Heywood St. James (h) 1 - 2 (ht. 0-1) |
scorers : Clarkson |
| A tough physical match ending up with us just losing out again to a top of
the table side. At no time outplayed we couldn't get ahead in the game and suffered
another dent in pride by losing to the odd goal in three.

Bolton Lads Club (h) 1 - 2 (ht. 1-1) |
scorers : Latham |
| A very even entertaining match against the league
leaders saw us take an early lead through Latham. Bolton equalised and had a spell on top
just before half-time. We re-grouped and posed them plenty problems in the second period
only to fall behind to a counter attack. Again we battled back and finished the stronger
but good goalkeeping and the woodwork preserved Bolton's lead and left us pointless.

O. Mancunians (h) 3 - 2 (ht. 1-1) |
scorers : Greenwood,Latham,Elgee |
| Broughton keep up the pressure on the leading teams with a victory against
Old Mancunians. The first half was a very evenly balanced and just as we were getting on
top Mancunians went ahead through a penalty. Soon after the start of the second half
Broughton equalised through Latham and after 60 mins Greenwood headed Broughton into a
lead. Old Mancunians came back strongly but with 15 minutes to go Elgee finished off a
flowing movement with a well taken goal to give Broughton the points. A late goal from
Mancunians completed the scoring.

Thornleigh (h) 4 - 1 (ht. 0-1) |
scorers : Greenwood,Latham,Ainslie,Dickins |
| After being 0-1 down, to a penalty, at half time we
produced a barnstorming second half to over run our opponents. Four different scorers
highlighted the fact that it was an excellent team performance, at least in the second
half anyway.

win and it was they who got the only goal with 8 mins remaining

Bolton Lads Club (a) 1 - 4 (ht. 0-2) |
scorers : Latham |
| Broughton got of to a poor start when after 5 mins a
quick raid from Bolton resulted in a goal. During an even first half Bolton increased
their lead when a deflected shot found the net mid way through the half. The second half
belonged to Broughton who quickly pulled a goal back in the 50th min. when Latham scored.
A disallowed goal should have brought the equaliser and Broughton could not get any reward
for all their pressure. We were undone by two further goals in the last few mins (the last
one being offside) which gave the scoreline an unflattering look.

Astley Bridge/Sladians (h) 4 - 3 (ht. 2-0) |
scorers : Greenwood2,Latham,Ogden |
| Broughton make it four in a row. Broughton started brightly and after 10
mins Latham pounced on a mistake to open the scoring. Broughton continued to dominate and
after 30 mins Greenwood scored a great individual goal. 2-0 at half time did not reflect
our dominance of the match. More chances were spurned before in the 62nd min Ogden scored
after some good work down the right wing . In the 65 min Astley Bridge scored a goal from
a corner and then it was once more Broughton pressure that brought our 4th goal fron
Greenwood. Just as we were wondering how many goals we were going to get Bellis went off
injured and the defence leaked two late goals giving us a tense last five minutes.

Walkden (a) 4 - 2 (ht. 1-0) |
scorers : Greenwood3,Brown |
| Broughton topple the leaders. Although the pitch was
heavy Broughton still managed to play football by using the wings and more than matched
Walkden in the opening period. After 25 minutes Greenwood was quickest to react after the
goalkeeper had blocked his first attempt and this seemed to demoralise Walkden. Although
on top the score remained 1 - 0 at half time. Almost immediately after half time Walkden
equalised but it was not long before Broughton were back in the lead through Greenwood
again pouncing on a goalkeeping error. In the 60th minute Brown finished off another
flowing attack and then after 65 minutes Greenwood converted a penalty for his hat trick.
With a little more composure in front of goal Broughton could have had more goals. Walkden
made the most of a mistake to score a late consolation goal.

Mostonians (a) 6 - 3 (ht. 2-) |
scorers : Greenwood5,Elgee |
| The first half hour saw both sides playing some neat football before two
goals in two minutes from Greenwood knocked the stuffing out of Moston and from then on
Broughton got stronger and Moston weakened. Five minutes into the second half Elgee got
the third goal and we awaited a goal feast. A bad offside decision let Moston score and
gave them a brief glimmer of hope. The 65, 70 and 75 minutes brought three more goals from
Greenwood. Then as Broughton relaxed Moston got two late goals. Amongst the many excellent
performances a highlight was the raiding of Frank down the right wing and the quality of
the crosses for Johnny.

