Westmorland County FA v Cheshire County FA on Saturday 7 January 2012 at Dallam School, Milnthorpe
Westmorland Under 18’s played the latest game on the 3G pitch at Dallam School following heavy midweek rain.
Cheshire opened the scoring on 5 minutes when Jordan Dwyers left foot ted shot found its way past home keeper Thomas Jackson. The home keeper was kept in action saving well on three occasions before Cheshire increased their lead on 37 minutes when Kieran Coleman shot home a cross from the right.
This was against the run of play the home side enjoying their last spell of the game which saw Ryan Close’s shot well saved.
Half-Time: Westmorland County FA 0 Cheshire County FA 2
Having played so well in the latter stages of the first half against the wind, the expectations of the home side were great, however, this was short lived as the visitors dominated long periods of the second half, Jackson making great saves on several occasions, and scored three more goals – a looping header from Jamie Parker on 70 minutes, Kyle Smith headed home a cross from the left on 80 minutes and a Josh Harrison penalty a minute from time.
Home keeper Jackson had an outstanding game and was easily the man of the match.
The Westmorland team now look forward to the game against Cumberland in two weeks time.
