Newton Heath players unavailable for selection as all in London for Charity Shield game at Wembley.

A superb game, FC Grimsby’s advantage of being a ‘team’ rather than a ‘select team’ gave them an advantage throughout the game.  The ‘select’ was hampered by Grimsby goal keeper Gavin Broughton continuing his recent form, unquestionably the ‘man of the match.’

The refereeing was advertised as a ‘master class’ and so it was; both referees decisions was understood and accepted immediately by the players. Every touch and deflection was spotted; signals was straight out of FIFA hand book.

A big thank to Gavin and Lucas on behalf of the League and the players.
