Errors in match reports: When Cables are attacking I am either focussing my camera to try to get a good action shot for the website or trying to stop my notebook and pen from falling on the floor! Not only that, but I have the world's worst memory for names and faces! With these factors to take into account it is inevitable that there will sometimes be mistakes in reports (e.g. the wrong player credited as having put in the cross that led to the goal). I email my reports to the non-league paper early Saturday evening (home matches only) then put them on the website and email them to the programme editor. If you spot a mistake it will probably be too late for the NLP, but if you email me I will correct any mistakes on the website version and arrange for the corrected version to be in the next match programme.

Prescot Cables gained a hard earned point in their Unibond Premier Division clash at Ashton United on New Year's Day. Prescot fell behind as early as the second minute when unmarked Ian Fitzpatrick fired Ashton ahead after Prescot's defence failed to clear a corner. Prescot then had a good shout for a penalty waved away as new signing Tommy Taylor's shot was clearly handled in the area by an Ashton defender.

Visiting keeper Richie Mottram kept Prescot in the game with two excellent saves from Ashton United corner kicks. The visitors weathered the home side's storm and started putting some neat passing moves together.On 30 minutes Prescot striker Eamonn Price was bundled over in the Ashton penalty area allowing penalty expert Tommy Moore to deservedly level the scores with a spot kick.

A minute into the second half a good move by Prescot Cables resulted in Ryan Wade hammering the visitors into the lead with a crisp far post finish from six yards. On 52 minutes the linesman awarded the home side a controversial penalty giving Ashton United's Billy McCartney the chance to equalise from the spot.

Late pressure from Prescot almost produced a last gasp winner as Karl Connolly headed inches over the Ashton bar and Tom Moore's shot was scrambled off the Ashton line.
