1st Nov: Match Reports

First Team

The Firsts looked to make it 5 on the bounce against Accrington today.

An unfortunate start to the game, with T. Beal going down with a serious injury. All the Saints wish him a speedy recovery as he awaits surgery.

After the stoppage, the Saints kicked on and raced into a 2 goal lead thanks to L. Neal peach and J. Beal header.

We slacked off from then conceding a sloppy goal as Accy got one back.

Before the break J. Beal restored the 2 goal lead with another clinical header.

After half time it was all Saints. We controlled the game and were the best team.

S. Keown grabbed a goal after a looping L. Neal cross hit the post and came back to him, and he doubled his tally with another clinical strike after a J. Doolin through ball.

The day was rounded off with a J. Beal finish to round off his hat trick. A good few days for JB with the POTM and a Hat Trick.

MOTM- That boy JB. Class act.

Onto the next.

3 quickly became 4 as the impressive F. McKenzie helped himself to a hatrick after winning a penalty he made no mistake from the spot. 4-1 at half time to the Saints.

The second half was more contested by Chadderton who managed to grab themselves another goal from the penalty spot themselves. F. Barlow got the 5th from a free kick. A very well deserved goal after his play making.
