Not a match that will linger very long in the memory, I think. And I clearly jinxed matters by mentioning Jackman - given his all-round good performance and headed clearance away from goal!
Ah, well - enjoy...

Greetings from Edgeley Park for what is - rather unusually, fixture-wise - the second of four consecutive Saturday afternoons to be spent in SK3. And possibly of five, if County’s name comes out of the hat with a home FA Cup-tie for the final weekend of this month.
No doubt, our visitors from Worcester - to whom a warm welcome - will be pleased enough about making the trip today, having been landed with a midweek schlep up here just over a year ago. They include among their playing ranks - as teams in our League are often wont to do - a former Hatter in Danny Jackman. And I was appalled to discover that it is now more than a whole decade ago when young Danny was plying his trade at EP!
Hopefully, he won’t be coming back to haunt us in too scary a way - although it was pleasing to see us overcome the usual jinx on Monday, when, despite successful strikes by not just one but both opposing players formerly of this parish, we still managed to win at Fylde by the odd goal. Another footballing superstition to lay to rest, then? Well, I know the answer to that - and I suspect you do, too...
So, Sandy. Given who we’re playing today, I guess that you’ll be out on the Sauce afterwards?!

Now, if you’re familiar with County Heaven, you’ll know that we do love a good list every now and then. This obsession started a few years ago, when bringbacklenwhite (or “Lennie” as he is affectionately known) started C.H.A.O.S. [County Heaven’s Anecdotes Of Sport]. Such was the success of our weekly A-Z anthology of sporting hilarity, it was turned into a book, of which, should you be interested, the Club Shop still has a final few copies. All proceeds are now going to the British Heart Foundation, so do please pick up a copy for a good cause.
C.H.A.O.S. was closely followed by our A-Z of County heroes in C.H.I.E.F. [County Heaven’s Index of Edgeley Favourites] and the corresponding C.H.U.F. [County Heaven’s Useless... erm... Footballers], before, most recently, we completed C.H.U.M.S. [County Heaven’s Ultimate Music Soundtrack], undoubtedly the best 26 songs ever placed into one alphabetised compilation!
Not deterred by the rapidly diminishing number of acronyms starting with ‘CH’, a few weeks ago we launched C.H.I.V.E. - County Heaven’s Indexed Vault of Evil - which is essentially our indexed version of the popular TV show, Room 101. So far, we have banished ‘Automated Phone Systems’, ‘Brazil’ and ‘Compensation Culture’ to the fiery pits, but there’s still time to sign up and vote on the rest of the alphabet - perhaps ‘Wrestling moves in football’ for Week W?!
Enjoy the match, folks.
