Ormskirk W E 3
Tarleton Corinthians 0
Both Tarleton and OWE wanted to dominate
from the first whistle. Lewis Dunn had two unlucky shots that hit
the goal post and Tarleton were denied by Peter, OWE's goalie.
Then Joel Seddon ran down the pitch,
passed to Mathew Carrigan, who took a shot, it re-bounded and Saul
Dale scored.
The second goal was similar except it was Jordan Seddon who took the
shot but again it came back out and luckily Saul Dale was there to
nail it!
In the 2nd half after
a couple of changes, OWE took a few minutes to adjust. Once they did
they dominated the half. Joe Stanley was unlucky with a couple of
his attempts, one with his feet, the other with his head but the
ball just refused to go in.
The passing was great with one move in
particular involving Joe Stanley, Mathew Carrigan and Jordan, ripped
through the heart of Tarleton's defence but still the ball would not
go in.
Then a corner came,
Mathew Carrigan took it, straight to Joe Stanley's head and he
finished with style.
A good game of end to
end football today and a great result, well done OWE.

Rainford 0 Colts 0
Rainford today played hosts to Hesketh
Colts Red. The game began at a brisk pace with both teams contesting
the ball well and with some passing moves that was excellent to
watch. Rainford was first to test the opposition’s defence when Jake
Arkell went through one on one with the Colts keeper. The latter was
quick off the mark and dove bravely to smother the ball at the
striker’s feet. Two minutes later Ryan Jones threaded a superb pass
through for the Rainford striker but again the Colts keeper was
equal to his low strike. Hesketh began to make some inroads into the
Rainford half but Callum Deeming and Danny Bonnell were both strong
in the tackles and quick to clear any danger. Colts best chance came
midway through the half when the number 9 shrugged off a challenge
and went on a mazy run on goal. Great defence from Morgan Benson and
Jake Arkell ensured the colts striker was denied. Scott Stoneley was
working the Right flank well and repeatedly forced the ball into the
Colts penalty area. The defenders stood firm restricting Rainford to
snap shots from the edge of the area. Deadlock was almost broken
when Ryan Jones sent Danny Glover through on goal but his curling
effort went just wide of the upright.
Rainford rung the
changes at half time bringing on Kieran Case on the right Sean Marsh
in the centre and George Reid on the left. With Morgan Benson
resuming his usual strikers role. The change almost had an immediate
effect when Kieran Case started and almost finished a move from half
way with his shot creeping just wide. The Reds replied with three
corners in quick succession forcing Ryan Jones into 2 fine saves.
Sean Marsh began his trademark passes into the gaps in between the
defenders but Morgan Benson was unable to break the Excellent Colts
defence. Colts again came close at the other end when a strong cross
zipped across the face of the goalmouth after a wicked deflection.
George Reid on the left tore down the flank driving the ball into
the box but neither defence was going to be broken today.
At full time honours
were even at 0 - 0. A fair result. Well done to the Reds for their
part in an excellent game of football played fairly and in the right
spirit.
Town Green Spartak 1 Formby B 0 Formby JSCB almost pulled off what
would have been the double over Town Green Spartak on Sunday but the
brave battlers threw away all their good work in the final minute of
a pulsating match at Winifred Lane, Aughton.
The home side began well enough putting
the Formby JSCB defence under increasing pressure and as a result
forced three corners in quick succession but the Formby back line
were holding firm.
Adam Cullen and Matthew Lloyd were clearing their lines well at the
back for Formby but Town Green were constantly out numbering the
defenders which made it extremely difficult for Formby.
Matthew Lloyd then
managed to push his defence out and found Rhoss De Andrade down the
wing, Rhoss battled to get the cross in but became outnumbered and
the danger was snuffed out once more.
From a Patrick
Travers corner, Matthew Lloyd saw his volley blocked by the defence
and Sam Carragher's effort was just wide of the near post.
Formby almost took
the lead as the second half began when Rhoss De Andrade almost found
Max Robinson but the home sides defence got back to deny Max at the
last second.
Town Green had a few
good efforts but Matthew Lloyd and Adam Cullen headed the danger
clear on both occasions.
Daniel Gardiner was
then called into action when he saved brilliantly from a number 18
free kick. Shortly afterwards saw the save of the season from Daniel
Gardiner. Town Green's number 11 was in acres of space and he fired
in a superb shot which Daniel Gardiner touched brilliantly onto the
top of the cross bar and Adam Cullen hoofed the ball to safety.
Then came the
heartbreak. With seconds remaining Formby JSCB won a corner. Instead
of sitting back and taking the point everyone pushed forward. The
corner was swung in and Matthew Lloyd got his head to it but the
Town Green defence scrambled the ball clear. The Formby players
raced back and covered well but just when the ball looked like it
was going out the entire Formby defence stood still and the Town
Green winger kept running, kept it in and crossed the ball into the
middle where the defenders all missed the ball and the home side's
number 11 slammed the ball past Daniel Gardiner to snatch all three
points. Men of
the match were defenders Adam Cullen and Matthew Lloyd for some
excellent defensive play despite being outnumbered on many
occasions. Also our third man of the match today was goalkeeper
Daniel Gardiner, if it wasn't for him, it could have been a much
worse result.

