⭐️MAN OF THE MATCH⭐️

A superb second debut for Ben Milburn who was rock-solid in the Stan defence up against a strong Lincoln attack.

Well done Ben!

🗣️ “We had to win a game as early as we could… and we have!”

Manager Dean Nicholson reflects on his first ever opening day win in charge of the club!

Three points on the opening day! Dale Pearson with his second in two steals it in the 90th minute!

DALE PEARSON SCORES IN THE NINETIETH MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-0

84’ SUBSTITUTION: Max Storey replaces Leighton Hopper. 0-0

81’ CHANCE! Errington gets in down the right, shoots across goal but the keeper Richardson makes a brilliant save. 0-0

72’ SUBSTITUTION: Andy Burn replaces Dan Stephenson. 0-0

57’ SUBSTITUTION: Jay Errington replaces Bailey Adamson. 0-0

56’ The ball is in the back of the Lincoln net - but no goal. Stephenson had a good effort blocked, and then scored but the flag went up. 0-0

48’ Beattie sends in a wicked cross from the left, Pearson gets up but can only flick it on and Hopper can’t quite get to it. 0-0

Back underway!

A cagey first half comes to a close, no score.

41’ Stephenson fires just over from the free kick. Unlucky! 0-0

40’ Leighton Hopper is fouled 25 yards out, Stephenson will have a free kick in good range… 0-0

33’ SAVE! Lincoln whip a ball into the centre, Brass punches before Fenwick can meet it and direct it goalwards. 0-0

31’ Stephenson fires a ball over the top for Pearson to run onto but the Lincoln keeper Richardson beats him to it and clears cleanly. 0-0

A big thank you to our mascots this afternoon - the Heaton Stan under-8s!

29’ Vincent drags a shot wide for Lincoln. 0-0

17’ Owen Vincent gets in behind, Brass comes out to tackle him and prevent a certain goal. His defenders have covered him so it wasn’t last man and it’s just a yellow. Resulting free kick blasted into the wall. 0-0

11’ Stephenson is on the end of a ball of the top, he sets himself to shoot from out wide but it’s no problem for the Lincoln keeper Richardson. 0-0

The 25/26 @thenpl.bsky.social season is officially underway!
