Manchester Saturday Morning League, Division Two Championship
Boundary Park Juniors 2 Badger Casuals 4 (att 10)
Another Saturday when I needed to stay close to home began with a new venue in the Manchester Saturday Morning League.
Boundary Park Juniors only joined the league this season. They concentrate primarily on youth football and even this team, their most senior, is officially listed as their 'under 21' side.
They went into the game towards the wrong end of the table, and blew a great chance to gain much-needed points when they let a 2-0 lead slip.
Their advantage came courtesy of two goals in quick succession about midway through the first half. Badger Casuals, who'd started the game slowly, got one back before half time.
In the second period a mix up between goalkeeper and defender presented the visitors with an equaliser. That gave them the momentum they needed and a third goal soon followed. Late on a brilliant fourth goal, fired into the top corner from distance, rounded off their win.
Boundary Park Juniors play at Granby Street in Chadderton where there are two pitches. This was played on the one furthest from the car park, while the other was staging youth football.
