A very difficult away cup fixture faced Birkdale today, against the top of
the North division. The day began with a long journey to Bolton and an early
kick off. The pitch was heavy but playable.A fter a couple of minutes Birkdale
found themselves a goal down. Birkdale immediately fought back and had a good
spell of pressure keeping Academy in their on half.A counter attack and
defensive error led to Birkdale conceeding another goal. The game continued
with pressure at both ends. However it was Academy who added to the score
sheet. The half closed 4-0, but the scoreline flattered as Academy had taken their
chances and finished well, which Birkdale never did.
The second half was far closer and finished 2-0 to Academy leaving an overall score of 6-0 to Academy.On a positive note Birkdale never let their heads drop and at times played some
good football Â
