Cheadle Hulme close in on Club AZ.
Cheadle Hulme closed the gap on Club AZ to just four points after they game from behind to beat Poynton Nomads 2-1 at Bollington Rec., while AZ were frustrated by a waterlogged pitch preventing their crucial game against FC Flyers from going ahead. Player/Coach Jon Blissett put the home side in front with a powerful header from a corner in the first half but five minutes into the second half Cheadle were leading 2-1. First Leon Tailor’s cross was dropped by Nomads keeper Jack Gaskell and the ball crept over the line then almost immediately a long ball through the heart of the home defence should have been cleared but Mike Hooley again pounced on indecision by Gaskell and rounded the stricken keeper to give the visitors the lead. Nomads were shell shocked and with the wind against them, despite their endeavour they couldn’t muster the equaliser their play probably deserved.against their opponents, Old Alts East, but a ferociously strong gusting wind which played havoc with any ball played in the air. John Littlefair took advantage of hesitation in the Dendy defence to fire a curling shot past Matt Robinson to make it 1-0 to the visitors after only six minutes and twelve minutes later top scorer Nick Scholes ran clear down the left wing and then scored to make it 2-0 with an audacious chip over Robinson as he raced to the edge of his penalty box to avert the danger. Two goals to the good at half time away from home would ordinarily look like a potentially winning position but Alts were far from settled during their half time team talk feeling they hadn’t done enough to take full advantage of the wind in their favour. Their fears were justified.
There followed an astonishing six minutes that saw Dendy score three times , two from Matt Morris and an extraordinary goal from full back Gareth Worrall whose punt up field from midway inside his own half somehow found its way past keeper Rob Richards and into the net via a deflection and a huge gust of wind. Midfielder Steve Rowlands made it 4-2 after turning sharply and sliding the ball under Richards despairing dive and on sixty six minutes Morris completed his hat-trick with a trademark finish to make it 5-2. Old Alts new signing and substitute Danny Davies made it 5-3 from the penalty spot but Steve Rowlands rounded off a quite tremendous second half display scoring Dendy’s sixth.
