Apparently the good people at Prescot Cables FC liked Oliver Polack's goal against Mossley, because the very next day, they signed him. Polack was just rounding into form after pulling a hamstring in late August. Now he's with a team that's currently one point clear of the relegation places. Good luck, Oliver.

I'm going to buy Conor McNamara a pint or two. The DoF quickly located Polack's replacement: Dennis Lewis of FC United. In six appearances there, he'd set up three goals and earned a 6.84 rating. He's 22, and he is a definite upgrade from Polack in every way, save his pace. Dennis is extremely responsible defensively. I envision him tracking back to cover Alan Bridger as he comes forward--another possible way to make our offensive play a little more diverse and unpredictable.

FA Trophy, Preliminary Round Replay
Kendal Town v. Mossley

4-5-1
GK: Loughton
D: King, Weaver, Peacock, Bridger
M: Irons, Hunt, Sawyer, O'Neill, Lewis
ST: Carter

Some weary Mintcakes took to the pitch at Parkside Road today. Once again, we concede a VERY late, very costly goal.

Substitute Ray Hulse scored the game's first goal at 53', and I urged the lads to push forward and bag an equalizer. It finally came, three minutes from time, courtesy of Ollie Carter. He took a pass from Tom Sawyer, stepped into a opening and tucked the ball inside the post with his left foot.

Not a minute later, before my shout to "concentrate" could take effect, Mossley earned a corner. Paul Irons was in position to clear it, but a Mossley player fell to the ground between him and the ball, blocking his path. Mossley midfielder James Haigh got there first and beat Sam Loughton at his near post. A lucky goal, perhaps, but it counted, and we're out of the FA Trophy.
