Back
to
our
Sunday
performances
today,
lethargic,
someone
else's
job
and
if
it
hadn't
been
for
a
few
that
dug
deep
we
would
have
come
away
with
nothing.
Thanks
to
those
who
did
work
tirelessly
we
twice
came
from
behind
with
strikes
from
Jonny
Oates
then
a
great
Dan
Ball
through
ball
was
pounced
on
by
Jonny
Oates
who
finished
his
best
of
the
day
to
complete
his
hat
trick,
and
put
us
in
front
for
the
first
time
in
the

Home
to
Holmes
Chapel
U17/18
League
We
started
slowly
but
still
looked
better
than
our
last
game
despite
going
3-0
down
in
the
opening
14
minutes.
The
guts
we
had
shown
in
earlier
games
kicked
in
and
we
got
our
selves
back
in
to
the
game
firstly
from
the
spot
following
a
foul
on
Jonny
Oates
which
was
converted
by
Scott
Armstrong
and
then
a
great
worked
goal
and
class
finish
from
Dan
Ball.
By
half
time
we
were
3-2
down
and
in
charge
but
had
lost
Fitzy
to
injury.
Second
half
we
continued
where
we
left
off
and
created
some
great
chances
but
couldn't
level.
The
longer
the
game
went
the
more
confident
Holmes
Chapel
became
and
scored
a
4th
despite
the
heroics
of
stand
in
keeper
James
Withe
,
this
was
followed
by
two
chances
for
Wanderers
then
we
suffered
our
second
injury
of
the
day.
Final
score
5-2
in
favour
of
Holmes
Chapel.

a

Home

Stars
U17/18
League
Cup
semi
final
What
a
difference
from
the
15th
March,
today
the
"team"
were
completely
together
and
from
the
first
meant
business.
Our
first
half
performance
matched
anything
we
have
ever
produced.
Despite
some
tremendous
football
both
teams
were
denied
by
the
woodwork
and
some
good
saves.
Wanderers
had
the
edge
but
no
reward
for
the
effort.
Second
half
started
similar
but
Stars
began
to
get
more
into
the
game
having
changed
there
structure
and
took
the
lead
with
a
tremendous
goal.
Wanderers
were
not
going
to
give
up
this
week
though
and
a
great
battle
between
the
teams
followed,
a
string
of
good
save
from
the
Stars
keeper
and
timely
tackles
from
Tarporley
saw
the
time
tick
away.
With
5
minutes
to
go
Wanderers
took
the
risk
and
went
to
3
at
the
back
and
Fitzy
pushed
into
midfield.
Wanderers
looked
to
have
the
edge
in
terms
of
fitness
and
this
combination
paid
off
with
an
equaliser
from
Martin
Fitzsimons
on
88
minutes.
Extra
time
and
Wanderers
were
back
in
control
creating
the
better
of
the
chances
in
the
first
half
and
again
not
converting
it
to
goals.
The
second
half
of
extra
time
continued
in
the
same
vane
and
it
was
Scott
Armstrong
that
wriggled
his
way
through
to
finally
beat
the
inform
Stars
keeper.
With
1and
1/2
minutes
left
on
the
clock
a
serious
injury
to
a
Stars
player
held
up
the
game
for
25
minutes.
In
the
end
we
moved
pitch
to
see
out
the
clock,
Wanderers
were
switched
on
for
this
and
never
lost
a
ball
finally
winning
2-1.

this
was

what
I

are
capable
off.

Stars
The
first
half
this
week
was
a
very
tight
affair,
almost
all
the
play
in
midfield
with
both
defences
picking
up
the
bits,
the
main
threats
from
corners.
Second
half
started
similar
but
Stars
began
to
overrun
midfield
especially
on
there
left,
it
was
this
exploitation
and
failure
to
stick
at
the
midfield
task
that
resulted
in
2
goals.
Wanderers
changed
shape
to
combat
this
but
then
conceded
on
the
left,
final
score
3-0
to
Stars
Managers
comments:
A
disappointing
day,
and
while
mistakes
were
made
in
all
departments
the
most
disappointing
bit
of
all
was
we
got
on
each
others
backs,
we
do
not
do
this
in
any
circumstances
and
its
even
worse
if
you
are
trying
to
switch
the
blame
from
yourself
to
someone
else.
We
all
need
to
take
an
"Honest"
look
at
ourselves,
late
nights
and
drinking
do
effect
your
games,
and
I
could
list
almost
to
a
man
who
has
and
who
hasn't
so
don't
believe
its
unnoticed.
If
we
want
to
win
such
games
it
relies
on
the
players
performing
at
the
top
of
there
game.

