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.

Image
Robinson's late strike seals vital win for Wigan Luke Robinson came off the bench to score a late winner as Wigan Athletic edged past struggling Cambridge United, securing a crucial three points at the DW Stadium. Author - Amy W Robinson struck with just 13 minutes remaining, capitalising on a rebound to move the Latics 10 points clear of the relegation zone, while leaving Cambridge still firmly entrenched in trouble and 10 points from safety. The game’s first real chance fell to Wigan’s Dale Taylor, who failed to connect cleanly with a volley after Baba Adeeko nodded down an early cross from Luke Chambers — making his return to the side after five months out. Cambridge soon threatened themselves when Dom Ballard weaved his way through the Wigan defence, only to be denied by a superb low save from Sam Tickle.

Things to do: A walk around Heaton Park

Image
Things to do in Greater Manchester part 1 Heaton Park is one of the largest municipal parks in Europe and remains a treasured green space for locals and visitors alike.  Author - Josh D Spanning over 600 acres, Heaton Park offers a striking contrast to the surrounding urban sprawl, providing a welcome retreat for walkers, cyclists, families and anyone in search of open skies and fresh air. At its heart is Heaton Hall, a Grade I listed neoclassical mansion designed by James Wyatt and dating back to the late 18th century. While the hall itself is only open to the public on selected days, it remains an imposing feature of the landscape and serves as a poignant reminder of the city’s historical layers. From the hill near the hall, visitors can enjoy panoramic views that stretch across Manchester and, on a clear day, even as far as the Pennines. Heaton Park has long been a fixture of Mancunian life. Beyond its natural beauty, it hosts a wide range of activities. There is a boating l...