Southport Jnrs 6 Redgate Green 4
Redgate came to Southport with a point
to prove as their previous encounter Southport ran riot and were
worthy winners. The weather played a big part in the game as howling
winds and rain tested both teams on a soggy pitch, Southport started
the better and Anthony Brown making his mark early on by controlling
the centre of the park. He set up the first goal by sending Jorge
Jones free inside the box who shot wide of the oncoming keeper and
into the net. The next Southport attack saw a move involving Robson
Baldwin and Brown to link up with Jones who rifled a shot into the
net from the edge of the box for his second in as many minutes.
Redgate struggled to contain Southport at this point and Dan
Thompson latched on to a loose ball wide on the left wing he cut in
and lobbed a shot over the keeper and into the net for a truly
outstanding goal, minutes later Thompson found himself free and he
unleashed trade mark thunderbolt that flew into the net giving the
keeper no chance. Redgate rallied round and against the run of play
they broke free and Dan Adobous shot was palmed away by Callum Jones
only for a Redgate striker to net from close range. The half time
break was due but from a goal kick Arron Ken beat the defender to
the ball and drew the keeper before placing his shot high into the
roof of the net. The second half was much closer
and Redgate the more threatening throughout but Southport missed
chances to extend their lead when Owen Drummond, Ryan Pytel and
James Smith were denied by great saves by the Redgate Keeper who was
superb in the second half. Oliver Cunningham sent a deep cross from
a free kick into the area which eluded everyone and found Will
Wilson unmarked to smash a shot inside the far post and evidently
seal the game for Southport. Redgate dead and buried came back with
a vengeance and showed a lot of character by pushing Southport back
into their own half, this paid dividends and the impressive Dan
Adobus netted a hat trick in ten minutes the third being the pick of
the bunch when he hit a bullet of a shot into the top left hand
corner of the net from way outside the box. Both teams gave their
all and credit to them all as the football played was in a very
honest and sporting manner, the man of the match for Southport was
Oliver Cunningham for giving a brilliant display of defending and
winning every header that came his way.
Trinity 1 Town Green 2
This match between Trinity and Town
Green, played at the Rookery, in weather conditions more befitting
Siberia than Southport, had it all.
Town Green started
well and had the majority of possession in the first half. Some
fantastic team play saw Town Green take the lead through a perfectly
timed goal from the magnificent Keiron Turner. Some tremendous
goalkeeping and breathtaking saves by Anthony Caunce denied Trinity
the equaliser and the half time score finished 1-0 in TG's favour.

The second half
started in similar vein, with both team vying for contention.
However, the outstanding number 17 for Trinity played a delightful
ball over the TG defence for their forward, Max Regan, to run on to,
to bring the scoreline equal. Game on.
Town Green stepped up
their game at this point. After some clever Town Green play, the
outstanding Connor Stockwell chipped a ball from the left with his
right foot which flew past the Trinity keeper for Town Green's
second.
With both teams fired
up, and with everything to play for, an intense game of football
ensued. The Town Green defenders felt the pressure from every
Trinity attack but some brave tackles by the in-form Jake Beesley
and dependable Danny Pugh, Theo Chrisokhou and Rian Eades protected
their goal excellently. JJ McNicholas had exactly the same impact
when he came on as sub.
Yet again, the ever
improving John Donson in midfield fed some excellent balls through
to George Newell, Connor Tierney and Jack McGregor in attack and
they were all unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. Callum Birchall
worked hard on the wing and created many problems for the Trinity
defence.
It was a shame that
one team had to lose this match as both teams played so well and
fought extremely hard. The Trinity goalkeeper had an excellent game
and played with confidence and authority in his goal. The whole
Trinity team played outstandingly, but on this occasion, the win
went to Town Green.
Town Green had many
contenders for Man of the Match today. However, an excellent
individual performance by Josh Donson earned him the accolade. He
worked tirelessly in midfield, produced some beautiful passes and
was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself. Well done, Josh.

Skem Rangers 3 Redgate Yellow 4
A very good start by Rangers to the
match saw them go into a 2 - 0 lead with Callum Owen scoring
followed by a great shot from Jordan Maloney. Within 2 mins of
Rangers 2nd Goal Redgate pounced, first a great low shot hit with
power under the keeper and straight from the restart down the wing
to squeeze in at the near post. Just before HT Callum Owen sprinted
through to chip the ball over the keeper for a 3 - 2 lead.
Second half Redgate
played some delightful football which led to Rangers defence looking
a bit out of sorts. A defensive clearance hit another Rangers player
which bounced kindly to the advancing Redgate striker to level the
game. Rangers did have a few chances but couldn’t get the ball into
the net before a Redgate free kick was knocked into the box and
converted to score the winning goal.
Man of the Match:-
Jordan Addison.
Town Green 6 Ainsdale 1
This was always going to be a difficult
draw for Ainsdale playing the league leaders Town Green who have
been on cracking form this season. Ainsdale started well keeping
Town Green at bay for 15 minutes, but a break by Town green led to
their first goal. A second goal followed within minutes. Ainsdale’s
heads went down and a lacklustre performance followed for the rest
of the first half, resulting in Town green scoring twice more.
Ainsdale’s second
half performance was more determined there was a renewed vigor in
their play. Ainsdale’s Rhys Crowther was forced to make save after
save with the help of Chris Huneidi, Ross Kedian, Jack Audsley and
Tom Harrison who beat back the Town Green attacks. Jamie Segar was
unlucky not to score when his shot hit the post. Liam Getchell
darted up the left wing crossing the ball for Paul Simms to score.
More shots reigned in from Getchell on the left and Lee Tierney on
the right, but the excellent TG keeper held off Ainsdale. Despite
Ainsdale’s efforts TG scored 2 more goals the game was well and
truly won.
Ainsdale's MOM this
week was Lee Tierney who, in the words of his Manager was
''Awesome''. His speed and strength gave TG defenders no end
of problems. Well done!
