A defender's goal wins it for Salford City — 7.70
1 for Delano McCoy-Splatt, marked 7.70, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Graduation day at Salford City
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
