I saw Neil Danns score today

A very enjoyable afternoon at Macclesfield FC today. I didn't realise when we set off to see my mates grandson play for Ashton Athletic at Macclesfield that history would be made. It transpired that victory for Macclesfield would see them promoted as champions in front of a record 4,630 fans for a fifth tier non-league match. In the first half Ashton soaked up a lot of pressure and it seemed we were heading for a goaless first half, indeed the board had gone up for three minutes injury time. Cue Neil Danns breaking the deadlock. It came from from a rare attack down the left hand side with my mates grandson, 16-year-old Regan Brown down injured, he had kept Maccs leading scorer James Berry-McNally quiet up until that point having given him a reducer midway through the first half. As it was a low cross into the area was met by Danns to put Macc 1-0 up just before the whistle. Unfortunately Regan could take no further part and was subbed just before half time, receiving a hug from Robbie Savage as he left the pitch. The second half was a one way afair with Macc winning 4-0 to secure the title. They have an excellent set up there which is geared for far higher echelons of the football pyramid, many EFL clubs would be envious. Special note for Robbie Savage, Regans' mum got a selfie with Robbie after the match and mentioned that he had hugged her son at half time, he said "Regan had a really good game", I'm impressed that he knew the name of a teenager from the opposition, maybe he met him before the match or they do their research on the opposition to the nth degree.
