First friendly

On Saturday we entertained Curzon Ashton at our vastly improved Surrey Street ground which looked fantastic in the afternoon sunshine.
Our improved facilities seemed to go down well with the supporters and the pie emporium looked busy throughout.
The result was not good but we can take some positives from our display.
In the first half i thought GNE played some really good football and at the very least matched our opponents.
We conceded some sloppy goals in the first half and it was these that gave the scoreline an inflated margin.
Curzon were the better team and i must say played some excellent stuff and scored a couple of belters,but we did very well in patches.
We must remember this is our first competative pre season game and at times it showed, never the less a good work out against a very decent side which had a familiar face in their defence, excellent to see Dave Young back at Surrey Street and getting a good reception.
Good luck Dave for the coming season.
I would also like to mention the crowd an excellent turn out for a friendly and a number many teams can only dream of.
Tuesday has the Millers coming to town in the High Peak cup so come on down to Surrey Street and watch this local derby.
