Great Moor B 4, Inter Cheadle 6

Stockport Metro League Division One, Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Inter finally rediscovered their true form in a typical battling comeback to take the points at Great Moor.

On a bog of a pitch, Cheadle got off to the best possible start when a brilliant corner from Josh was met with a powerful header from John S in the second minute.

Great Moor threatened through the middle and were often thwarted by the mud but their breakthrough came midway through the half when they finished a slick move well to level the scores.

Almost immediately, brilliant play from the back by Brandon and John S saw 'The Dog' grab his second with a brave finish to make it 2-1, But back came the hosts and shortly before half time another good move through the middle allowed them to equalise, leaving the teams level at half time.

The second half started with Inter on the back foot and within five minutes they found themselves behind for the first time in the match.

Five minutes later it got worse as a calm finish from the Great Moor forward looked to have sealed the win at 4-2.

The game was now being watched by quite a crowd as New Mills players arrived, waiting for their match with Great Moor A straight afterwards, and what came next will have been a familiar sight for them as they witnessed the Inter fightback.

John S grabbed his hat-trick goal almost straight from the restart to make it 3-4, and with a reshuffled central midfield of Tom P and Dane, Cheadle were suddenly dictating the game. With Liam and Dan bossing the left hand side and Tom R, Paul and Joe looking solid at the back, Kay was tracking back superbly to help out the midfield and there only looked like being one winner.

Sure enough the equaliser came when John S scored his fourth of the game, a neat finish from a Tom P throughball and when Danny was put through in similar fashion to finish sweetly the points were in the bag.

Great Moor made a spirited fight to grab a leveller but found the might of Kyle to stop virtually everything and clear the danger. In goal, Flynn's superb kicking and anticipation to clear danger was also relieving the pressure and when John S bravely slid in to score his fifth and Cheadle's sixth with the last kick of the game it was no more than the boys deserved.

Next week Prestbury visit and we're hoping for more of the same to avenge that unlucky 2-4 opening day reverse and start climbing the table.
