CABLES FINALLY CAN BELIEVE. JT!

PRESCOT Cables supporters have waited for more than a decade to celebrate promotion but knew this contest was over in little more than an hour.

A rousing rendition of ‘Now you’re gonna believe us, the Bulls are goin’ up!’ in the moments after John Murphy’s goal signalled as much.

His short-range header added to a similar one before the break from Alex McNally, who had not started at primary school when the Pesky Bulls were relegated from the Northern Premier League’s top flight in 2009.

City of Liverpool were left to wonder what might have been had Max Allen not been shown a red card shortly before the break by referee Jonathan Chadwick – coincidentally for a reckless lunge at McNally.

The teams were tied at 0-0 when the Purps’ midfielder was sent off, and had barely threatened a breakthrough between them.
