Gamesley’s
first team got off to a cracking start for this year’s league campaign with a 5
– 1 win at home to Denton Town FC.
A brilliant
first half was set off by Tom Briggs who opened the scoring after 10 minutes;
this was then followed on the half hour by a neatly put away penalty taken by
Simon Yates, with Mitch Salthouse finishing off the first half scoring by
making it 3 nill after 40 minutes.
The second
half started off a less polished affair with the summer seeming to show through
in terms of fitness, with Gamesley’s goalkeeper Leon Telford being called on
several occasions to stop breaks from Denton Town.
After 64
minutes one of Gamesley’s players was brought down in the area, and Michael
Dewhurst
got his first goal of the season from the resulting penalty. Gamesley’s last
goal came after 87 minutes with a cracking strike from near the corner post by
Shaun Chapman.
A lapse in
concentration followed with Denton
Town’s Aaron Kirk getting
a consolation goal in the 90th minute.
Gamesley’s
reserves sadly didn’t join the party, with a second league defeat following
Thursday’s 3 – 1 defeat to Linotype Cheadle HN Reserves, losing 1 – 0 to Grappenhall
Sports Reserves.
This coming
week sees Gamesley’s first team with a home tie on Wednesday (17/8) to Styal –
kick off 6.30pm, followed by the reserves with a home tie on Thursday (18/8) at
6.30pm to Styal Reserves.
Saturday
(20/8) sees the first team away to Eagle Sports with the reserves at home to Pilkington
Reserves – kick off 3.00pm
