Birkdale United vs. Skem Athletic, a cup semi final involving the first and second placed league sides, which was always going to be a tough game.
Birkdale weathered the early Skem Athletic waves of attack with some excellent defending and clearances.
Half time both sides went in at 0-0
In the second half Birkdale began to grow in confidence which was probably the main differenve between the two teams in the past. Goals came from Pring who went on one of her familiar pitch length runs and finished with a goal to the keepers left, which lifted the Birkdale girls. Ormerod added the second with a superb flick over her shoulder that, Skem kept trying untill the final whistle and contributed to a great cup game.
This was a great win for Birkdale against their toughest opponents. Keep it up girls.
