| Location: | Bedford Park, Birkdale |
| Result: | Birkdale Diamonds (2) Crosby Stuart Youth (0) |
After a long lay off due to the bad weather and Christmas the girls were raring to go . A wet start to the day meant the pitch was perfect for football. The game started at a fast pace with both sides keen on winning the ball .Chances were few and far between with both sides cancelling each other out, with Birkdale maybe edging it.
The second half began as the first half did with Birkdale keen on winning the ball and starting to dominate the play The home side had many shots on goal, the best were from Elliot , Edmondson and Molyneux . The pressure continued and resulted in a corner which lead to a goal mouth scramble which Edmondson converted from close range to put the home side a goal to the good.
The pressure did not ease up from the home side and as a result of this a fantastic solo run from her own half saw Core score in the bottom left hand corner. The Crosby girls were understandably deflated by this, but tried their best to get back into the game. Unfortunately for them, the Diamonds were in particularly resolute mood today. It was a great result for the girls after all that time off, well done to both teams for a great game of football.
Player of the match : All the girls !
