Birkdale 1 v U13's 1
This game was dominated from start to finish by Billinge and we suffered the ignomy of conceding a goal from a hopeful free kick creeping in at the far post after 25 minutes.
Add to that woeful defending gifting Birkdale three or four clear cut chances failing to clear a falling ball and seven or eight other chances with all going directly at the keeper, the scoreline flattered Birkdale at the end.
Ben Linge came on at half time and was excellent linking up play well and looking stronger than last year and he capped a fine 35 minutes performance with the equaliser.
This came with ten minutes to go and was no more than the boys deserved they were told at half time to cut out the mistakes as we had given Birkdale their chances and at the other end to be more clinical and get the ball wide as early as possible.
The result was a great second half performance and the boys were extremely disappointed not to come away with an away win and all three points.
Alex was again excellent in goal and he looks a great prospect.
