Super result for the Stanley Boys! First half was quite even but Bolton reached half time one goal up. A rather speculative shot bounced in front of the Stanley keeper and he couldn’t hold on to it and it left an easy tap in for Bolton. The visitors were a much tougher opposition than Wigan in the First Round as they were bigger, stronger and faster especially running with the ball in possession.
About 60 minutes into the match though, with Bolton looking the stronger, Stanley scored the vital goal to get back into contention. A few minutes later the Young Reds went 2-1 up with a well constructed goal but Bolton quickly equalized for 2-2. Bolton still looked the more likely to win with their strength on the ball but Stanley got the winner when a cross in was headed goal-ward, was pushed out by the Bolton keeper but then headed into the net for the winner. 4 minutes was shown for added time but the ref played eight before a very welcome final whistle went for a super victory for the Young Reds. 685 attended.
Stanley go on to play Swansea in the next round at home!
I strongly recommend the Stanley Faithful to get on to The Wham in Round three for some excellent entertainment!
Well done YOUNG REDS!!!
