    After a first 45 minutes best forgotten( the first half), County came back with a bang to dispose of Shrewsbury Town at the Salopians Croud Meadow home last night with second half goals by Jason Adigun and Che Gardner. Gardner was one of the star performers for the orange shirted blues – his goal( a real belter) was very well received by County`s travelling support who were here in decent numbers. A good result then, and one well worth making an effort to witness on a sometimes blizzard ridden Tuesday evening in October! Jimmy Mac will have come away from the game with loads to ponder positively….Gardner`s lively showing….Adigun`s deserved goal……and a very interesting late cameo from Bruno Cina who might have scored a couple late on with a modicum of good fortune. At the back, the County 3 of Dacres- Cogley, Jobe & Wilson- Brown looked assured, if against somewhat moderate opposition,   and the team generally played with an assurance that augers well for t...

Back after a couple of weeks away, my phone tells me its week 40 of the calendar year on Saturday and I have picked out the same week from 73 years ago to feature.   The week started with a Tuesday night draw at Prenton Park against Tranmere Rovers.           County trailed twice but each time gained an equaliser in this match which came just after we had beaten the same opponents 6-0 at Edgeley Park. Kenny McDevitt had put the Rovers in front but demon scorer Jack Connor levelled things up. Cyril Done restored the lead but Bob Murray notched our second to take home a point.           The teams on 29 th September were: Rovers: Harold Lloyd, Bill Lamont, Percy Steele, Ralph Millington, Harry Bell, Len Kieran, Kenny McDevitt, Bill Bainbridge, Cyril Done, Ray Williams and Mike Fleming County: Dennis Herod, Fred Kenny, Len Rowland, George Pilkington, Gordon Wilmott, Billy McCulloch, Chris Anderson, Bob Murray, Jack Conn...

          County did the biz, came away from today`s game with Posh without Lady Luck swinging her notoriously heavy fashion accessory in our direction, winning the game 1-0. But it was a struggle throughout , being forced by Interim Manager Ryan Harley`s team   to attack the Cheadle End first off should not have caused us more than an instants difficulty, but somehow County set about making hard work of the simplest of tasks – trading on good fortune ( for a change) as Peterborough, led exceedingly well by Harry Leonard   who was ably assisted by a clutch of eager team mates most notably Bolu Shofowoke, suffered the sort of disappointment teams in their current league position usually have to cope with. In the end ,all Peterborough`s effort and spirit came to nought as a second half goal , set up by M.O.M Kyron Gordon , and put away by master finisher Kyle Wootton won a game for County that at times looked about to be snatched from their grasp a...
