Reserves League Round-Up This Week

Last updated : 12 November 2008 By Thetashkentterror
After a blank week in the division thanks to the start of the FA Youth Cup three games took place yesterday in United's North-West league. Manchester City, in third, going down to their first defeat of the season as they lost 1-0 at home to Rochdale. Christopher Blakeley scoring the only goal of the game for the visitors on the hour-mark at the Regional Athletics Arena.

Down in the mid-table reaches Blackpool and Accrington Stanley shared the spoils after a 1-1 draw at a wet and chilly Bloomfield Road. Marlon Broomes put the Seasiders into the lead early on when he headed home from a David Fox corner, only for Andy Smith to equalise for the visitors midway through the second-half.

Last season's title-winners Morecambe picked up their first three points of the season with a 3-2 win at Bury. The Shrimps goalscorers being Asa Stone, Neil Wainwright and Danny Artell, while both goals for the home side were scored from the penalty spot.

In Carlisle's League Cup group Hartlepool lost their third game out of three as they went down 2-1 at home to Newcastle United. The 'Pools took the lead in the opening period through Martin Young but two goals after the interval from Sammy Ameobi meant that the Magpies stole away with the win. Another blank run comes up in the division next week, with Carlisle's next game being a week on Monday night against Tranmere in a 7pm kick-off at Brunton Park.
