Manchester League, Division Two
Middleton Colts 3 Avro reserves 1 (att 10)
Middleton Colts are new to the Manchester League, and to adult Saturday football I think, this season. They've made a good start though, and underlined their credentials by seeing off a strong Avro side.
It was a fast-paced and at times feisty match, with both teams playing some good football that wouldn't have out of place at a higher level.
Middleton Colts, kitted out like a team inspired by Dennis the Menace, shaded the first half and just about deserved their narrow 1-0 half time advantage.
They made sure of all three points when they scored twice more in the second half. Avro managed a late consolation, but by then there was too little time left to threaten a comeback.
The action took place on a 3G pitch at Hopwood Hall College, on the outskirts of Middleton. I'd checked the venue carefully before going to the game, having already watched football on three different grass pitches at the sprawling site.
