Location:        Bedford Park, Birkdale
Result:  Birkdale Diamonds (4) Bleak Hill (0)

A friendly game was arranged against Bleak Hill from Saint Helens.With a game on Sunday, the team was mixed around to try out new potitions the girls started very brightly with Welford on the right and Core in centre midfield having some good positions between them.The girls attacked Bleak Hill on many occasions with Molyneux up front causing them big problems. And it was Molyneux who got the first when she got on the end of a great ball that was worked from defence making it 1-0 to Birkdale. From the restart Birkdale again passed the ball around with Hubbard, Grey-Smith ,Welford  and Core having shots go close before Hubbard put one in from distance to make it 2-0 at half time.

The second half Elliot, Mentha and Cunliffe came on for Grocott, Armstrong and Core and as the first half Birkdale dominated the game with many more shots on goal but for the very brave Bleak Hill keeper who did very well to save many of the shots before Elliot shot from 20 yards out to make it 3-0. Not long after that Molyneux got her second to make it 4-0.
 
Well done Birkdale for a great game of football and a huge thanks to Tommy and all the Bleak Hill girls who kept going till the end. Good luck for the rest of the season
 
Player of the Match was C. Molyneux.