Wanderers
today
started
the
game
very
strongly,
and
should
have
taken
the
lead
on
four
occasions
but
failed
to
do
so.
Wistaton
on

had
two
opportunities
and
scored
both.
Hard
working
Jonny

was
making
some
headway
but
we
were
unable
to
make
the
impact
we
needed.
Second

worked
hard
and
were

with

goal
when
a

Sunday
1st
March
2009
Home
to
Betley
Wanderers
today
started
a
game
for
the
1st
time
with
Scott
Armstrong
in
the
squad,
we
were
also
shy
on
our
keeper
and
a
defender
all
at
Wembley.
Wanderers
started
sprightly
playing
with
the
slight
slope
and
with
the
wind.
A
shot
from
the
left
hand
side
was
parried
by
the
Betley
keeper
directly
into
the
patch
of
Jonny
Oates,
who
side
footed
his
first
of
the
day.
The
second
came
from
a
good
free
kick
delivered
in
to
the
danger
area,
a
glancing
header
by
the
defender
under
pressure
found
its
way
into
the
net.
Betley
stuck
to
there
task
and
have
to
be
admired
for
there
resilience
but
were
unable
to
create
clear
chances.
James
Withe
as
stand
in
keeper
was
distributing
well
and
a
sharp
movement
down
the
left
side
sprung
Dan
Ball
who
finished
in
style.
Jonny
Oates
ended
the
1st
half
with
two
quick
goals
to
give
him
another
hat
trick.
Second
half
Wanderers
were
now
playing
with
3
at
the
back,
a
hard
working
Jamie
ball
filling
the
gap
and
also
doing
a
great
job
going
forward.
It
was
Jamie
Ball
on
one
of
his
runs
that
delivered
a
great
cross
that
was
met
by
Jonny
Storey
to
open
his
scoring
for
the
season,
when
Betley
just
looked
to
be
getting
into
the
game
two
great
saves
from
Bryan
Wright
who
was
the
keeper
for
the
second
half
and
a
few
very
timely
tackles
kept
them
at
bay,
Tarporleys
score
was
added
to
when
Fitzy
nodded
down
a
cross
that
the
keeper
got
a
hand
to
but
couldnt
hold
it
out.
The
game
was
rounded
up
with
a
solo
effort
from
Elliot
Crabtree
who
took
full
advantage
of
the
gap
created
by
a
Jamie
Ball
run,
final
score
8-0
in
favour
of
Wanderers

Away
to
Cheshire
Blades
Wistaston
In
form
opposition
today,
opening
5
minutes
Wanderers
looked
good
but
Wistaston
,
forced
there
way
into
the
game
and
were
causing
trouble
with
long
throws.
A
call
for
the
ball
being
out
fell
on
deaf
ears
and
Wanderers
were
punished.
Tarpoley
stuck
at
there
guns
and
a
good
cross
found
Barney
Huxtable
at
the
back
pots
which
he
finished
in
style
to
put
the
score
all
level.
This
is
how
the
score
remained
until
half
time.
Second
half
Wanderers
were
now
playing
with
a
bit
more
determination
and
limiting
the
throws
that
were
causing
so
much
trouble,
this
renewed
vigor
paid
dividends
and
another
good
cross
field
ball
was
found
by
Dan
Ball
who
put
us
ahead.
Wanderers
now
looked
comfortable
but
were
dealt
a
bitter
blow
when
the
ref
awarded
a
penalty
in
favour
of
Wistaton.
As
the
game
went
on
the
performance
from
both
sides
was
flat
and
options
were
limited
but
6
minutes
from
time
Wistaton
did
deliver
a
good
corner
that
found
its
way
into
the
net.
Against
a
normal
team
in
a
game
like
this
it
would
have
been
a
winner
but
Tarporley
wanted
something
out
of
this
and
a
formation
change
forced
an
error
which
found
James
Withe
who
dispatched
a
superb
shot
to
beat
the
keeper
and
level
the
score
at
3-3

