Burscough v Birkdale United
September 28th, 2009 by admin| Date: | Sunday 27th September 2009 |
| Location: | Priory High, Burscough |
| Result: | Burscough (1) Birkdale (0) |
Our third game of the season and only the third match the girls have played together as a team. The parents had high hopes for this game as the girls were starting to gel as a team.
It was a determined start to the match for the Birkdale girls, with a near goal within the first few minutes . Birkdale Girls dominated the game in the first half, the defence were strong and the midfield kept blocking and getting the ball back up to Burscough’s half but after quite a few good passes and shots from the forwards it wasn’t for going into the back of the net. Then seconds before half time out of nowhere Burscough managed to sneak in a well-taken goal.
The second half started with McGuire the goalkeeper not being able to play due to a wrist injury. Emily did a great job replacing her in goal. Again Birkdale played a great second half but could not get the ball into the net.
A great match by both teams but an unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Birkdale.
Well done girls, we all enjoyed the match.
Player of the Match: C. MacBeth
