Chadderton Lose 2-1 At Home To Holker Old Boys

Chadderton missed the chance to solidify their strong start to the season as they lost 2-1 at home to Holker Old Boys.

Chadderton missed the chance to solidify their strong start to the season as they lost 2-1 at home to Holker Old Boys. It came after a superb 2-1 win for Chadderton away at Pilkington FC.

Holker got off to a terrific start after just five minutes when Tyler Wood put the away side in front with a delicate finish. The match started with intensity and both teams saw plenty of the ball and had multiple chances.

Chadderton capitalised on a spell of possession to draw level after Jack Turnbull slotted in on the 38^th minute much to the delight of manager David Finch. Both sides went in at the break level at 1-1.

Holker’s fast starts were a menace for Chadderton as just after the restart the away side were ahead after Brandon Collins finished well in the 48^th minute.

The game carried on to be a tight affair and both teams squandered some good openings but it finished with Chadderton losing out 2-1 to worthy winners in Holker Old Boys.

It’s not the result that Chadderton wanted but they have still endured a better start than last season and manager David Fish acknowledged that their opponents deserved the win.

Not good enough today. Out-played and out worked by a @Official_HOBAFC team who showed more desire and deservedly took the 3 points.
Very disappointing.
Tuesday can't come quick enough. #UpTheChad@ChaddertonFC
