| THE 1874 DEFENDERS GET IN SOME HEADING PRACTICE BEFORE THE MATCH. 1874 IS NOT THE SUM TOTAL OF THEIR AGES. IT'S MORE THAN THAT... |
 |
| THERE REALLY IS SOME METHOD IN THIS SNAPSHOT OF NORTHWICH'S WARM-UP... |
 |
| THIS FINE LEAPING SAVE BY SUB GOALIE SHORTHOUSE IN THE WARM-UP WAS WEIRDLY SIMILAR TO STARTING 'KEEPER ATKINSON'S ONLY DIFFICULT SAVE DURING THE GAME. SAME END, TOO... |
 |
| BOTH OF THESE CHAPS HAVE DEGREES FROM THE JOHN CLEESE UNIVERSITY OF SILLY WALKS... |
 |
| ONE ASSISTANT HELPFULLY DUSTS THE BALL BEFORE KICK-OFF... |
 |
| MCGRATH STARTS THE MATCH... |
 |
| ...EVENTUALLY... |
 |
| SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT TO SPOIL HIS HAIR IN THE FINE RAIN AT THE START OF THE TIE... |
 |
| COLLINS (9) BECAME LET'S SAY 'UNPOPULAR' WITH THE NORTHWICH PLAYERS & SUPPORTERS. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, HE 'PUT HIMSELF ABOUT'... |
 |
| COPPACK (10) HAS ACTUALLY JUST CLASHED WITH COLLINS, WHO GETS A BISCUIT AND A SWIG OF BRANDY FROM HIS PHYSIO... (ER, NOT REALLY...) |
 |
| THE BALL WAS IN THE AIR A LOT... |
 |
| HARKIN (10) WOULD SLIP A GOOD CHANCE WIDE AFTER THE INTERVAL... |
 |
| THE ATHERSTONE COACHES LOOK A LITTLE ANXIOUS ABOUT THEIR TEAM'S QUIET START... |
 |
| COPPACK GETS A TALKING TO, WHILST GUDGER POINTS TO ANOTHER MAUVE SHIRT HE MIGHT GRAB LATER... |
 |
| WEAVER (LEFT) TAKES IN A LITTLE BELLY SUNSHINE, AS COPPACK IS AGAIN IN CONVERSATION WITH THE REFEREE... |
 |
| HANDS-ON-HIPS: THE WAITING POSE... |
 |
| WEAVER ASTONISHES OTHER PLAYERS BY GROWING A BALL FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD... |
 |
| ATKINSON, RIGHT, DARES HARKIN TO HARASS HIM... |
 |
| ATKINSON HAS BEEN FOULED BUT MORRIS HAS TAKEN PUNISHMENT TOO... |
 |
| THE ADDERS ATTACK FROM A CORNER... |
 |
| MR BURR SENIOR JOGS ACROSS THE PITCH READY FOR THE SECOND PERIOD... |
 |
| THE SECOND-HALF HAD TO BE MORE INTERESTING FOR THE LARGE CROWD... |
 |
| VISITING SKIPPER FENTON LIES HURT. HE CARRIED ON, BUT NOT FOR LONG... |
 |
| ROWE (5) GETS IN YET ANOTHER DEFENSIVE HEADER FOR THE ADDERS... |
 |
| JONES (MARK, NOT JOEL), SECOND FROM RIGHT, WAS SUPERB IN DEFENCE FOR THE GREENS (IN VIOLET)... |
 |
| BEFORE FENTON WAS REPLACED, HIS LONG THROWS WERE OFTEN A THREAT... |
 |
| THE MOMENT FENTON KNEW HE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CONTEST... |
 |
| WEAVER & BAILEY WORKED HARD FOR 1874, WITHOUT MUCH REAL SERVICE... |
 |
| 0-1... |
 |
| REPLACEMENT MATT WOOLLEY, WEARING FENTON'S CAPTAIN'S ARMBAND, HAS JUST NODDED IN THE WINNING GOAL, WELL INTO THE 10 MINUTES OF ADDED TIME... |
 |
| GAME OVER... |
 |
| MARK JONES & WOOLLEY CELEBRATE... |
 |
| MORRIS & MCGRATH LEAVE THE PITCH... |
 |
| STEVE BURR, RIGHT, LOOKS THOUGHTFUL... |
