Stalybridge Celtic 1:1 Leek Town — Result, Match Report & Stats

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Jack Irlam’s second-half equaliser earned Stalybridge Celtic a 1-1 draw with Leek Town in a Club Friendly, the striker’s 62nd-minute strike cancelling out the visitors’ opener to salvage a share of the spoils in a game that never really threatened to catch fire.

Leek Town struck first through an unassisted 16th-minute goal, catching the home defence cold, but Stalybridge responded after the break with Irlam levelling on 62 minutes — neither side could find a winner despite the hosts’ mounting pressure.

Stalybridge Celtic controlled the match on the numbers, holding 57% possession and earning seven corners to Leek Town’s one, yet could not turn that dominance into a win. Jack Irlam was the standout, his 9.08 rating and lone goal the difference between a draw and defeat. No next fixture is scheduled.
