AS a spectacle, this Vodkat North West Counties clash was awful.
Wind, rain and a pitch inches deep in mud meant decent football never had a chance.
Cheadle were mentally and physically stronger than the Storks, and deserved the points thanks to two goals from Dean Martin.
He headed the first from a corner on 17 minutes, and fired home from close range on 52 minutes.
Padiham's only attempt came from Chris Ridehalgh, but his close range header was well saved.
