Match Reports
Under 14
Southport FC 0
Skem Rangers 6 - A good match played by both teams
but it took at least 15 mins for the teams to start playing. Rangers
took their chances well as a cross from James Edgar was met by Dale
Slater to open the scoring. Almost immediately James Edgar hit the
second from the edge of the box into the roof of the net. Just
before half time Paul Bennett got Rangers third with a tap in on the
line.
In the second half
Rangers maintained their possession and were rewarded with Josh
Seddon scoring a brace, his first coming in from the wing to hit a
near post shot in and his second coming from a corner. Ryan Quine
completed the scoring driving a shot across goal hitting the post
and going in. Well Done to both teams who played the match in a
fantastic spirit.
Rangers Man of The
Match:- Josh Seddon
Southport Man of The Match:- Kieron McDonald
Under 11
Trinity 1
Southport Juniors 5 - A New Year brought
together Southport's top two teams who over the years have produced
some great games and hard fought battles with very little in the
score lines. The Rookery pitch was in superb condition for the time
of year and only a swirling wind hampered the football both teams
served up. Southport FCJ started the brighter and had the early
chances. Sam Johnson, Rob Handsford, Oliver Cunningham and Robson
Baldwin were outstanding at the back for SFCJ and cut out any threat
Trinity tried to put on their goal, this strength from a truly
outstanding defence allowed their midfield to push forward and Tom
Rogers, Anthony Brown, Gary Grier and Owen Drummond took advantage
to set up numerous chances for James Smith and Ryan Pytel. It
was a matter of time before the deadlock was broken when Grier cut
in from the left to find Smith who slid.......

.......a
pass to Drummond to hammer a shot into the roof of the net from
close range. Trinity responded in a positive manner with
Nathan Thistlewaite combining with Christy Devlin who's shot rattled
the side netting although Callum Jones the SFCJ keeper had it
covered. Scott Walkerdine marshalled things at the back for Trinity
but SFCJ always had a the advantage and only some fine goalkeeping
by Mathew Gautry kept the score at 0 v 1 at the interval.
SFCJ made two forced changes at the interval with Ryan Rytel and
Oliver Cunningham taking knocks in the first half but SFCJ have
strength in depth and Mat Peterson and Zack Evans who came on to
make his debut. It was Peterson who pushed forward and again some
slick passing saw the ball fall to Drummond to rifle home his second
goal of the game. SFCJ had the bit between their teeth and the fox
in the box James Smith went on a solo run and eluded two defenders
to hit a shot into the far side of the net from a tight angle.
Shortly after a free kick to SFCJ midway in the Trinity half saw Sam
Johnson step up and place a shot into the net to extend SFCJ's lead.
Trinity hit back with Scott Walkerdine hammering a right foot shot
into the corner of the net which was just rewards for Trinity who on
another day will get the rewards their effort deserved. The climax
of the game saw a goal of sheer class from Dan Thompson from well
over 25 yards out he hit a thunderbolt of a shot that flew into the
top corner of the net to make things worse for Trinity just as a
fight back seemed on the cards. Jorge Jones came on as a late sub
and nearly added to his total for the season but shot narrowly wide.
Anthony Brown and Tom Rogers bossed the middle of the park
overpowering Trinity's midfield but for all round commitment and
endeavour it had to be Owen Drummond to be awarded the Man of the
Match.
Birkdale B 2 Birkdale J 1 - The second game of the
season between these two club sides saw a highly competitive game
from the off. The first corner kick was won by Birkdale B which lead
to a shot on goal forcing Birkdale J keeper Dan Griffiths to make a
fine save. The Renacres Hospital sponsored side Birkdale J applied
equal pressure and had the ball kicked off the line denying them a
goal. Liam Jackson made some excellent crosses into the box which
Birkdale J failed to capitalise on. Twelve minutes into the game a
corner kick to Birkdale J was taken by Luke Williams, which lead to
shot on goal by Reece Gaskell just wide of the post and Harry Losty
was unlucky to see his shot also go wide. Birkdale B drove forward
and was on on line for a shot when defender Sam Howard made a
splendidly timed tackle to keep Birkdale J out of danger. A chance
came for Birkdale J when they were awarded an indirect free kick in
the penalty area, but again, failed to make anything out of it.
Pressure again from Birkdale B led to an own goal by Birkdale J
giving them the lead. Birkdale B were then awarded an penalty kick
which went just wide of the post giving a half time score of 1-0 to
Birkdale B.
The second half saw the appearance of Nick Knight in goal for
Birkdale J and following a goalmouth scramble Birkdale B scored
again. Birkdale J had chances and then the breakthrough came with a
goal from Dom Platts. Birkdale J were given a penalty kick which was
taken by Dom Platts and saved by the Birkdale B keeper. Towards the
end of the game Birkdale B were awarded a free kick which lead to a
save from Nick Knight.
