KJFC fought their way back into the game with Elliot Smith, Daniel Pettigrew, Ritchie Hall and Callum Fidling all working hard in midfield harassing the opposition and beginning to set up more attacks. Declan powered in the equaliser, but the Poulton keeper was very good and managed to keep the score to 1-1 at half time. KJFC started much the better team with the Poulton goal under constant attack by Josh Pownall, Daniel Robertson and Elliot Smith, all of them having some great efforts. Against the run of play Poulton managed to score a second but Callum Fidling banged in the equaliser. KJFC played the better football but were up against one of the best Keeper's seen this season who single-handedly managed to keep KJFC at bay.

South Shore 2-2 Kirkham Juniors Matt Walwyn made his reappearance for Kirkham playing up front alongside Joe Brown. Kirkham dominated, taking the lead on ten minutes when Brown hit a low shot into the corner, and although South Shore rarely threatened at all in the first half, Kirkham should have gone in with a bigger lead than 1-0. It was a different tale after the break, and Kirkham struggled, but just before the hour they had a 2-0 advantage after Walwyn was brought down by the keeper, but got up to put away the spot kick. South Shore still looked threatening, and could do nothing about a shot into the top corner three minutes from time. With the last attack of the game, a South Shore forward hammered the ball into the net seconds before the ref blew the whistle for full time. |
