A couple of Pre-Season games

Last updated : 23 July 2006 By Paul Fisher
Last Thursday night the Spireites nipped down the M1 to Watnall Road Hucknall in Nottinghamshire to the impressive set up at the Conference North side.
Minus the injured players Bailey,Davies, Smith,Folan & Nicholson and with Blatherwick not selected the side lined up:-

1 Michael Jordan (on trial from Arsenal)
2 Jamie Lowry
3 Alan O'Hare
4 Aaron Downes
5 Reuben Hazell
6 Paul Shaw
7 Jamie Jackson
8 Kevan Hurst
9 Danny Phillips (on trial from Charlton)
10 Wayne Allison
11 Phil Picken

The Spireites had much the better of the first half with Jordan hardly troubled at all and it wasn't a surprise when a ball from Paul Shaw allowed Jackson to fire home the opener and following a delightful cross from Lowry on the right hand side Jackson headed in the second.

Second half we had a variety of changes with players coming back on and off due to injuries but the Spireites went 3 up within a matter of seconds and iot was a former Chesterfield reserve player Nathan Winder with an own goal following a cross from Colin Larkin which was intended for Paul Hall.
Paul Shaw got the fourth with a low drive which was quickly followed by a fifth for Colin Larkin after a cross from Paul Hall.
Former Spireite Michael Fox volleyed following a cross from the right which went through Jordans legs and Hucknall got a consolation. 5-1.

Saturday the Spireites bandwagon went to Chester to face the League Two side and completed a further victory with goals in the second half from Mark Allott and Paul Hall.

Next up Aston Villa at Saltergate on Wednesday Night.

Super Colin Larkin
