| Result: | Birkdale S (3) Southport Yellow (0) |
A fantastic display from Birkdale S against a good Southport Yellow side that came to defend in numbers and force Birkdale to break them down.The break through came from O’Neill who took his huge throw from the corner flag. The Southport keeper saved the throw but unfortunately dropped it into his goal to make it 1-0 to Birkdale.From the kick off, Birkdale again was having attack after attack with Casterton, Flatts and O’Neill in midfield running the game and Welford up top causing the Southport defence all sorts of problems. The second goal came after a great pass from Casterton to Welford on the edge of the box. He went towards goal and with O’neill all alone on the far post everyone was shouting for the pass but Welford easily spun around the two defenders and cooly slotted the ball into the goal making it 2-0 to Birkdale.
The second half again was all birkdale with Southport never really troubling  the defence of Huyton and Saywer. With five minutes left Birkdale’s 3rd and Welford’s 11th of the season came from another O`Neill throw to Casterton who flicked the ball backwards and Welford headed the ball into the top corner.
