Football: Stockport County 2 - 1 Burton Albion

Image
Stockport County tightened their grip on play-off spot with hard-fought win over Burton Stockport County bolstered their League One play-off hopes with a tense victory over struggling Burton Albion at Edgeley Park. Author - Josh T Kick-off was slightly delayed as fans took longer than usual to make their way into the stands, but once the action got underway, the hosts wasted little time in asserting themselves. Burton keeper Max Crocombe did well to parry Will Collar’s effort, but Kyle Wootton reacted quickest to nod home the rebound in the eighth minute. Tanto Olaofe almost doubled the lead moments later, only to be denied by Crocombe, while at the other end, Stockport’s Corey Addai produced a sharp low stop to keep out Owen Dodgson. The visitors came agonisingly close to levelling just before the break, but Ethan Pye’s last-ditch block thwarted Charlie Webster from what looked like a certain goal.

Gig Review: Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene

Image
Kula Shaker and Ocean Colour Scene create a party atmosphere in Manchester A sensational night of music at one of Manchester's most iconic music venues Author - Josh D For some reason, you just knew this was going to be a special night almost immediately. A closer look at Kula Shaker A band that might not necessarily have been as well known to the crowd. 90s Britpop fans will have been well aware, but for younger members of the crowd, Kula Shaker wasn't as well-known as some of their contemporaries. Within minutes though, everyone was certainly enjoying themselves. There is a distinction between being billed as a support act and being labelled a special guest. Kula Shaker, known for their established reputation and unique style, made it clear they were the latter. The night was off to a good start. Now for Ocean Colour Scene The bond between the band and their fans was palpable throughout the set, with a great mix of ages and backgrounds in the crowd. This didn’t go unn...

Football: Lincoln City 4 - 2 Bolton Wanderers

Image
Lincoln all but ended Bolton’s play-off ambitions on Easter Monday. This was achieved with a pulsating 4-2 win at the LNER Stadium, where veteran striker James Collins struck twice. Author - Sophie T Erik Ring and Reeco Hackett were also on the scoresheet for the hosts. Jay Matete and Alex Murphy replied for Bolton, who slipped to a fourth straight defeat at the worst possible time. The Imps took an early lead when Ring’s inswinging cross, delivered from a short corner routine, sailed through a crowded box and nestled into the far corner of Nathan Baxter’s net. Ben House went close to doubling the advantage, but Baxter saved well from his flicked effort. Moments later, Lincoln were awarded a penalty after Ethan Erhahon was bundled over by David Abimbola.  Collins then stepped up and lashed the spot-kick into the roof of the net to make it 2-0 after just 17 minutes.

Football: Wigan Athletic 0 - 0 Wrexham

A battling point for Wigan Athletic against promotion chasing Wrexham Many fans would have certainly taken that before the match. Author - Amy W The Latics shaded what was a largely uneventful opening half, with Maleace Asamoah curling wide for the hosts at the Brick Community Stadium. Midfielder George Dobson fired wide at the other end as both sides went into the break having failed to register a shot on target. Wrexham then appealed in vain for a penalty after Ryan Longman's cross hit Luke Robinson shortly after the interval as Wrexham improved. READ MORE: Exeter 1 - 1 Wigan match report Arthur Okonkwo produced a fine save to deny Asamoah shortly after the hour mark before keeping out an Owen Dale effort. Parkinson who was fresh from being named League One Manager of the Month for March then sent on Steven Fletcher, Elliot Lee, Ryan Barnett and Jack Marriott as Wrexham, who are second in the table, pushed for a winner. However, Wigan’s defence held firm and picked up what is...
