Presidents Cup winners AFC Brigg receive the trophy from League President Eamonn McNamara Two goals from Man-of-the Match Jake Bolton secured the Presidents Cup for division 2 side AFC Brigg against their opponents Wilbraham Wanderers from division 4. The game got off to a flying start when Wilbraham took the lead in the 3rd minute through Joseph Sowerby who showed some neat skills to round his opponent and finish into the corner of the net. It took AFC Brigg until the 35th minute to level the scores when Bolton headed home from close range and they took the lead from another header three minutes later from Mark Wilmer. Plenty of pressure from both sides in the second half and the respective keepers Rob Hindle (AFC Brigg) and Neil Blackburn (Wilbraham) were kept busy. AFC Brigg had a chance to put the game to bed in the 64th minute when they were awarded a penalty but Rob Glover fired wide. The final goal came in the 84th minute by that man Jake Bolton who blasted home a free kick from all of 35 yards and it was worthy of winning any cup final. The game was well handled by referee Mark Atherton and his assistants Dave Hesketh, Sam Almond and Keith Hesketh. The final was attended by a an enthusiastic crowd of 450 at Bamber Bridge FC and the trophy was presented to AFC Brigg’s captain Rob Hindle by League President Eamonn McNamara. The division 1 game played under lights at the Sports Arena finished AC Muldoons 1-3 Fishwick Rangers. Monday March 8, 2010 Boots For Africa
The League is supporting the Boots for Africa campaign Boots for Africa in conjunction with Unibond League club Burscough FC who have two teams in our youth section. The purpose of the scheme is to improve the life of youngsters who are less fortunate than our own. If you or anyone you know has a pair of old boots that they can donate, please let us have them. There is a distribution network throughout Africa which has already arranged to send boots to communities in South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana and Zambia. Every pair of boots that are donated will be received in Africa by a young person who has never had a pair of football boots. All we ask is that each pair of boots is clean and tied together and size of boots written on a label. Please bring your boots to the League Meeting on Monday 22 March 2010 or contact Eamonn McNamara on 01772 864466 for further information. Sunday March 7, 2010 BAC/EE Preston book final place after an epic semi-final.
BAC/EE keeper Andrew Beattie saved two spot kicks to earn his team a place in the Youth Trophy Final Youth premier division side BAC/EE Preston booked their place in the Syndicate Trust Youth Trophy Final after beating Brigg FC (youth div 1 blues) after extra time and penalties in a magnificent semi-final at Preston Sports Arena and they will now meet Poulton Town in the final at Bamber Bridge FC on Wednesday 28 April. Brigg were the better team in the first half and they opened the scoring through Barry Pryce with a bullet shot in the 19th minute. BAC drew level in the 44th minute when Mututu Chilufya made the most of a goalmouth scramble but Brigg restored their lead virtually from the restart when the dangerous Pryce made the most of a defensive mix up to nip in and score. BAC looked the sharper in the second half but it took until the 75th minute to draw level through Rob Lawrenson and they took the lead in the 12th minute of extra time through a Jack Hardman free kick only for Tom McDonnell to coolly level matters with six minutes of extra time remaining. The penalty shoot out ended 4-3 in BAC’s favour with Scott Lawrenson, Jack Hardman, Tom Lawrenson and Kieran Baxendale scoring their spot kicks and Barry Pryce, Dan Davis and Tom McDonnell scoring for Brigg. This game was a credit to both clubs and to the league.
