Two defeats on the bounce. Seven goals conceded and not one scored. And after going all the way through to March unbeaten, these are truly hurt. So as we all awoke this morning knowing the task in front of us, it was going to be a really happy day – or another miserable Saturday night. […]
We needed to put that first league defeat of the season to the back of our minds as soon as could – and going to the home of the league-leaders was going to be the first chance we had to do it as today saw us travel into central Manchester to the Armitage Centre to […]
These Saturdays come around so quickly – but with the way the lads are playing, there isn’t something we’re moaning about. With games being called off across the borough due to the incessant rain we’d seen all week, it is testament to Graham and his hard work that not only was the pitch at Radcliffe […]
Three goals in the last seven minutes in Atherton last weekend saw the Reserves clinch another three points and still unbeaten since that first pre-season win at Breightmet United, we were going over to Horwich RMI determined to keep that run going. But let’s remember – today’s hosts were also our first opponents in the […]
A fortnight ago saw us probably play as poorly as we have done since pre-season commenced – but the 1-1 draw in Altrincham preserved our unbeaten run – and as we began to prepare for this latest instalment, Wayne, Callum and Brian were looking for much-improved performances across the board for this one. Today was […]
As the week progressed, so did the excitement – but today was what the whole summer had been about. We had got together a set of lads – many of whom had never played together – and somehow forged them into quite a force throughout pre-season. Having won four and drawn one, we were going […]
Having had what seems like too long away from matches, tonight saw Wayne, Callum and Brian take our reserves into competitive action once again – and this time it was a completely different challenge that was in store for the lads. Tonight’s visitors to The County Ground were Bolton Castle – a team who ply […]
So far this pre-season, it’s been an unblotted record for Wayne, Callum and Brian – although the latter two haven’t shown their faces that often! – but after three wins out of three, the mood in the camp is really good. The 4-0 win in midweek was a good run-out but today was going to […]
Fresh off the back of another good win at Old Bolts at the weekend, it was quickly back to action for County’s reserves as we made another short trip over to Tottington to take on United’s Development Squad and with yet more new faces for Wayne to take at look at, he was looking forward […]
Following on from our great win at Breightmet United last Thursday, this was the next chance for us to gauge where we are with this season’s second string – and it was the relatively short trip to Edgworth to take on Old Boltoninas Reserves that was on the agenda for this one. We were supposed […]
