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.

Saturday 23 February 2008

After nearly three months of waiting Prescot secured a Unibond Premier League success - ironically against the same opposition that provided Cables with their last league win on 24 November 2007. The Hope Street outfit had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock. An untidy free kick was resurrected by Mike O'Donnell who flicked the loose ball onto Eammon Price who took advantage of a flat-footed defence to blast home on 46 minutes. Prescot continued to force the pace with Colin Flood's free kick / shot skimming the top of the bar after Price was pulled back. Stamford was not totally out of the game. Captain Pritchard created an opportunity for himself and neatly chipped keeper Hibbert. The ball just eluded the crossbar. Elusive wing man Kirk beat two Cables defenders and provided Tiday with a chance that was cleared off the Prescot goal line. The points were secured in the 84th minute following a disastrous defensive clearance gifted debutant Liam Kennedy. He seemed to have squandered the opportunity with only the keeper to beat. He managed to locate an unmarked Price who chipped Samma and found the top corner.