A hard fought game and some strong performances from Greg Rawsthorne
playing in an unusual defensive role, Jack Young, Lewis Burrows and
Liam Aindow.
Formby B 2 Town Green 4 - Fresh from the festive
break, Town Green started the New Year with a bang at Formby today.
Rested and revived from the Christmas holiday, Town Green continued
from where they left off last year, with a dazzling display of top
class football, which is hopefully a sign of what we can expect to
see for the rest of 2008.
Town Green started brightly and confidently and got the scoring
started with a beautiful, Beckham-esque free-kick from Theo
Chrisokhou, giving TG the early lead. A second TG goal soon followed
from Kieron Turner, who volleyed brilliantly into the back of the
Formby net.
Some persistent pressure from Formby presented the Town Green
defenders with problems, but Danny Pugh, Theo Chrisokhou, Rian Eades
and Jake Beesley stood strong and solid and coupled with some fine
goalkeeping from Anthony Caunce, kept Formby at bay.
However, Formby's perseverance eventually paid off when they finally
found the back of the net and then again a couple of minutes after
that. Game on.
When Town Green stepped up their game, it was George Newell who
finished perfectly to make the half time score 3-2.
With everything to play for, both teams came out fighting in the
second half and it was real end to end football. However, some
dominant Town Green play and perfectly timed passing found Connor
Tierney who, with an excellently taken goal, scored Town Green's
fourth. Jack McGregor was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet and
had a good, solid game, as did Connor Stockwell on the wing and JJ
McNicholas in defence.
Josh Donson and Jonathan Campbell battled hard in midfield and when
Callum Birchall came on, he ran Formby ragged with his lightning
runs down the wing.
This was a close fought game but on the day, Town Green deservedly
took the points.
Town Green's Man of the Match was Danny Pugh. His consistency,
bravery and all round hard work was recognised by his manager, who
duly awarded the well deserved accolade to Danny. Well played Dan.
Well played Town Green.
Under 9
Tarleton 2 Jaguars
Red 3 - The match started well on a muddy pitch as
both sides contested every ball. The Jags held their positions well
and kept Tarleton at bay.
As the half was drawing to a close, Tyler Rimmer’s through ball was
latched onto by Jaguars Kyle Bell who slotted home.
Almost as the second half started, the lead was doubled with Tyler
Rimmer’s run ending in a perfectly placed ball at the feet of Josh
Hilton who calmly converted.
Tarleton then took advantage of Jags having dropped back and quickly
reduced the deficit then equalized in the space of five minutes.
Despite chances at both ends the game looked set to be a draw but
with minutes to go Kyle Bell got his second of the match and Jags
third to make it 3-2 to the Jags.
This was Jaguars Red’s first ever victory and credit goes to them
and to Tarleton for an exciting and competitive game.
Southport B 0 Jaguars White 1 - What a great game.
Both teams tried really hard and the first half was end to end with
neither team taking any of the advantages from good open play. Jags
missed a great chance when, in front of goal, the ball just wouldn't
get out of Ben Shenton's feet and the tackle came in from the
Southport defence. Ryan Ashall had a hand in several attacks as his
running with the ball caused problems to the other defence. All that
was lacking was the final ball.
The second half started the same but the Jags turned on the pressure
and had the majority of the play - although Southport were
counter-attacking really well. A ball in from the right caused
problems in Southport's defence and the referee had no hesitation in
awarding a penalty after the defender from Southport put his arms up
to stop the ball. Up stepped Ryan Ashall and put the ball in the top
corner. 0-1
Southport really tried hard to get the equaliser - Kyle Dawes was
immense today and Zayn Noray hardly put a foot wrong. Southport had
several scrambles in the area but there was always a white shirt to
block and tackle, right till the end. Jags tried to hit Southport on
the break and Ben was always threatening up front. A run by Lewis
almost created a second, and Joshua worked really hard on the right
of midfield. Both goalkeepers from the Jaguars made good saves today
and for the first time this season the Whites kept their
concentration to the final whistle and took all three points.
Town Green 3 Ormskirk FC 2 - This was a great
local derby played at a blistering pace and in a great spirit.
Ormskirk took the lead in the first minute through Jamie Barnes's
quick thinking to pounce on a back pass and poke the ball past the
keeper. Town Green came back into the game and equalised on the
stroke of half time.
Despite the great efforts of the back three Adam Jones, Elliot
Fitzpatrick and Alex Wong, Town Green scored twice at the start of
the second half. Elliot Fitzpatrick was superb passing the
ball out of defence rather than just clearing his lines.
Ormskirk came close after a great Matthew Woods corner was met with
a header from Jamie Barnes that skimmed the bar. Tom Bigland and
Matthew Woods came close to scoring but it was man of the match
Jamie Barnes who got his and Ormskirk's second with a twenty yard
strike.
Town Green are a good side but a draw would have been a fair result
in a very open game. |
