Away v Medlock Rangers

Result - Reddish North End 2 Medlock Rangers 1

Team coach (James) views on the game:

Brilliant first win of the season, especially after last week.  There was a lot of confusion over the status of this game as our appointed ref didn’t turn up and the Medlock coach was unwilling to play given that both sides had a lot to play for. In the end we agreed to play a friendly and one of his teenagers reffed the game. However he admitted to me at half-time he’d never reffed before, and it showed, denying us one penalty and two other blatant free kicks after pushes and shoves by Medlock players, and allowing their goal to stand despite the player being several yards offside (he even let us restart with a free kick in our box before picking the ball up and putting back on the centre spot!) Jake and Jamie scored in the end, and several other great performances cheered everyone up. The league later ruled that the result would stand as a league game.
