Birkdale United AFC

Birkdale S travelled to Ainsdale, the lads have been playing well in the last few weeks and the same was to be said about today’s game. Birkdale S were on the ball from the kick off with Flatts in fine form and Welford holding the ball up, and spreading some fine balls around the pitch. After five minutes Welford held the ball on the left and waited for O’Neil who was bombing down the right side, he fed the ball inch perfect to is feet and he cooly slotted home 1-0.

Birkdales second came when Flatts made a great run on goal, and hit a sweet ball bottom corner 2-0.

The second half was a slow start as Birkdale had there backs to the wall, but the defence held on well with great tackles from the defenders and some fine saves by Huyton. Ainsdale got a goal back to make it 2-1. Things were getting a bit nerve racking but with 10 minutes left Birkdale turned the screw on Ainsdale. Casterton took command in midfield, Welford had 4 or 5 shots saved by the Ainsdale keeper.

Birkdale started to find their passing range again, and it wasn’t long before O’Neil got his second an third goals, 

Birkdale were 4-1 winners in the end, but Manager Shaun felt the team also should have had a penalty when it seemed that an Ainsdale player hand balled a good yard inside the box, but the referee pulled play back and awarded a free kick just outside the area. Ainsdale keeper was fantastic today and definately kept the score line down, so well done to him.

WELL DONE ALL YET AGAIN
