Old Boys #5

So, in the past week this is what our old boys did on the pitch...

On Saturday:

In the FA Cup, Danny White scored an equaliser for Radcliffe Borough in their 1-1 draw with Athertin Colls. Radcliffe then went on to win the replay 2-1 at Stainton Park.

Scott Metcalfe netted with his first touch as a Warrington Town player, with a first minute strike in their 5-0 home thrashing of Winsford United.

Gavin Salmon netted the first for Joey Dunn's Runcorn Linnets in their 3-1 away triumph over Ossett Albion.

Matt Warburton continued his fine run of form this season with Curzon Ashton's first as they progressed to the First Qualifying Round with a 4-0 win over Ashton Athletic at The Tameside Stadium, and Nathan McDonald was another to net an opener, in a 3-0 away win for Alsager Town over St. Helen's Town.

In the NWCFL, First Division, Steve Craine also continued a good spell of form for 1874 Northwich by scoring their second in their 3-1 away win over Atherton LR.

And lastly in this division, Leonard 'Rico' Richards scored the first for Northwich Flixton Villa in their entertaining 4-4 draw with Ashton Town.

In the Evo-Stik League Premier, Kayde Coppin netted the second for Ashton United to grab them a point at Danny Johnson's Nantwich Town.

And Harry Winter also found the onion bag during AFC Fylde's 6-1 mauling of Worksop Town.

Over the Bank Holiday Monday, this happened:

Mossley and Curzon Ashton's Tameside derby saw 4 of the 5 goals netted by Old Boys. Matt Warburton scored all of Curzon's three goals to seal the match ball, rendering Kevin McGrath's effort a mere consolation.

Jamie Baguley netted for New Mills during their 2-0 victory at Church Lane over Ossett Town.

On Tuesday 28th August in the NWCFL, Gavin Salmon scored again for Runcorn Linnets in their 4-2 win over Alsager Town, and Chris Mackay netted from the spot for Prestwich Heys, but then went on to miss a late one to win the game vs Hindsford, which proved costly as Hindsford grabbed a winner to run out 4-3 victors at Heys' Grimshaw Park.

Movements over the past week include Rob Flint registering with Alsager Town on dual registration with Droylsden after he left Salford City. Scott Metcalfe left New Mills after just a couple of weeks for Warrington Town.
