Bacup & Rossendale Borough 2 Glossop North End 0

The conditions at Bacup on Wednesday Evening were ideal for football. A calm, mild evening and a dry pitch with plenty of grass on it promised a veritable feast of fine football. It’s only a pity that neither side had read the script. Click Here for full report

Glossop North End 4 Alsager Town 1

At Alsager a few weeks ago, Glossop generally bossed the play & opened the scoring only to see The Bullets equalise out of nothing before finally taking the three points. On Saturday at Surrey Street the same pattern played out, only this time the margin of victory was more emphatic.

Bootle 3 Glossop North End 1

The Hillmen’s proud unbeaten run was finally halted at Bootle on Tuesday night when the effect of numerous away games in the last few weeks appeared to catch up with them in the second half, allowing Bootle to push on to victory. It might have been different had Glossop taken more advantage of a dominant first 40 minutes, but a defensive error gave the home side crucial momentum just before the break, and The Bucks never looked like losing it.

AFC Liverpool 0 Glossop North End 2

The Hillmen’s unbeaten run became twenty two on Saturday with a comfortable win at Valerie Park. Victory came at a cost however, with leading scorer Tom Bailey taken off early in the game with a nasty looking injury.

Colne 0 Glossop North End 0

With the new series of Game of Thrones just about to hit our screens it was perhaps apt that Wednesday night at Colne felt less ‘Winter is Coming’, more ‘Winter has arrived’. Plummeting temperatures, rain, gale force winds, and a rolling mist that Paul McCartney would find lyrically inspiring, all combined to make this an awful night for football. Obligingly, and not through lack of effort, the two teams produced an awful game. Click Here for full report
