ECL Results from Saturday 4^th  September

Boarhound     3                Club AZ          4

After going undefeated all last season  it came as a bitter pill to swallow  for Maurice Sutton’s team to taste defeat in their first match of the new campaign after  surrendering  all three points  to Club AZ having held  the lead three times  in a closely contested came at Congleton Road . It  was always going to be a tough opening match and with AZ having already played midweek perhaps they had a slight advantage . Nathan Hulley opened the scoring for Boarhound  before Lee Anderson crashed in a superb equaliser in off the underside of the bar that gave  Anthony Connolly no chance.  Not to be out done Simon Gibbons restored the home side’s advantage  with a spectacular volley of his own from the edge of the penalty box but once again Club AZ came back to level the came at 2-2 with Omar Lampety finding the net.

Gibbons grabbed his second of the match  and Boarhound’s third  in the second half   but with Lee Anderson equalising for a third time Boarhound began to lose faith in their own ability to hang onto a lead and began to  get frustrated . Club AZ took full advantage with Lee Anderson scoring the winner and completing his hat-trick late in the second half.

Mary Dendy         13               Wilmslow Sports     0

Not much of a contest at Mary Dendy Fields as the visitors could only field eight players  against  a strong Dendy team  Credit to Wilmslow they only trailed by three at half time thanks to some great goalkeeping from Graham Snowball  but the floodgates opened in the second half as tiredness crept in and Dendy brought on fresh legs.

Poynton Kings       6        Juno   United     0

Poynton Kings made it two wins from two games , nine goals scored and none conceded  after thrashing Juno 6-0 at Woodford Rec.
