2009 - Celebrating 125 Years of Football History
Prescot Cables Played host to Mossley FC in the Division One North encounter. At the last meeting both teams scored one goal. Today neither team were able to score.

After barely one minute into the game Cables striker Phil Green was hurt after a heavy tackle. The game was delayed for a couple of minutes and fortunately he was able to continue.

Cables had a livelier first half with a close effort by winger Phil Cooney just over the Mossley cross bar. Despite a well contested first half, there were relatively few shots on goal from either team. Both teams appeared commited and there were several competitive challenges.

John Couch, back after a knee operation ran himself ragged and performed creditably for the team.McIntosh was solid in defence winning most headers and loose balls

Mossley came into the game more in the second half. The second half saw a close range shot cleared off the Cables goal line by John Riley. With 15 minutes to go Cables striker Phil Green shot just wide of the Mossley goal.

On a number of occasions Green found himself with the ball and in an opportunity to do something positive. However, he was caught offside on more than one occasion and would have beneffited from checking his position against the line or holding play up for a moment while support came.

In the final ten minutes Mossley had a close range shot stopped at close quarters by keeper Paxton. In the final minutes a great McCulloch header hit the Mossley bar and was judged not to have crossed the line. A number of supporters seated in the stand considsered that the ball had crossed the line. However, it was difficult to tell from the side lines.

Despite the lack of goals it appeared that the supporters in general enjpoyed the game but after having been starved of action at Hope Street since before Christmas - they were most likely easily pleased.
