15s (Sunday) 2 - Ashville Youth 1

Today we played Ashville Youth (Liverpool) in the first round of the Cheshire County Cup and came away with a hard fought 2-1 win. In the first half we took the lead after Jack was fouled in the penalty box and Danny stepped up to slot home, and this was how it stayed until half time. Second half much the same as the first with both teams having limited chances and eventually Ashville drew level with a fine strike from outside the box, which hit the underside of the cross bar and the referee adjudged it had crossed the line (no need for goal line technology at our level). We made a few substitutions with Ted on the left creating problems for Ashville and eventually got his just rewards slotting home from inside the six yard box after battling his way through with about five minutes left to play. Another good display today, we just need to working harder and holding onto the ball upfront. Something for training on Thursday.

Scorers: Danny, Ted
