BOLLINGTON UNITED 1996-2004
|
The concept of playing challenge games in local stadia emerged during the first season, when the opportunity to play a game at Moss Rose, Macclefield, arose. For subsequent seasons, fixtures were played not just in Cheshire, but in Derbyshire and Staffordshire. As with the European tours, Bollington maintained a 100% record throughout. Details of each stadium match are given below.

COMMENT Totally one sided game, but with Egerton scoring from
their only attack of first half. Bollington’s dominance and superiority marred
by very poor finishing, with countless chances missed. However, a very classy
performance with many passing moves.

Well contested game, with Burbage lacking the power to
make their good spells count.
