CREWE FC 6 BOLLINGTON 2

AFTER weeks sat on the sidelines Crewe FC finally played a competitive match and what a result.

They handed out a footballing lesson to Bollington beating them 6-2 in the first round of the Cheshire Cup.

Adam Vickers and Dave Hanson were the heroes scoring two apiece.

Vickers got things started with a 25-yard scorcher and Hanson made it 2-0 at half time.

Vickers chased and finished a through ball from Graham Taylor and Hanson finished well to bring it up to 4-0 after the break.

Crewe were dominant and John Beresford put in the cross for Taylor to add the fifth.

At the 70 minutes mark Bollington hit back with a good goal worked from a free kick before Andy Lock hit back a minute later.

A late goal gave Bollington something to cheer as Crewe moved into the next round and a home fixture against West Cheshire League outfit Stork.

"For 70 minutes we were outstanding, but the last 20 we switched off, which is what can happen with a score like that," commented Manager Ian O'Reilly.

The reserves also put in an excellent performance notching up a 3-1 win against Winnington Park with John Scarlett getting a brace.

On Saturday first team manager Ian O'Reilly has no new injury worries going into a home fixture with top of the league Poynton.

Kick off is at 2.15pm on Saturday.
