 08/03/2008 | Stockport 4s v Bolton 3s | 4-6 |
A win for the 4th s today would have capped a great season but
alas it wasn’t to be. Bolton having kept us waiting for 15
minutes started quicker which wasn’t a surprise considering we were
all freezing having waited! No we don’t warm up, we wouldn’t be fit
to play if we did!
It was 15 minutes before the deadlock was broken with Bolton scoring
against the run of play. Stockport continued to press but
unfortunately went 2 – 0 down just before the break. Yet again
Stockport came out fighting after and a dreadful mistake from the
Bolton fullback saw the ball intercepted by Viv Hudson, her quick
thinking found Debbie Mole on her own in Bolton’s circle and she
wasn’t going to miss from point blank range, 2-1. Stockport
found a second wind and began to get on top of Bolton, some slick
play from the central players found Nat Sutherland who lobbed the
ball over the keeper to score a superb goal.
Bolton suddenly woke up and with some well drilled passing moves
calved the Stockport defence apart, they looked a different team and
were soon 5 -2 up from nowhere. Justina Maddock continued her
run of goal scoring and closed the gap to 5 – 3 but following a
torrential down pour and an onslaught from the home team, they made
the game safe at 6 -3 with only few minutes remaining. It was
a great performance from Stockport who at times looked by far the
better team. Justina added another to her tally to make the
final score 6 -4.
Well done to everyone who has played for the 4th team this season,
finishing 4th in the division is a great achievement. Bit of a turn
up I think.
Congrats to everyone.
