Topic: The Chorley and Leiston Thread

Harrow Borough 0 - 0 Leiston. still a point away from home is good?

AFC Telford 2 - 0 Chorley

Chorley 2 - 0 Boston United    Att. 834

Didn't go today as I had family matters to attend to.  Apparently Chorley played well against a team who started the day just outside the play-off places.  Now only six points off the play-offs ourselves.  Can we do it?  Nah, too inconsistent at the moment.

Grays Athletic 0 Blues 2

Latest run of form continues at Grays Athletic

A goal at the end of either half earned the Blues a first ever away win against Grays Athletic. Man of the Match Gareth Heath opened the scoring with a classy finish while substitute Jake Taylor scored his first League goal of the season in the final minute to seal the victory.

Just outside the play off again.

Lancashire FA Trophy Final:

Chorley 2 - 2 Lancaster City

Chorley won 3-1 on penalties.

I don't like penalty shoot outs, but I have to hand it to Chorley goalie, Sam Ashton, he must be the world's best at stopping the ball from 12 yards.  In the last three penalty shoot outs we have faced, he has let in just two!  Last night he saved the first three and only had to face four because Chorley missed the first!

Four times in the last five seasons and a record seventeen times we have won this competition.  It's true to say that Chorley are the biggest club in the competition and some folk think that we shouldn't enter.  I wonder if those same folk were saying that when Wigan Athletic were non league and the biggest club in the competition, but we beat them almost every season in it?  Shouldn't the smaller Lancashire clubs get the chance for their moment of glory like we used to when Wigan were in it?

Chorley 2 - 0 Curzon Ashton    Att. 823

Have a trapped nerve in my lower back, so only lasted until half time.  However, I did see both goals and Chorley dominate for 45 minutes against a surprisingly poor Curzon side.

Ouch, I know how painful that is, Dave.  Get to an osteopath.  It might cost you a few quid, but he should be able to fix that in one or two visits, and it's well worth the expense to be free of that pain.

[chorleydave]

Thanks, Simon.  I think an osteopath is coming to work on Thursday as part of a push to show that the place has the interest of the welfare of its staff at its heart.  (Do I sound cynical?)  I might just pay them a visit.

2 matches to report on?

Harrow Borough 0 -2 Leiston

Leiston 1 - 2 Tonbridge Angels

Typical end of season football with the squad void of players either due to suspensions or Injury or unavailability. only the Suffolk County Final to look forward to.

[TR]

Burgess Hill 1 - 1 Leiston. any point away from home is good. especially after a 9 hour round journey 

[chorleydave]

Time to do some catching up:

Today - Monday 28 March:

Chorley 0 - 0 Stalybridge Celtic   Att. 867 


Saturday 26 March:

FC United of Manchester 2 - 0 Chorley   Att. 4150


Wednesday 23 March:

[TR]

Leiston 1 -1 Billericay ...typical end of season game. 

[TR]

Well that's our play off hopes well and truly scuppered as another 2 pints dropped after our 3rd game on the trot that's ended in a draw? no chance now of catching them up.

Staines 2 -2 Leiston.

[chorleydave]

Tamworth 2 - 1 Chorley

One point from the last twelve!  Incredibly, because results keep going our way, we can still mathematically make the play-offs - but I hope we don't because this team is nowhere near good enough for the National League Premier.

[TR]

Lesiton 1 (8th) v 1 Dulwich (5th) fair result...plus we got drenched
