| Location: | Bedford Park, Birkdale |
| Result: | Birkdale United (1) Burscough (0) |
The start of the game had Burscough nearly grabbing an early goal but Birkdale quickly got into their game and kept getting the ball up into the Burscough box. A few tussles in the box but no-one could get their foot behind it to get it into the back of the Burscough net. After a great run by Birkdale it looked like we were going to score but the ball just went past the post. Burscough then had a couple of good chances but our goalkeeper made a couple of brilliant saves and kept the score 0-0 at half time.
Going into the second half, the teams were quite equal so the match could either way. The girls continued to battle hard and Birkdale had more chances than Burscough but it was a lucky goal that finally took Birkdale into the lead. The Birkdale girls continued to put pressure on Burscough, though Burscough had a good shot in the last few minutes that had us holding our breaths.
Final score 1-0 to Birkdale. It was a good game by both teams, well done girls.
Player of the match: C. Carney – played a great game!
