For the first 15 minutes, Hulme were dominant and took an early lead against last season’s Oldham Schools’ Cup winners. Bradley Cryer reached the byline and pulled back a low cross which was confidently converted by Sam Mellor from the edge of the box, a move rehearsed in training earlier in the week. Crompton House fought back hard and equalised largely thanks to an unfortunate deflection off Sam Flanaghan and an untimely slip by Chris Claydon which left us watching the ball trickle over the line as if in slow motion. Crompton House then enjoyed a sustained period of pressure and took the lead shortly before half time.
Hulme started the second half as they did the first, and the pendulum swung back in their favour. An excellent header back across the face of Crompton’s goal was volleyed home magnificently by Bradley Cryer. Hulme had their tales up and narrowly missed a number of clear cut chances to take the lead but it was Crompton House who converted next from a poorly defended corner. Hulme rallied and were determined to take something from the game. A trademark long free kick from Nathan Coverley saw Man of the Match Jake Riley beat the defence and drive a low shot home for a well deserved equaliser with one of the last kicks of the game. An excellent match for all involved, although it is worth noting for the future that oCrompton House had 6 players missing for this fixture as they were playing for the town team.
