Irlam FC took on AFC Liverpool at Valarie Park on Saturday. Irlam dominated the first 30 minutes but only had one goal to show for it. Liverpool took control in the 2nd half but good defence and MOM display from Irlam keeper kept Liverpool out. Irlam scored a second on the counter but Liverpool pulled one back 1 minute later to set up a nervous last 20 minutes. Irlam held on though and took the three points. There was a bit of banter with the AFC Liverpool crowd, who were quite vocal but very small in number due to "big" Liverpool playing.
Salford City play at the same ground this Saturday against Prescot Cables and the pitch is an absolute state.
Irlam's next game is away to Norton United in the 2nd round of the Division 1 Trophy.
Salford City fell to a disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Bamber Bridge this afternoon. A spectacular goal from Tommy Turner had given the Ammies a first half lead but defensive frailties and a strangely muted second half performance saw the visitors grab two goals and all three points.
It's back to league action this Wednesday 16th February, kick off 7;45pm with the eagerly awaited trip to Trafford's Shawe View ground.
To gutted/depressed to post after Salford City's 2-1 defeat at Trafford last night. Played well in patches, had two shots cleared off the line and Steve Foster missed a penalty and an open goal at the death which would have given us a point. That's 5 single goal margin defeats in the last 7 games which in my opinion have to all intents and purposes ended our play off hopes.
This coming Saturday it's next to bottom side Ossett Albion at home and hopefully a good opportunity to get back to winning ways.
Salford City returned to winning ways at Moor Lane this afternoon win a 1-0 win over struggling Ossett Albion courtesy of a late Steve Foster penalty. The final scoreline failed to underline the Ammies overall superiority over relatively poor opposition but justice was eventually seen to be done. Next up is another home game this coming Tuesday, 22nd February, ko 7:45 pm when Warrington Town are the visitors.