Away
to
Betley
Today's
ref
didn't
show
so
the
Betley
manager
refereed
the
game.
Wanderers
started
well
and
showed
some
good
touches
but
initially
got
frustrated
at
not
being
able
to
break
down
the
Betley
side.
It
was
Jonny
Oates
who
broke
the
deadlock
and
once
the
second
and
third
had
been
added
by
Martin
Fitzsimmons
and
Jamie
Ball
then
Wanderers
were
in
control.
A
further
goal
from
Jonny
Oates
and
one
from
Barney
Hutable
put
us
5-
0
up.
Defensively
we
were
just
as
good
as
we
were
going
forward
and
we
restricted
Downeys
contribution
to
back
passes
and
picking
up
small
bits,
a
credit
to
midfield
and
defence.
Second
half
Wanderers
were
now
playing
with
the
slope
and
created
numerous
opportunities,
the
cross
bar
and
post
doing
its
share
once
again
but
we
did
score
another
3
with
goals
from
James

for

Away
to
Betley
League
Cup
1/4
final
A
game
that
on
paper
I
would
expect
to
win
but
you
never
can
tell.
Tarporley
started
sprightly
and
soon
notched
with
Dan
Ball
opening
the
scoring,
this
was
added
to
by
Jonny
oates,
Matt
Franks
and
four
from
Barney
Huxtable
to
give
us
a
7-0
lead
at
half
time.
Second
half
Wanderers
were
now
playing
uphill
against
a
more
focused
Betley
team
we
continued
creating
chances
but
only
scored
the
one
more
goal
this
was
from
Eliot
Crabtree,
The
Betley
keeper
did
produce
a
string
of
good
saves
but
the
star
of
the
half
was
the
Betely
goal
post
who
denied
the
team
no
fewer
than
6
times.

Away
to
Birkenhead
Youth
County
cup
1/4
final
A
tough
game
with
tough
conditions,
poor
pitch
and
strong
winds,
Wanderers
had
one
moment
of
weakness
in
the
opening
minutes
conceding
a
goal
but
an
outstanding
43
minutes
defending
meant
that
Birkenhead
failed
to
add
any
more.
Second
half
Wanderers
attacking
performance
picked
up
and
Barney

equilised
within

opening
5
minutes.
For
much
of
the
remaining
game
it
was
one
way
but
we
failed
to
capatilise
and
get
the
second
goal.
A

to
Macc
Boys
League
A
tough
game
today
against
table
toppers
Macc
Boys
on
a
pitch
that
didnt
suit
Wanderers.
Macc
started
strongly,
Wanderers
didn't
bother
and
no
surprise
to
find
themselves
a
couple
of
silly
goals
behind.
Macc
scored
a
third
from
a
great
strike
but
again
not
put
under
pressure.
At
3-0
down
we
did
start
to
try
and
work
our
way
back
into
it
and
had
the
best
two
chances
of
the
half.
Second
half
Wanderers
performance
picked
up
a
bit
but
the
formation
limited
our
opportunities
to
a
minimum,
Macc
were
also
limited
to
long
shots.
One
well
struck
free
kick
took
a
deflection
to

all

were

Away
to
Winnington
Avenue
County
Cup
Healthy
squad
reasonable
pitch
but
a
very
cold
day
and
an
early
start.
The
combination
didn't
fit
well
for
Wanderers
who
started
very
slowly
against
a
team
that
wasn't
used
to
loosing
and
still
undefeated
this
season.
Winnington
started
well
and
Wanderers
were
forced
to
defend
and
dig
deep
in
midfield.
Our
cause
wasn't
helped
when
we
lost
Chris
Stubbs
after
25
minutes
following
a
bad
tackle.
Despite
defending
resolutely
our
defence
was
breached
when
Winnington
were
awarded
a
penalty
for
hand
ball.
This
was
scored
and
we
found
ourselves
1-0
down.
This
goal
was
our
wake
up
call
and
we
started
to
show
what
we
could
do
and
created
a
few
opportunities
ourselves.
Second
half
Wanderers
performance
picked
up
a
bit
and
we
began
to
create
gaps
in
the
Winnington
defence,
increased
pressure
meant
more
corners
and
with
15
minutes
to
go
one
of
these
corners
dropped
to
Jamie
Ball
who
finished
in
style
t
put
the
game
all
square.
Wanderers
were
now
definitely
dominating
the
game
and
opening
up
Winnington
at
will.
Another
chance
dropped
to
Jamie
B
who
was
fouled
by
the
keeper,
a
definite
foul
but
perhaps
a
lucky
penalty
was
awarded,
this
was
duly
dispatched
by
Scott
Armstrong.
At
2-1
up
and
under
10
to
play
the
game
looked
to
be
over
but
the
ref
had
other
ideas
and
awarded
Winnington
there
second
penalty
for
which
parents
and
players
alike
still
don't
understand
why.
Winnington
scored
to
set
up
an
exiting
last
5
minutes.
Wanderers
went
closest
but
the
full
time
score
was
2-2.
Moving
into
extra
time
that
according
to
the
rues
should
have
been
10
minutes
each
way
the
ref
of
the
day
insisted
it
was
15
minutes
each
way.
During
the
1st
period
it
was
Tarporley
who
were
the
stronger
and
it
was
Jamie
Ball
who
scored
again
to
put
us
back
in
front
again.
Winnington
were
unable
to
create
anything
during
the
period
as
Wanderers
dominated.
In
the
second
period
Winnington
did
get
back
into
the
game
and
made
our
defence
work
hard,
but
the
best
chance
did
go
to
Tarporley.
Wanderers
managed
to
weather
the
storm
finishing
3-2
in
there
favour
and
booking
a
place
in
the
last
8
of
the
County
Cup,

