A perfect nightbfor football as AFC Blackpool took on Bacup Borough in a North West counties league division1 match at Jepson Way last night.
Arrived with the ground in total darkness apparently delayed kick off due to travel problems for the visitors, the lights were not on due tothe AFC chairman being a tight git so said the gateman.
AFC fresh from actually winning a game whilst the visitors were at the wrong end of the table after last season being beaten in the play off final. Promise to be a tough game for the home side.
The early stages were all Bacup's and they took the lead when from a cross Gervan in acres of space had the simple task of heading home from close range. The visitors threatened to run riot with two direct wingers Leather and Hall causing carnage. Leather seemed to have the pace of Usain Bolt with a bit of skill, he was hacked down in the area should have been a penalty wasn't given the referee must have been the only person in the ground who didn't think it was a penalty. Gervan chipped the keeper but hit the bar and they also had a goal disallowed.
From out of nowhere AFC full back back Dickson went on a mazy run his cross was perfect the header from a home forward was perfect but the save from Ashley was superb. It wasn't long before AFC levelled when Charnley netted from about 12 yards. It was ebb and tuck until half time as the sides departed for the break level.
Home managers team talk at half time was heard throught the clubhouse much to the amusement of those listening, his words work the oracle as soomn after the break Bacup retookthe lead, free kick for the right Garven in acres of space again simple header, goal.
Bacup dominated and on the hour made it it 3-1 the home defence was cut apart and Garven duly compoleted his hat trick hammering the ball into an empty net from about 1 yard.
Game over not quite within a minute Charnley had reduced the arrears with a blitzer of a shot from the edge of the box following great work by Stephens. The home side were back in this Charnley being the main danger narrowly missing with a free kick, but chances for the home side were not often and the visitors were holding on without too much alarm until a free kick near the end when Charnley's free kick curled in towards the goal it might of got a touch on the way through but Ashley again pulled off a worldie stop to deny the goal.
Decent game AFC improving but just need some experience in the side.
