ANOTHER WASHOUT AT HEYS ROAD

A failed morning pitch inspection at Heys Road put paid to Prestwich’s Lancashire Amateur League Premier Division match against Howe Bridge Mills on Saturday.

The continued wet weather also meant more postponements for Prestwich Reserves trip to play Rossendale Amateurs B and Prestwich A Team’s home game against Radcliffe Boys Reserves at Drinkwater Park. Prestwich’s Sunday Team game against Crown was also called off the following day.

But some of the Saturday team lads still managed a run out as the First Team played the Reserves on the 3G surface at Our Lady’s in Blackley.

Michael Hoggard’s early opener gave the Reserves the lead before Martin Hill’s strike two minutes later brought the Firsts back level.

Two further goals from Danny Jones and Kieran Doherty gave the rampant Reserves a 3-1 advantage after just 15 minutes.

But Ashley Hoolighan pulled one back on the half hour before Lee Bushell fired the First Team level ten minutes after the restart.

Hoolighan completed the turnaround mid-way through the half to give Craig Howarth’s team a 4-3 win.

• Next Saturday Prestwich travel to Chew Moor Brook, Prestwich Reserves are at home against Oldham Hulmeians Reserves while Prestwich A are away at Rossendale Amateurs C. Prestwich Sunday team entertain Huntley Mount the following day at Heys Road.
