| Result: | Birkdale S (2) Formby JFC Blue (1) |
Birkdale S were home to Formby JFC Blue for the first game of the season. The home side were slow to start and went 1-0 down with a good strike after only four minutes gone. It woke Birkdale up and they started to challenge for the ball. They where soon level when a good ball from Casterton to Welford who took the ball towards goal taking two Formby players on and slotted the ball cooly past the oncoming Formby keeper from the edge of the box - 1-1 and game on. After 15 minutes Birkdale lost Welford to a injured ankle and on came Middleton for his debut game. The rest of the half was very evenand ended 1-1.
The second half was a good battle between two very good teams but Birkdale managed to get the winner from a great shot from O`Neil from just outside the box that gave the Formby keeper no chance. Both keepers were tested in the game with both making great saves but Birkdale were the eventual winners of a fantastic football match. Well done to everyone involved in a great game.