furthest
a

Eagles

Back
to
14
fit
players
today,
weather
was
kind
but
pitch
difficult.
We
started
indifferently
and
struggled
with
the
distance
between
midfield
and
the
forwards
playing
on
one
side
and
long
balls.
However
despite
this
we
were
creating
chances
on
on
25
minutes
we
made
the
breakthrough
when
Jonny
Oates
netted
his
first
of
the
day,
5
minutes
later
he
added
a
second.
Matt

added
a
third
with

day,
Half

Second
half
a

resilient

business

it
was
Jonny
Oates
once
again
who
settled
us
down
with
his
third
and
best
goal
of
the
day.
James
Withe
also
did
his
bit
and
netted
twice
to
make
it
6
for
Wanderers.
The
other
end
was
not
without
incident
though,
a
series
of
last

and
two
fantastic
saves
kept

away

Away
to
Alsager
Town
U18
District
Cup
Today
we
went
one
better
with
the
squad
and
had
15
players
available.
Tarporley
started
well
against
a
big
Alsager
side
that
played
quite
direct
football.
It
was
Tarporley
who
took
the
lead
when
Jamie
Ball
pounced
on
a
through
ball
and
finished
in
style.
This
upset
the
rhythm
of
Alsager
and
we
had
a
few
half
opportunities
to
increase
the
lead.
I
t
was
however
Alsager
that
benefited
from
the
weather
and
conditions
to
level
following
a
long
ball.
Alsager
increased
there
lead
from
a
wind
assisted
looped
header
to
go
in
at
half
time
2-1
up.
Second
half
Wanderers
found
themselves
further
behind
but
we
were
not
giving
this
up
so
easy
and
when
a
ball
was
delivered
back
into
the
box
from
the
bye
line
it
was
James
Withe
who
met
it
and
put
the
score
to
-3-2.
Wanderers
were
now
fired
up
and
the
third
came
from
Matt
Franks
and
this
is
how
the
90
minutes
ended.
Extra
time
saw
Alsager
take
the
lead
again
but
Wanderers
replied
within
the
minute
with
Jonny
Oates
first
goal
of
the
campaign.
Moving
into
the
dying
minutes
of
the
1st
half
Alsager
were
awarded
a
free
kick
where
our
keeper
was
held
and
the
ball
found
the
net.
In
the
second
half
it
was
end
to
end
with
Tarporley
hitting
the
side
netting
and
being
denied
a
penalty
from
a
Barney
Huxtable
free
kick.
Alsager
also
had
opportunities
but
none
were
converted

score
5-4

Away
to
Cheshire
Blades
County
Cup
The
first
time
this
season
we
had
an
opportunity
to
play
3
subs.
Tarporley
started
well
and
were
restricting
Blades
to
long
shots
which
Downey
was
dealing
with
well.
It
looked
as
though
it
would
be
Wanderers
who
would
make
the
breakthrough
when
Elliot
Crabtree
got
on
the
end
of
a
good
piece
of
play
starting
with
Fitzy
on
the
left
side,
via
both
Jamie
and
Dan
Ball
but
he
was
denied
by
the
bar.
It
was
Blades
who
opened
up
the
scoring
against
the
run
of
play
from
a
corner.
Wanderers
stuck
at
there
job
and
slowly
created
better
and
better
chances
and
finally
we
weer
rewarded
when
Dan
Ball
got
on
the
end
of
a
cross
to
level
the
score
just
before
half
time
.
Second
half
Wanderers
found
themselves
in
charge
from
early
on
when
Jamie
Ball
pounced
on
to
the
end
of
Dan
ball
through
ball
to
put
us
in
front,
our
lead
was
added
to
by
Dan
and
a
fourth
was
provided
by
Elliot
Crabtree
direct
from
a
corner.
Blades
were
very
strong
in
the
last
10
minutes
and
pegged
us
back
in
our
own
half
making
it
difficult
for
our
defenders
but
we
did
manage
to
hold
on
thanks
to
some
good
saves
and
last

