Penalty heartache

a very lethargic performance from Ashton Athletic coupled with a very spirited performace from our visitors resulted in us going out of the LancashireFA cup in a penalty shoot out the game finishing 0-0 after the regulation 90 minutes.

a below par performance seen Ashton waste numerous amounts of good possession and it was only after the introduction of James Rushton Woods and Mike Downing that we started to play anything like we did on Saturday against Stone. The visitors effort however could not be faulted with a number of there players going down with cramp during the last 10 minutes of the game, a result of the hardwork they had put in to deny us any space and time on the ball were it mattered in the last third of the pitch.All though Atherton never really provided a serious goal threat you have to admire and praise them for there workrate and effort... we wish them well in the draw for the next round.

In all a disappointing night and one we need to get out of our system very quickly before we travel to Squires Gate on Saturday in a NWCFL fixture.
