Bulls Head recorded their first win of the season with a thumping 9-2victory against Mary Dendy and not even the knowledge that they had played againstvastly depleted Dendy side could quell their joy. After the matchPlayer manager Stuart Johnston was over the moonbut admitted it would have been better to play against a side at full strength , Dendy had started with ten and ended with nine as Adam Taylor who had braved 85 minutes carrying an injury eventually had to give in.

The floodgates opened on ten minutes when Tom Krank’s low shot from the edge of the area crept into the bottom cornerand their second came midway through the half courtesy of Sean Cooper .Peter Gregson made it 3-0 two minutes laterbefore Kyle Perrie who has four goals in two starts since signing form Wistaston gave Dendy hope pulling the score back to 3-1. Paul Fairhurst burst Dendy’s bubble a minute into time added on by referee Mark Leeas he made it 4-1netting the first of four in the match. Peter Gregson got his second of the game five minutes into the second halfbefore Perrie calmly slotted the ball past Paul Williams for his and Dendy’s second despite their being a hint of offside , but he did what all goalscorers should do and played to the whistle , which didn’t come. A hat-tick in twenty two second half minutes from Fairweatherpoured more misery on the visitors with Stuart Johnstongetting in on the act too with his first of the game . It could have been worse, twice the ball was cleared off the line once spectacularly by Matty Martin , and Mat Robinson made a string of fine saves and won Dendy’s man of the match award.
