Match report by Kevin Lofthouse.
Today saw the visit of bottom of the league Cheadle and Gatley, they were under strength this week but were still able to field a side.
With High Lane feeling confident from the start they were able to camp in the Cheadle and Gatley half although on a couple of occasions Joe in nets had to deal with potential chances, with the opportunity again for players not regularly in the starting line Jack in at right back deservedly won Man of the Match with Alex Aldcroft the other candidate, doing what we try to drum into all our players, (simple passing) this gives the platform for our skilful individuals to create goal scoring chances, which they did. Dan Johnson opened the scoring followed by a scrambled finish from Matt after a short corner routine came off, next was a sublime chip from Milo and a second from Dan J. 4-0 at half-time.
With lots of multiple substitutions during the game each time fresh legs came on we looked stronger and when George picked up the ball in his own half running the length of the pitch to score number five, the contest was over, but not until Myles and Alex G (2) got in on the scoring. Cheadle and Gatley kept up their effort and were rewarded with a well taken finish from the edge of the box, after having one ruled out for the ball being a metre out of play earlier in the move, which resulted in a throw in.
Once again great support from both camps and an excellent refereeing display, first class!
