Having already planned to come here, it was disappointing to see that the match was off according to The Football Traveller magazine. However, the F.A. Full Time website was still listing the fixture, so a text to the very helpful Prestbury Rovers secretary was required and he confirmed that the game was indeed on. Not sure where TFT got the wrong information from, but it shows it can’t be trusted and confirmation of matches from more reliable sources is a safer bet.

Prestbury took an early lead, but failed to add any further goals during an even first half. When they went 2-0 up with seventeen minutes left it looked like the game was safe, but three minutes later an own goal gave BCR hope, and within a couple of minutes they had levelled it up at 2-2. A decent night’s entertainment and glad we checked that the game was still on!