Horwich RMI (a) 3 - 1 (ht. 1-0) |
scorers : Greenwood,Latham,Dickins |
| A truly great team effort saw us win well against top of
the table oppostion. We spurned several other opportunities to score but were satisfied
with the result and performance. Not for the first time this season we outplayed the
opposition but this week the defence remained concentrated and hardly gave Horwich any
opportunity to score. We opened the scoring after twenty minutes when Dickins crashed the
ball into the roof of the net from a set piece. It was not till just after half time when
we added to the score with a well taken goal from Latham. Our domination continued and
Greenwood completed our scoring with 20 minutes to go. We failed to keep a clean sheet
when a now relaxed defence let Horwich in for a consolation goal with five minutes to
play.

O.Mancunians (a) 3 - 4 (ht.1-3) |
scorers : Greenwood,Latham2 |
| Once again Broughton return dissappointed from Manchester with no points.
The weather was atrocious, the motorway hold-ups horrendous and the first eight minutes of
the match a disaster as Broughton gave away three goals, it could only get better! After
these goals Broughton played themselves back into the game and Greenwood scored from the
penalty spot after 30 minutes and from that point it was one way traffic. This pattern
continued in the second half and although O Mancs. caught us on the break early in the
half with their fourth our domination of play never suggested we could not collect points.
However it was not to be, although we scored 2 more goals through Latham and we battered
their defence the ball would not go into the net. Lets hope some home fixtures bring us
more luck.

Thornleigh (a) 2 - 4 (ht. 1-2) |
scorers : Dickins,Szmitt |
| The unavailabity of a number of players and a late kick
off due to a motorway hold up was not the best preparation for the game. However Broughton
started brightly and were playing the better football when midway through the first half
they were hit by two goals in two minutes. They played themselves back into the game and
Dickins scored with a header just before half time. The pattern of the first half
continued with Thornleigh getting a third goal against the run of play. Broughton reduced
the lead when Szmitt scored with a long range shot almost immediately after coming on as
sub. In the last quarter Thornleigh got a fourth goal and despite much pressure from
Broughton hung onto win 4 - 2. Although we did not win it was good to see a side
containing so many young players playing the better football, a promising future ??

Collegiate OB (a) 2 - 3 AET (FT. 2-2) LFA Cup |
scorers : Latham 2 |
| Another great Cup performance that could've seen us
progress through to the next round. Against a strong side we played really well but
couldn't finish them off when we had the chances. They in turn took their opportunity,
albeit in extra-time, and held on to win after that. A great game, and all the best to
Collegiate in the future rounds of the cup.

Oldham Hulmeians (a) 3 - 2 (ht. 1-1) |

played brilliant but we did dominate for long periods, and scored the required number of
goals to take the three points

Walshaw SC (a) 3 - 5 (ht. 1-0) |
scorers : Greenwood2,Patel |
| The winning ways of the last three weeks deserted Broughton at Walshaw. In
the tenth minute, after the usual shaky start, Walshaw failed to deal with a through ball
and 'Faz' was quickest to the ball to score for Broughton. The remainder of the first half
saw Broughton use the slope and wind to dominate the game but could not add to the score.
The second half continued the way of the first until a cross-cum-centre drifted into the
far corner of the Broughton net. This gave Walshaw hope and Broughton lost their earlier
confidence. Walshaw who were now on top scored three more goals and appeared to be
cruising to a victory. However with ten minutes remaining Greenwood's running paid
dividends when he scored twice within as many minutes. Broughton laid siege to the Walshaw
goal seeking the equaliser but the game only went out of their reach when Walshaw scored a
breakaway goal to make it 5 - 3 and conclude the scoring. A disappointing and, we thought,
somewhat unfair result.

Every department looked and played solidly and finishing was of the highest order.

Astley Br/Sladians (a) 1 - 0 (ht. 0-0) |
scorers : Brown |
| The disappointing start to the season is now a distant memory as Broughton
put in another solid performance to secure a 1-0 victory away from home. The first thirty
minutes of the match was end to end, home side were lively and put a strain on our 3-4-3
formation but didn’t really trouble except for a shot easily cleared off the line.
After thirty minutes Seddon switched with Wharton and shortly after Seddon was put through
on goal and was unlucky not to score, the best chance of the half. Half time saw a
formation change to 4-4-2 with Seddon at right back, Turner and Bellis at centre half and
Wharton at left back. Latham was subbed with a groin strain handing youngster Murch his
debut at left midfield. The second half started well and in the 52nd minute Turner played
a long ball to Greenwood on the right wing, a good first touch and knock to Verow saw the
midfielder take the ball past two defenders and cut the ball back to Ogden on the edge of
the 18 yard box, to the right of goal. Ogden hit a great first time strike which flashed
across the front of the goal. The alert Frank Brown in the right place at the right time
fought off a defender to put the ball into the back of the net. Once again our fitness
level shone through as the home side ran out of steam and failed to make any serious
threat for most of the second half while Broughton continued to press and were unlucky not
to score a second.
