Birkdale United AFC

 

Birkdale made a bright start to this game and were rewarded with an early goal after only two minutes when Jackson ran through on goal and chipped the ball over the advancing keeper.

 

After 10 minutes, a corner taken by Frew saw Jackson’s powerful header find the corner of the net to double the advantage.

 

Two minutes later, Jackson completed another hat trick with a smart finish into the bottom left corner.

 

Regan made the score 4 – 0 after 25 minutes when he picked the ball up just inside the Ainsdale half and ran towards the defence, before firing a great shot from just outside the area into the corner of the net. That was the way it stayed until half time.

 

10 minutes into the second half, a fine finish from Rawsthorne made the score 5 – 0. Two minutes later Ainsdale grabbed one back with a great left footed shot from just inside the six yard box. 

 

A great performance from Birkdale in the first half and it could have been more but for some fine saves from the Ainsdale keeper.   The second half was much more scrappy, not helped by the rapidly deteriorating weather, most of it played in falling snow!

 

Man of the Match this week for a fine defensive display and marauding runs down the wing was J. Frew.
