Kirkham Juniors 5-1 Wyre Juniors Kirkham applied the early pressure, but Wyre broke clear on 12 minutes to go 1-0 up. Kirkham stepped up their game and went all out to get back in the game and Ben turned his marker and managed to slip the ball in the back of the net to bring the game back to 1-1. Then on 24 minutes a header from Chris gave Kirkham a 2-1 lead. Kirkham started the 2nd half as they finished the first, and Ryan met headed home to go 3-1 up. Dougie had a goal disallowed on four minutes as he was adjudged to be offside. This seemed to galvanise Kirkham and we saw shots from Ryan, Jonny and George all within minutes of each other. Jonny supported George to follow up and stroke the ball into the back of the net to make it 4-1. Ryan finished off Wyre as he blasted in Kirkham's 5th goal with 3 minutes to go.

Wyre Juniors 1-3 Kirkham Juniors The pitch was both bobbly and muddy but Kirkham took the lead when Richard fed the ball to Danny then on to Sam to open his score sheet. Wyre's keeper was having an excellent game denying Kirkham several goals but there was little he could do when Danny was fouled in the box and fired the resulting. Kirkham went on to secure the match with goal no. 3 when Henry crossed for Sam to direct a strong header into the net. Kirkham conceded a goal in the final 10 minutes of the match but Kirkham proved to be the stronger team and deserved the 3 points from the final score of 3-1. All boys battled and gave 100%. Matthew and Zak gave a good performance and Austen was voted 'Man of the Match' for his commitment and determination. Under 15s:
Kirkham Juniors 1-2 Y.M.C.A. Kirkham faced their toughest task of the season so far as they took on YMCA at Warton. YM began to exert some pressure by forcing a succession of corners, and ithey took the lead in only the 7th minute. Kirkham struggled to get a foothold in the game. McCulloch, Gallagher Miller and Everett in the Kirkham midfield had to work overtime to stop the visitors from taking full control. On 18 minutes Kirkham were rewarded for their efforts when they got a deserved equalizer - as the ball bounced around the 18 yard box Mayor was on hand to smash a great shot into the roof of the net. Kirkham were now in the driving seat and poured forward in search of the lead, and YM conceded a penalty which was missed. But, as half-time approached, YM took the lead with an excellent individual goal. In the second half, honours were even and neither side really threatened as the clock ran down. The visitors nearly rubbed salt in the wound with a late effort that brought a good save from Wyke. Man of the Match award: This week the award goes to McCulloch for his tireless running in midfield.
