Gateshead 2 - 0 Mossley

In the final game of the season Mossley lost 2-0 to Gateshead at the International Athletic Stadium with both goals coming in the second half. And that's all of what I know about the game. I had intended to stretch the above out by inserting a report on Curzon's final league game of the season into it but after getting so incredibly peed off over the past week I really can't be bothered.

So if you're reading this in the hope of hearing about a) the NWCL Runners-up Shield being carried around pre-match in a carrier bag, b) the fact that there were more people on the pitch than in the stands for the presentation of the aforementioned shield prior to the kick-off, c) the distinct lack of irony as 'Simply The Best' and 'We Are The Champions' played over the P.A. system as the trophy handover took place, d) a superb attacking display by Newcastle's Ashley Miller which enabled the Staffordshire side to thump an understrength Curzon 5 - 1 or e) the hysterical own goal the home side scored in the last minute which even had Gary Lowe wetting himself in the dugout - I'm sorry.

I'll admit that as a way to end a season's worth of match reports on Mossley80 it's something of a damp squib but after what's happened in the previous eight and a half months it seems almost fitting as well.
