Fleetwood Reserves
4 Bamber Bridge 0:
Lancit Haulage Lancashire League
18th April 2008
Goal: FTFC – Ashley Dunn, Chris Watkinson 2, Anthony
Warwick
Town cruised to an easy victory to maintain their League
title hopes. Mike Hale in the Town goal was never tested
as he had one of his easiest games of the season.
Fleetwood never really had to exert themselves but had
to wait until the 30th minute to open their account for
the evening. Good build up play involving Lennie Reid
and Chris Watkinson allowed Ashley Dunn to have a shot
on goal, his deflected shot giving the Bamber keeper no
chance. The home side quickly doubled the score when
Watkinson crashed a shot past the motionless keeper.
The second half followed a similar pattern with
Fleetwood carving open their visitors at will. Warren
Beattie and Dunn were in total control of the midfield
with Beattie, in particular, making some glorious
passes. Reid and Anthony Warwick on the flanks were the
main beneficiaries of Beattie's probing passes but it
was his midfield partner Dunn who put Watkinson in to
make it three nil with half an hour to go. Watkinson had
numerous chances to get his hat trick, but it was left
to Warwick to finish the game off in style when he
skipped round the keeper and walked the ball into the
empty net.
With Workington beating Leigh 3-1 nothing changes at the
top of the table. Fleetwood will have to beat the
Cumbrians twice to win the League. The first of these
head to head meetings is this coming Monday, April 21st,
when Fleetwood are the hosts. Town have not forgotten
some of the comments made by the Workington players
after their narrow cup win last month and are sure to
give Workington's youngsters a run for their money.
Team: Mike Hale, Kyle Webster ( Danny Eden 65),
Jimmy Hone, Martin Moran, Mike Tallentire, Lennie Reid,
Paul Haddow ( Jamie Wright 8) , Ashley Dunn, Chris
Watkinson, Warren Beattie and Anthony Warwick.
