Darwenian Animosity - weekend matchgoing thread
My original plan had been going up to Barrow to watch Barrow Celtic. However with it being wet overnight I decided not to risk it and headed to Manchester instead (as it turned out Barrow Celtic's match was off although there were some other games on around there).
I eventually settled on Chadderton Park v Tintwistle Athletic in the Rhodes Cup, which is the league cup for the Lancashire & Cheshire League. On paper this should have been an easy win for the visitors (who are not from either Lancashire or Cheshire but instead come from Derbyshire), lying mid table in the Premier Division whilst the hosts are down towards the bottom of Division Three. However Tintwistle had a real off day and struggled to link up their midfield and forwards. Eventually they got what turned out to be the only goal on the hour, but only a goal line clearance prevented the hosts equalising in stoppage time.
