Â
Sunday 20th September was derby day and a very warm afternoon for football. Birkdale S v Birkdale R is always a very tense game with both teams wanting to win to gain the bragging rights.
Â
Birkdale S were not at their best for the game and you could tell by the way everything was 100 miles an hour and we didn’t keep hold of the ball and pass it around like we normally do. Birkdale S were on top most of the game but with Welford being marked by two defenders for most of the game it was up to Casterton, Flatts and Oyebola to try to get a goal. The goal came right at the end of the first half with a great dribbling run by Oyebola who scored with a very good finsh.
Â
Birkdale R couldn’t get past the defence with Colocott stopping most of their forward play. When they did shoot on goal Ross was equal to the task.
Â
Over all Birkdale S were the better side but Birkdale R made us work very hard and kept everyone’s nerves going till the final whistle. Well done everyone on both teams for a great game.
