Reserves win last game
United Reserves 2-0 Sunderland
Reserve League North at Moss Lane, Altrincham; attendance 462
It's not the last game for the Reserves as they have a two cup finals coming up - Manchester Senior Cup, and the Lancashire FA Senior Cup but it was the last league game and a last visit to Altrincham's ground this season.
The Biffa herself wanted to come along. Tempted by seeing Ole coaching from the touchline, and a trip to Barney's Fish & Chip shop across the road. We sit in the main stand eating our fried delights covered in ketchup and watch the young United side clap the champions Sunderland on to the pitch.
The game is played at the usual racing speed. There are no goals in the first half but United have more chances on goal but it's not exciting. Possebon had to retire from play after only 15 minutes. Second half we walk around to the Sunderland goal to stretch our legs and work off all the chips we've eaten. Very few attacks but one of them results in a penalty and Lee Martin slammed it into the top right corner.
Just as I'm thinking of the tram home or should we stay for the added time there is a great goal by Matt James. One of those turn and shoot it up into nets efforts. We walk a slightly different route to Altrincham metro station down Mayor's Road past the park with swans settling down for the night by the pond. We've been to footie, home for 2135h and the world hasn't noticed.
Game 67 this season; admission and teamsheet free, tram fare £2.90, cheese and onion pie with chips £2.50.
