Split squad earns Blade draw and Miner victory


6/ 8/2008

MACC Town looked likely winners against the Chengdu Blades but conceded two late goals in a 2-2 draw.

With Matt Towns in goal, Macc started with Izak Reid, Paul Morgan, Richard Walker, Shaun Brisley and Ahmed Deen in defence.

Chris Hirst, Christian Millar and Gareth Evans were the midfield trio, with Martin Gritton and Simon Yeo in attack.

In an entertaining clash, Gritton put Macc, led by assistant manager Gary Simpson, ahead five minutes before half-time.

Hirst doubled the lead early in the second half.

But two late goals by the Blades earned the Chinese Super League side a creditable draw.

On the same evening, Keith Alexander took charge of the team that travelled to Rainworth Miners Welfare.

Francis Green and Kris Dennis scored in the first half to set the Macc team up for a comfortable 2-0 win.

The side at Kirklington Road featured mainly youth and trial players, although Jon Brain, James Jennings, Matthew Flynn, Lee Bell, Danny Thomas and Terry Dunfield were among the senior first-teamers on show.

John Rooney replaced Jamie Tolley at half-time.
