The Garden's Looking Rather Rosy

I've not posted since the Woodley trilogy due to a lack of time and a few camera problems with batteries. The recent performances aren't even recognisable from the start of September.

In fact, never mind a different team, it actually looks like a different game. The last two home games have been outstanding, especially the Newcastle game.

Gareth Hamlett head home against Ossett

Depending on the sources used, there is a considerable weekly sum being spent on Newcastle's wages, including some players who played in the Scottish Cup Final for Gretna last season.

Ouch against Ossett!!

Coupled with some totally inept refereeing, the spirit show by the Lilywhites was remarkable. The only slight negative was the return of the penalty curse. Mossley took an early lead when a poor clearance from the keeper saw the ball land at Paul Quinn's feet but still some 35-40 yards from goal he calmly drove the ball back into the empty net.

If this had been the Premiership the goal would have been replayed all weekend. Mossley had numerous chances to extend their lead and when the visitors levelled with about 20 minutes left, one wondered if this team may fold, but the spirit shone through and within 2 minutes , Mossley were back in front again.
