Padiham Ladies v Accrington Stanley Ladies - March 29th 2009
Padiham Ladies 3
Accrington Stanley Ladies 2
STANLEY slipped to a narrow defeat at Queens Park in Burnley on Sunday.
The sides had earlier played out an 11-goal classic, with the Reds coming out on top 6-5, and this was another tight game.
The opening half hour was something of a stalemate, although Stanley should have taken the lead when Charlotte Holden was played through on goal, but the Padiham players stopped, looking for an off-side decision, and rather than playing to the whistle, the Reds striker passed up the chance to score.
Stanley were punished moments later when former Blackburn Rovers forward Justine Wallace clipped the ball over skipper Katharine Butler after a defensive error.
And 15 seconds before half-time, Hannah Glendinning was granted time and space to double the lead.
The Reds came roaring back, however, and pressure from Holden led to home captain Emma Frith turning the ball past her own keeper.
Stanley were in the ascendancy, and Dawn Haczycki appeared to be clipped in the box, only for the referee to ignore appeals.
A soft third restored Padiham's two-goal lead, Wallace heading in from inside the six-yard box with the Stanley players flat-footed, but again Stanley showed their resolve, as top-scorer Haczycki entered double figures for the season with a wonderful goal, cutting in from the left and nonchalantly finding the top right corner.
Chloe Smith almost found an equaliser with a searing free kick, but time ran out on the Reds, who are at home to Morecambe on Sunday, kick-off 2 p.m. at Wilson's.
