THE winning goal at the Reebok goal itself was a source of much debate.

It was almost impossible to decipher whether Jon Newby's cross was forced home by Colin Woodthorpe or if Bernard Mendy had crowned his home debut with an own goal among a tangle of legs.

But Shakers player manager Andy Preece was in no doubt over who he had credited with the killer strike.

"It was Colin's goal, without a doubt," he said.

"He did a great job just to get into that position and keep up with Newby from where he was. That showed great determination and it was definitely him who got the final touch."
