Get another match in
West Didsbury & Chorlton 2-0 Manchester Juniors
Manchester League Division 1; attendance about 23 plus pets
I don't set off for Old Trafford until 1615h so a chance to watch to fill the time with another match. It's easy. The pitch is over the road, nip through my friends garden, get a cup of tea in the clubhouse and stand about letting on to people.
The club started out as Christ Church FC 100 years ago, playing on a farmer's field in Didsbury. Now they have ambitions to be a successful community club in Chorlton. Recently spent £8,000 on drainage to the pitch turning a winter quagmire into a playable grass surface.
Like the look of Manchester Juniors, only because they play in red shirts and white shorts, where as Wests are in their white and black uniform. Both teams are doing a lot of shouting, and chances on goal are few so no score at half time. I nip back to the clubhouse and check the Hartlepool v. West Ham match on Tv.
Second half West Didsbury score on their first attack. They arn't making it easy for themselves but they do manage a second. Apparently not a full strength side with a few Reserves on the field and as subs. By this time I'm joined by the Biffa herself, the neighbour, the little lad and the friend from over the road. A cat appears on the banking near the corner flag which attracts a few small children. There is a collie dog knocking about, and the manager's dog is bobbing about looking for any food that's about.
It's soon all over, West Didsbury do their warm down bit which is a few laps of half the pitch. Manchester Juniors troop off talking about the crosses and passes that went astray. We drift off home for a sandwich and a trip to a seat in the Stretford End.
