PRESTWICH HEYS v SPRINGHEAD

Saturday 27th September

Prestwich Heys Entrance

Manchester Premier League
Result, Prestwich Heys 1 Springhead 3
Attendence 45
Admission £2
Programme 24 pages, free with admission, 6 out of 10


excellent day again for football, so a trip to local club
Prestwich Heys was on the cards, they play in the Premier
division of the Manchester League and have been champions
on many occasion, there looking to step up, but there's work to
be done on the ground, anyway entertaining game this one
with all the goals coming in the first half, with Prestwich looking
the better in the first 10 mins, going ahead 1 nil, then a flurry of
goals coming form Springhead totally transformed the game. So
to the 2nd half, total contrast, hard fought but no real chances
so the game ended 1 v 3 to Springhead, excellent day all round.




here's to the next game to the 100

Admission £7.50

gramme 40 pages 10 out of 10, excellent programme


an excellent day for football, sun shining for a change,
so it was off to FC United for a Unibond Premier game
FC have come along way since there formation in 2005
and you can only admire what they have achieved so far,
but in my opinion the
y have now reached a stage where
it will be difficult for them to go further, with no sponsers,
and not paying the wages that most players in whatever league
want, be it right or wrong!!, so it would be interesting to keep
an eye on the future for FC.

The game itself was an hard fought encounter, but a total lack
of goal scoring chances at both ends.

The ground itself is looking pretty decent, obviously its Bury FC's
ground with FC shar
ing,




excellent day all round

Northern Hopping




Welcome to my new blog i hope you enjoy what i put here? and yes you guessed it, its a Ground Hopping blog site, basically i'll be posting all the games attended this season, which won't be that many if Royal Mail have there way!!, yes i work for HRH especially Saturdays and most evenings, mmmmmm not good for Ground Hopping, but i'll do what i can. So where better to start than my own local club Salford City FC, they play in the unibond div one and right now are bottom with 1 point, but doing well in cup comps, strange as they normally get knocked out right away, so here's the first post, cheers.
