Awful mix up between Halpine & Hodgson and Bailey nips in and lofts it over the keeper and in – 2-0 to @WD_CFC – mountain to climb now
— Athersley Rec FC (@AthersleyRec) August 5, 2017
41′ Bit of afters from the Rec players as they just can’t handle Gaz Lilley. Lot of pushing
— West Dids & Chorlton (@WD_CFC) August 5, 2017
42′ Somehow Gary Lilley gets a yellow for his part in it
— West Dids & Chorlton (@WD_CFC) August 5, 2017
