Season Starts At Last

Clitheroe 0 Mossley 2

Mossley made a fine start to the season with a convincing win in Lancashire!! LOL!! It was a promising start with the side looking full of pace breaking forward, although many defences will probably not be as static as Clitheroe's.


Michael Fish broke from deep and kept going to knock in the first goal to give the Lilywhites a deserved lead. Mossley capped a fine first half when Fish doubled the lead just before the break.


The second half saw Clitheroe push on more but they never quite seemed to have the cutting edge to break the Mossley rearguard. It was certainly a promising start but let's see what materialises over the next few games.

July Pre Season Friendlies

Sorry for the lateness of these posts and picture links, but for those that know me I have had a major flood at home and am currently decorating and flooring/carpetting 4 rooms!!

Anyway back to the footy. Things are currently looking rather promising with a squad of players starting to assemble that seem to have a rough idea of tactical nous. It has been nice to see the ball played on the floor and passing between players rather than a big hopeful hoof. Also, the amount of shots on goal are surprisingly enough resulting in a few goals. It sounds simple but goals last season were about as rare as a British summer. Have we had it or are we still waiting?

As is usual for this stage of the season, I am not sure of many names but below are a few images from recent games. For more pictures, visit my Flickr links.

Hopefully this positive start can be maintained once the real stuff starts in a fortnight.
