Radcliffe 1-3 Crewe Alex

Last updated : 31 July 2002 By Site Staff
Radcliffe Borough hand the game in their hands in the first half and were up after 8 minutes after they scored from a rebound on a free-kick. More chances went their way than Crewe's but in the second half Crewe turned on the style.

First Bell slotted the ball past the keeper on a one on one in the 50th minute, then Gareth Grant put the Alex in front when he scored after the keeper had saved his first shot he made sure it went in with his second. Then Ben Rix got a goal only a few minutes later when he hit the ball on the volley.

It shows the youngsters have the skill and the spirit to play at first team level and you can expect to see the likes of Bell, Morris, Edwards and Jeffs there sometime next season.
