The ground is fully enclosed with a covered terrace in the corner next to the changing rooms. There's dugouts on each side with the clubhouse situated near the entrance.
A bad tempered affair saw the host race into a three goal lead. Sam Noar fired home from a right wing cross in the 10th minute, followed by Sam John tapping home a rebounded shot, before Mike Taylor adding a third from the penalty spot. The first half came to an abrupt end when a bad tackle on Sam Noar, saw him carted off to hospital in a car during the half-time break.
A red card was finally shown in the 55th minute when the Hindsford number 9 was dismissed for another nasty challenge. Taylor added his second with a cracking finish on 77 minutes, before a late consolation for the visitors.
An eventful afternoon was rounded off by a substituted Hindsford player going raggie and ended up having fisty cuffs with the team coach inside the dugout - so overall a great afternoon's entertainment|

The story of Cheadle Town began in 1961 when a 14-year-old kid called Barrie Dean asked his neighbour, Chris Davies, to help his pals form a football team. This team was named Grasmere Rovers after Grasmere Avenue, the street they both lived. Chris took on the role of team manager, playing their first match in September 1961.The club played Sunday football in the Manchester Junior Football League before switching to Saturday’s, joining the Manchester League in 1972. The club were league champions in 1979-80 and won three cup finals during that all-conquering season.
The club became Cheadle Town when they joined the NWCL in 1983-84.

321 mile round trip doors-to-doors.
I drove to Katie and Lee's for a 9am departure from Houghton, travelling as a passenger in Blossom along with Connor, who we picked up off the A19 at Peterlee.As per usual,we started our day off in a JDW, driving directly to The Kingfisher in Poynton for pre-match lunch. In between the two matches in Cheadle we called to the Gateway in East Didsbury, which is also GBG listed, which isn't surprising as the two ales I supped were both top class.
An enjoyable and eventful day which included a barney in a dugout, a spooky walk through a graveyard, a flying pint of ale and a near fatal dunsh, which would have seen an ambulance, a hospital and definitely the end of the road for Blossom. This trip was sadly the last one from the North-East Groundhopping Contingent for a while, as Katie heads back to her roots tomorrow for a two month break to see her family back in New Zealand. Happy trails and hopefully some Kiwi ground for her to tick off while she's away. x.
