RECREATION GROUND | BROOKBURN ROAD | CHORLTON | M21 8FE
by Matthew Durrant · 06/04/2018
Last night, West Didsbury & Chorlton made their Match of the Day debut – although sadly not quite in the manner that one may have imagined. As part of MOTD’s Premier League Show, Brookburn Road was used to stage a five-a-side match between Liverpool band She Drew The Gun and their Manchester counterparts Cabbage, with ex-England, Manchester City, and Everton player Joleon Lescott there to offer tips. Despite the state of the pitch, they somehow managed to get a game on – and you can watch the entire thing now on iPlayer now by clicking here. Elsewhere in the programme, Jermaine Jenas has an in-depth discussion with Kevin De Bruyne, and Justin Moorhouse talks about the upcoming Manchester derby with Lescott and Gabby Logan.
No wonder we can’t get a game on @WD_CFC @WDC_Women – did you see them @ahcabbage ‘ooligans and their knee slides across the hallowed turf????
