Pre-game...
 |
| UNIQUE EXPRESSION FROM STEVE BURR, WHO APPRECIATES THE NORTHWICH FOLLOWERS... |
 |
| IS BENNET ABOUT TO BE TEMPTED BY THE TARGET? |
 |
| FENTON & BENNETT PREPARE TO TOSS... |
 |
| 1874 ENJOYING THEIR BIG DAY OUT... |
 |
| THE GAME HAD BEEN DELAYED FOR OVER 15 MINUTES, DUE TO QUEUES AT THE ENTRANCE, SO BOTH SETS OF PLAYERS WERE SENT OUT TO KEEP WARM... |
 |
| FINALLY READY FOR THE HANDSHAKES... |
 |
| THE TEAMS ENTER... |
 |
| BAILEY LOOKS READY... |
 |
| JONES & MORRIS WERE TESTED BY THE MOVEMENT OF FITZGERALD & THE WILY PLAY OF JARMAN... |
 |
| THE 1874 DEFENSIVE LINE OF OSBORNE, FENTON, JONES & MORRIS... |
 |
| FENTON FLICKS HIS HEAD AWAY FROM AN IMAGINARY FACE-SLAP... |
 |
| THE 1874 MANAGEMENT TEAM... |
 |
| ATKINSON: A SUPERB FIRST-MINUTE SAVE FROM FITZGERALD... |
 |
| ATKINSON WAS ACTUALLY QUITE QUIET WHILST WARMING UP... |
 |
| THE SHIFNAL GOALIES WARM UP TOO... |
 |
| DUE TO SOME PLAYERS' FITNESS PROBLEMS, 1874'S OTHER 'KEEPER SHORTHOUSE WASN'T NAMED AS A SUBSTITUTE, AS FIVE OUTFIELDERS HAD BEEN CHOSEN INSTEAD. A SHAME FOR HIM... |
 |
| THE GOOD HUMOUR DIDN'T LAST LONG... |
 |
| SERIOUS STUFF, THESE PLAY-OFFS... |
The game...  |
| BOOD (7) HAS JUST NETTED THE SECOND SHIFNAL GOAL... |
 |
| COPPACK'S FALL INJURED THE MIDFIELDER'S BACK & HE WAS DULY STRETCHERED OFF THE FIELD... |
 |
| GOALIE WYCHERLEY CLEARLY DOESN'T LIKE JOEL JONES MUCH... |
 |
| ...YEP, THAT IS CONFIRMED... |
 |
| ATKINSON PUSHES ASIDE A SHOT BY BYRNE... |
 |
| FENTON LEAPS HIGH BUT HIS HEADER WOULD FLY OFF TARGET... |
 |
| MORRIS' HEADER DRIFTS OFF TARGET TOO... |
 |
| ATKINSON PUNCHES THE BALL TO SAFETY... |
 |
| BYRNE THREATENS & ATKINSON DOES WELL TO AVOID MAKING CONTACT... |
 |
| BAILEY THREATENS AT THE LEFT POST... |
 |
| A FINE REACTION SAVE BY ATKINSON... |
 |
| ...FROM FITZGERALD'S FIRST MINUTE DRIVE... |
 |
| ANOTHER 1874 SET-PIECE, ANOTHER CHAOTIC PENALTY-BOX... |
 |
| JOEL JONES & BOOD ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT... |
 |
| WYCHERLEY WAS ATTENDED TO SEVERAL TIMES. KICKED THE BALL VERY WELL, HOWEVER... |
 |
| SUBSTITUTED PANTOMIME VILLAIN FITZGERALD IS SHOWN TO THE NEARER TOUCHLINE, AFTER ATTEMPTING TO WALK TO THE FURTHER TOUCHLINE. THAT TIME WASTED WAS LIKELY NOT ADDED ON IN FULL... |
 |
| FENTON'S FALL... |
 |
| THE REFEREE HAD A TOUGH AFTERNOON TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH WRITHING PLAYERS WERE GENUINELY HURT. (COPPACK CERTAINLY WAS...) |
 |
| FITZGERALD HAS NETTED AN EARLY PENALTY... |
 |
| NICE HAT IN THE BACKGROUND... |
 |
| ANOTHER CASUALTY, MORE TIME WASTED... |
 |
| THE FITZGERALD GOAL CELEBRATION, PART TWO... |
 |
| MORE THAN TWO IS CERTAINLY A CROWD... |
 |
| JONES POINTS, FITZGERALD WAITS... |
 |
| MORRIS DOES THE MARKING THIS TIME... |
 |
| THE SKIPPER SURE FINDS A WEIRD TIME TO NEED A PEE... |
 |
| CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROMOTION, SHIFNAL! |
