Prescot Cables 0 Frickley Athletic 2

Saturday 16th November 2008

Goals from Frickley’s  Neil Towler, settled this close encounter, between two sides who needed the points to move further up the table.

Cables started the better and applied early pressure on the Frickley defence, without creating any clear cut chances.

Play was becoming very scrappy and both sides lacked the cutting edge to breakdown both solid looking defences. Close to half time Cables had two excellent opportunities, but both Byers and Moore shot straight at the keeper and the chances were lost. Early in the second half Frickley made Cables pay for those missed chance, when they scored twice in a seven minute spell.

Both goals were scored by Towler, First a free header, when a deep cross was missed by Cables static defence, and the second when a long ball found Towler clear and he lobbed the ball over the advancing keeper. Cables used all three substitutes to try and get back into the game, but although they applied a lot of pressure they were unable to create any chances and Frickley’s defence easily held on till full time.

Prescot Cables Hibbert, Smith, Flood, O’Donnell, Moore, McIntosh, Cooney, Taylor, Byers, Connolly, S.Williams. Subs. Henders, Green (for Byers 62), Bell, Forsyth( for Taylor 62), P. Williams(for Smith 62).

“We’re a hundred percent behind the Capital of Culture, and felt strongly that a town with such a rich history and heritage should be involved,” said Robert. “We’ve grown from being a weekend-long event in 2005 to 10 days in 2007 and 2008. It’s only been onward and upward.”
