Re: Way to Go Stanley
I couldn't be prouder ! A thoroughly committed performance by Stanley which stunned the Halifax players and supporters. I had to sit during the match , so I was in the main stand and I was with some good friends who are stalwart Shaymen ; they could hardly believe what we'd done to them ! Especially, we took the ball off them with amazing frequency. Also, I've been critical of Paul Crichton in recent times, so I'm delighted to congratulate him on a very good game. Coley was spot on with his decision to sub McEvilly for Craney , and although Evil wasn't able to have a major impact I believe he was an important factor in keeping the ball in the opponents' half toward the end of the game.
In the pub afterwards there were very few complaints from the Halifax fans ; they acknowledged that , apart from the first 20 minutes or so , Stanley were the better side. You could tell that our players really wanted this one. Wonderful !
