Notts County 2 Stockport County 5 ( Football League 2) Tuesday 16 April 2024
Champions Again…ole..ole….and we are ..Dave Challinors magnificent Stockport County team, cruelly shorn of their 20 goal striker Tanto Olaofe ,strode majestically to the League 2 title with a rip snortingly superb 5-2 victory away to Notts County at their Meadow Lane home tonight. County played like true champions throughout taking control of the game early on , a truly excellent hat-trick by the amazing Paddy Madden putting the game beyond Stuart Maynard`s side well before half time. If tension abounded at the start, by the re-start County supporters were already in celebration mood especially when Sarcevic added a fourth goal 5 minutes into the second 45. The standard of play…the football from the blues had been exceptional and the work rate too so it was perhaps to be expected that they would relax a touch at that point, but that may be me undervaluing County`s work, when I maybe should give some credit to the Magpies who in a 4-minute spell nicked 2 goals b
