Ⅽhadderton Cott AFC

Today marked the dawn of a new era for AFC Stockport, and Nicola Gray’s side came agonisingly close to christening it with a victory against Chadderton Cott. The wait for our first official win goes on, but there was no shortage of talking points. AFC Stockport started brightly. The breakthrough arrived through Ellis Patterson, who reacted sharply when a corner was only half-cleared. Composed as you like, he steadied himself and whipped a stunning effort into the top corner. Moments later, Felix produced a fine footballing moment. Picked out on the edge of the box, he took one touch, set himself, and absolutely smashed it into the top corner! After the restart, Stockport looked the stronger footballing side. The ball stayed on the deck, the passing sharpened, and chance after chance rolled in. On another day, with a touch more ruthlessness, the game would’ve been put to bed. Truth is, we were the better footballing team, and with the amount of second‑half chances, you’d argue we should have won it. But if this is the foundation of the Nicola Gray era, the first win isn’t far away! ⚽ Final Score: AFC Stockport 2-2 Chadderton Cotts
