Crewe and District League, Premier Division
Cuddington 2 Rudheath Social reserves 1 (att 28)
A win which keeps Cuddington on track to win the league, provided they can get a result away to fellow challengers Winnington Avenue in what is now effectively a title decider on Wednesday night.
They had to be patient tonight, but then so did everyone as the game kick off 45 minutes late due to the referee not turning up. I don't know the reasons why he failed to show, but at least his replacement was ready to start the game almost immediately he arrived, and on a clear night there were no problems playing a full 90 minutes.
Unlike Cuddington, Rudheath's second team had nothing to play for, although you'd never have guessed that from their very committed performance. They were unfortunate to find themselves 2-0 down at half time, and deserved more than the one goal they got back in the second period.
Cuddington have apparently applied for promotion to the Cheshire League for next season, which probably means they'll just have to put a rope around the pitch as everything else appears to be in place.
The changing rooms are housed in a modern building behind goal and next to a car park, and the club even provided a temporary dugout, albeit only for themselves, the visitors having to make do with some chairs.
Overall I was impressed with what was only my second ever Crewe League game. My last match in this league was seven years ago, but I shouldn't have to wait so long for the next one as I quite fancy seeing Cuddington's game at Winnington Avenue on Wednesday.
