Saturday 31st March 2007 Bamber Bridge Res 1 Ashton Athletic 1
With yet another blank Saturday for a league fixture the first team made the short trip to Bamber Bridge Reserves for what proved to be an excellent work out.
Bridge took the lead in the 30th minute as slack marking from a corner let in the home team for the simplest of headed goals. Ashton created several decent openings but a bumpy pitch and a strong head wind were making things difficult and clear shots on target were limited.
Ashton were denied a clear cut penalty however when Dan Hitchen played the ball across the box towards two free Ashton players in the Bridge penalty area, but before it reached them a defender stuck out a hand to block the pass. With everyone expecting a penalty the referee decided to bring play back for a late challenge on Hitchen.
HT 0-1
With the elements in Ashton's favour for the second half, pressure was exerted on the Bridge defence however it was not until the 70th minute that the equaliser was scored, and what a goal it was. Adam White picked up the ball just outside the bamber Bridge box and beat several men with a maizy run before unleashing a ferocious drive that hit the underside of the bar before bouncing down and over the line.
The last 15 minutes were end to end as both sides searched for the win, but neither could find the killer finish. FT 1-1
Ashton's man of the match was Mike Winer.
Next saturday 7th April 2007 the team are at home against Norton United in a crucial "6 pointer". 3pm KO
