Hindley Juniors Athletic - 3 v U12 - 4
Billinge played away to Hindley Juniors Athletic this week and took an early lead after some great work by debut striker Darius D was followed up and finished by Sam B-F. Darius himself then made the score 2-0 and Billinge were well in control.
Hindley were awarded a dubious penalty late in the half which was put wide leaving the half time score at 2-0 to Billinge.
Hindley came flying out of the blocks for the second half and quickly pulled one back. 5 minutes later Hindley were awarded their second dodgy penalty of the day which was this time converted to make the score 2-2. Billinge were obviously deflated and Hindley pressed on and took a 3-2 lead midway through the second half.
At this point Billinge showed their true fighting spirit. They drew level with a second goal from Darius, took the game to Hindley and then won it with 5 minutes to spare with a fierce long range goal from Russell A.
