Leigh Genesis v Lancaster City @Crilly Park Atherton
71 hardy souls turned up to watch this epic encounter, when the match should have been played Leigh had just lost their previous home game 8-0 however in the meantime better players had been brought in therefore this would not be a walkover for City.
A less than enthralling first half, lots of running around with very little to show for it. With a desperately small crowd the words of the players were clearly heard, totally surprised to hear that most footballers actually swear. Stunned and shocked by it.
Neither keeper had a shot to save and for those anoraks there were 2 trains on the line behind the bottom goal. The one thing you should no about Crilly Park is that it makes the ski jump at Innsbruck look like a flat surface.
City kicked down the hill in the first half and possibly shaded the first half but as neither side did anything of note you could possibly say neither side shaded it.
Ambled into the clubhouse for abit of warmth and noticed that Jamie Redknapp had failed to find his razor again, too busy taking free holidays with Tompson’s.
2nd half began with the tempreture plummiting toward zero, happily the game was better, Hall hitting the bar for Lancaster and Priestley the loud and wide keeper for Leigh twice saving well.
Leigh had a spell of pressure and a shot from 30 yards was superbly tipped over the bar by Fearon the City keeper. Leigh also had a shot cleared from the line but that was as close as we got to a goal, City finished the game the stronger but could not break down the resolute home defence.
During the 2nd half there was the sight of a car being driven down the railway line towards Wigan, British Rail obviously have gone on an economy drive
The referee brought an end to proceedings into the cold Atherton night the 71 went.
Leigh Genesis 0 Lancaster City 0 Att 71
