Glossop North End 0 Trafford 1

In most sports it is of interest for a team to take on opposition who regularly play at a higher level. In football, cup competitions often provide this opportunity and it was in this context that Glossop North End met Trafford in the Manchester Premier Cup. Whilst the result shows that the Hillmen lost the match, they more than matched their opponents from two levels higher in the football pyramid and will take great encouragement from their performance into the League programme to come.

Silsden 0 Glossop North End 1

The Hillmen travelled through glorious Yorkshire countryside on Saturday for a League match at Silsden and returned with all three points from a match which they dominated for long periods. A cold, bright but still day welcomed the players onto the pitch with GNE giving debuts to Andrew Jones, a recent signing from Winsford United, in goal and central midfielder Paul Smith who has played all season at neighbours Abbey Hey. The Cobbydalers lined up with a fair few unfamiliar faces in a side which has been much changed since the last time the Hillmen were the visitors. Click Here for full report

Glossop North End 2 Whaley Bridge Athletic 1

The pattern of this game was set very early on. Glossop dominated possession of the ball, but struggled to create clear cut chances against stoic defending from the Whaley Bridge defence, and when they did they found goalkeeper James Tattersall in top form. The game was largely dour and needed a spark. Fortunately Alex Byrne was able to come off the bench and provide it. Click Here for full report
