AFC Liverpool vs. Redgate Rovers (26,02,2012)


Sunday (26,02,2012) OK 14:00hrs.

Sandy Lane, Lydiate.

Craven Minor Under 14
AFC Liverpool vs. Redgate Rovers

The under fourteens welcomed Redgate Rovers to their home ground at Sandy Lane in Lydiate on Sunday afternoon for the first of consecutive fixtures between the two clubs because of previously postponed games.

The first half was a one way affair with AFC pushing the ball about as much as possible and using the width of the pitch at every opportunity to keep Redgate pinned within their own half for most of the period. Goals from Tom Kelleher and Decal Williams separated the teams at half time but that didn’t tell the entire story as with slightly more precision, composure and at times luck the score line at the midpoint should have shown more for AFC.

Half Time; AFC Liverpool (2) vs. Redgate Rovers (0)

AFC continued in the same pattern of play as in the first half but unlike that period the AFC lads looked to take advantage of any goal scoring opportunities that could fall their way, which they did. Goals from Josh Wright, Josh Wilkinson and Dave White (2) added four to the score line without reply despite a spirited display from Redgate.

It was a very controlled and positive performance from the under fourteen lads that set down a marker for what should be a very interesting game next weekend for the repeat fixture at Redgate Rovers home ground (Duke Street Park, Formby).

Full Time; AFC Liverpool (6) vs. Redgate Rovers (0)
