The Reserves lost for the first time in five games on Saturday going down 2-1 to their counterparts from Glossop. Bill Stell reports.

As last week they went behind to an early goal, and then gave themselves a mountain to climb by conceding a second within the first 15 minutes.

They fought hard to get back in the game, but goal chances were few in the first half and half time arrived with no change to the score line.

The performance improved in the second half but again the chances were few. It took until the 80th minute to pull one back through a well struck free kick from Andy Bennett.

This spurred the reserves on and they put the Glossop defence under terrific pressure for the last ten minutes but they could not get a second break-through to secure the equaliser their second half performance deserved.
