Toon The Bridesmaids Once Again

Last updated : 25 April 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
But the good news for Toon fans is that Shola Ameobi came through 70 minutes of his latest comeback match and looks to be in line to play some part of the game at Reading on Monday.

The 25-year-old has done his self no harm putting in two Reserve performances, and I can only imagine the press would have a field day with Glenn Roeder if Michael Owen breaks down on his return, having kept his match fitness to a knock about with Gretna last week.

The Trotters who took the lead on 22 minutes through Nathan Woolfe and added a second before half-time as centre-forward Temitope Obadeyi made it 2-0. Obadeyi added a third within a minute of the restart.

Edgar grabbed a consolation header for United with four minutes to go.

The win meant Wanderers clinched the Reserve League title, and Lee Clark said after the game he felt "let down" by his players as Bolton totally dominated the fixture.
