Radcliffe Borough 0 - 4 Mossley

Here we are, eight days and three games into 2011 and Mossley are still yet to drop a point.

It may be a statistic that possibly won’t have a shelf life beyond the impending midweek trip to title chasing Chorley but it’s impressive all the same considering it’s not something the Lilywhites have a habit of doing at the start of a new calendar year. 2005 being the last time in case you were wondering, which you probably weren’t.

After confining their goal scoring in the previous game against Clitheroe to the first half, the Lilywhites had a bit of change and ran in all four goals scored in this match during the second period. Michael Fish opened the day’s account with a penalty, Matty Kay added a second and in the final minute both Danny Egan (for once shaking off the ‘unlucky’ tag that usually prefixes his name during matches) and Kristian Dennis grabbed a goal apiece; the latter with another strike from long range which is fast becoming his trademark. So much so that his goals against Clitheroe from around the penalty spot are looking like his equivalent of a tap in.

As you’ve probably guessed by now I wasn’t at the match so if you wish to read a fuller account of what went on at Stainton Park on Saturday then I suggest clicking here or here if you want a view from the other side. If you don’t then you could always click somewhere else. Here’s as good a place as any.
