Snaps From The Edge – Sunday March 22nd 2009

Not impressed at all with the new fences put up by the Cricket Club, they seem far too close to the pitches. No doubt the Council have given the matter their usual consideration though…

On Pitch 2 West Coast overcame Mythop Leisure 2-0, even with superstar John Emery taking his turn as substitute and liner this morning.

Not much was getting past Ashall or Bromley

West Coast go close

Ian Rose just about to blow

Ref Society guidelines… 'When giving a card, always look at the camera…' Bromley on the wrong side of Rose after getting the wrong side of an opponent and bringing him down.

From the free kick, Andy Gouck hits the bar.

Halfway score

Liner Glenn Rogerson managing to keep up with play

Vets Lee Miles and Keith Johnstone still can't find a way past

10 minutes left an 3-2 up, Halfway engage in a spot of time-wasting

A quick break though makes it 4-2