to

out
4-1

to

Town
(Friendly)
Wanderers
again
limited
due
to
injury
and
district
duty,
but
in
a
much
better
place
then
last
week.
Alsager
came
out
all
guns
blazing
pressing
down
the
left
hand
side
with
a
second
runner
through
the
middle.
As
a
whole
Wanderers
were
coping
but
on
the
back
foot
then
Alsager
opened
there
account.
Wanderers
were
not
for
giving
this
one
up
and
a
well
timed
run
from
Jamie
Ball
put
us
all
square,
Alsager
put
themselves
back
in
front
before
half
time.
Second
half
Wanderers
scored
one
of
the
finest
goals
amateur
football
will
see,
the
move
started
on
the
edge
of
our
own
box
and
what
followed
was
a
sequence
of
10
to
15
one/two
touch
passes
playing
through
the
whole
length
of
the
pitch
to
a
one
touch
cross
that
was
met
sweet
by
Dan
Ball
to
level
the
score
for
a
second
time.
Tarporley
then
took
the
lead
from
Dan
Ball
free
kick
that
was
met
by
Scott
A.
It
was
now
Alsagerthat
chased
the
game
and
managed
to
level
following
a
great
save
from
Downey
but
Wanderers
were
not
being
outdone
today
and
a
flick
from
Jonny
Oates
was
pounced
on
by
Jamie
Ball
for
his
second
of
the
day.
Some
resolute
defending
and
a
few
good
save
from

kept
Alsager
at
bay
for

to
see

of
taking
the
lead
from
a
Dan
Ball
strike.
Blades
equilised
from
a
dubious
penalty
and
later
in
the
half
found
themselves
in
front
from
a
deflected
interception.
Second
half
it
was
Wanderers
clearly
in
charge
creating
plenty
of
chances
but
struggling
to
find
the
net.
We
did
level
the
score
when
Scot
A
found
some
space
in
the
Blades
area.
We
were
then
denied
by
the
bar,
post
goal
line
clearances
and
a
multitude
of
scrabbled
clearances
but
could
add
no
more.
Completely
against
the
run
of
play
Blades
took
the
lead
pouncing
onto
a
short
back
pass.
Despite
total
dominance
in
the
game
we
came
away
with
nothing
going
down
3-2
on
the
day.
Managers
comments:
A
rare
occasion
when
as
manager
you
can
be
proud
of
your
team
and
have
lost.
Our
stretched
side
outplayed,
out
tackled
had
more
possesion,
more
flare
and
more
imagination
coming
second
only
on
goals.
Some
more
good
performances
today,
Chris
Adapting
well
at
the
back
along
side
Fitzy,
Scott
A
dominant
in
midfield
and
a
good
work
rate
from
Elliot
C
and
Dan
Ball.
Jamie
B
up
front
was
not
rewarded
for
his
efforts
on
this
day
but
if
we
continue
to
create
this
many
opportunities
then
one
day
the
result
will
be
big
in
our
favour

Sunday
28th
September
2008
Away
to
Willaston
White
Star
FC
League
Wanderers
finally
kicked
off
there
season and
soon
found
themselves
on
the
back
foot.
White
Star
had
come
out
of
the
blocks
quickly
and
looked
as
though
they
meant
business.
Wanderers
were
defending
well
and
limiting
Willaston
opportunities
despite
there
pressure.
As
the
game
developed
White
star
still
had
the
edge
of
the
1st
half
but
Tarporley
were
finding
a
few
chinks
in
there
Armour
and
created
a
couple
of
reasonable
opportunities
from
the
right
hand
side.
Second
half
it
was
Wanderers
who
took
charge
and
were
creating
the
better
of
the
chances
and
did
find
the
net
only
to
have
it
ruled
offside.
It
was
White
Star
who
opened
the
scoring
and
in
such
a
tight
game
may
well
have
thought
they
had
done
enough.
Tarporley
had
the
bit
between
their
teath
today
and
were
not
giving
this
one
up,
a
period
of
prolonged
pressure
resulted
in
a
handball
in
the
box
and
a
penalty
to
Tarporley.
Scott
Armstrong
converted
from
the
spot
t
open
his
and
Tarporley's
account
for
the
season.
Final
score
1-1.
Managers
comments:
A
very
fast
and
even
game,
not
a
lot
between
these
two
sides
but
some
quality
performances
for
us
to
build
on.
We
had
the
usual
quality
performances
from
Fitzy,
Ad
Williams
and
Sean
at
the
back
and
a
great
battling
performance
from
Scott
Armstrong
in
the
middle,
tireless
work
from
Jamie
Ball
upfront.
Injuries
to
Brian
Wright
and
Jonny
Storey
saw
us
introduce
Adam
Humberstone
and
Dan
Ball
both
who
produced
top
class
performances.
