Just happened to be passing
on my way back from a meeting.
With 30 minutes to go score was 2-1 to 'Dale.
A cracking goal from Michael Carr brought us back into the game having gone down to 2 goals in the first 16 minutes.
Amongst the 'Dale players was a certain Lee mcEvily and a recent loanee at Stanley Higginbotham.
Sammy and goalkeeper coach Lee Jones were there. Sammy had a quick word about how 'bloody cold it was'....
FINAL SCORE
'Dale 3 MFC 2
Evidently O'carroll scored a sensational 2nd for us following 'Dale going into a 3-1 lead.
Credit to Lawrence Bland who had caught numerous buses to be there. I think it involved 5 bus changes just to get near to Rossendale's Dark Lane ground and then a 15 minute uphill walk!
