UNDER 14 CRAVEN MINOR LEAGUE

Sunday the 20th of November 2011(2pm).  Altcar Road, Formby.

Formby vs. AFC Liverpool (Abandoned)

The under 14’s had a league game this weekend and travelled to Altcar Road to face Formby FC U14 and got underway with a much changed starting eleven.

The first half began with AFC pressing the Formby back four which eventually saw them waste numerous early chances. Tom Kelleher made several good challengers and passes to help take control of what was becoming a very scrappy game in midfield and the central defensive pair of Ross Bailey and Dave White dealt well with some long and high Formby clearances. The heavy conditions made passing difficult and the AFC lads struggled to read the pitch and over hit a number of a passes but they did get the forward pair of Luke Banks and Josh Wright beyond the defence only for them to be denied by the on rushing Formby keeper.

What seemed initially to be an innocuous knee twist for a Formby player whilst he ran for the ball brought the game to a halt for over 40 minutes as first aid was administrated and medical assistance called for what looked like a very unfortunate and unlucky injury.

After the pitch was cleared and the ambulance had departed the referee called both sides into the centre circle and officially abandoned the game with the full backing of both teams.

We wish the player a full and speedy recovery and would like to thank all those who helped administrated first aid and make him as comfortable as possible, particularly Paul Nield our under 14’s coach.
