Cockerham’s 2010/11 campaign set off to a good start on
Sunday away to Gregson Lane. Donning
their new strip courtesy of The Barton Grange Hotel they looked the part and
certainly played attractive football throughout.
Cockerham without regular keeper Dugdale who had been called
up to a cricket final, Forde with a back injury and Tocknell long term knee
trouble looked slightly depleted for their opening fixture. However new signings Oscar Graham, Conah
Fazackerley and Calum Alexander slotted
comfortably into the squad with Oscar’s league debut producing five of the
eight goals and the man of the match decision being contested between the three
of them with Fazackerley narrowly claiming the honours.
Cockerham looked comfortable from the off and were quickly
two goals in front from Graham after assists from King and Atkinson. Alexander defended well and saved on the line
for Cockerham from a close range attempt.
Then slight lapses of concentration gifted Gregson their first before a
superb directed header from a corner brought them level. This seemed to be the incentive Cockerham
needed to lift their game and straight from the whistle Fazackerley found
Graham to put them back in the lead at half time.
The second half saw Cockerham playing as a team and moving
the ball confidently around the pitch enabling numerous goal scoring
opportunities. Graham add his fourth and Hilton then chipped in with a couple
before Gregson caught Cockerham pushing forward to add their third.
Moore having worked tirelessly throughout converted from a
narrow angle to extend Cockerham’s lead.
Graham then converted after determined play from Alexander and a fine
cross from Topping brought the game to an end with a deserved victory and a
valuable three points.
Next week Cockerham entertain Chipping at Bilsborrow with an
11.00 k.o.
