Finally a game that went ahead in February as the Reds traveled across to Jericho Lane with thanks to our sponsor Yorkshire Rose Coaches
A blustery day with hardly a cloud in the sky greeted them, but by line up time the clouds were gathering and the Team huddled together
1' Lissa Woodhouse kicks off and gets the game underway
10' Both sides are looking to get the ball down and play. The Reds are just starting to assert their dominance and look dangerous playing balls in behind the Feds' defence.
11' Lissa Woodhouse picks up the ball in midfield and gets a shot away early. The wind made it difficult for the keeper to judge but the shot went just wide. (0-0)
14' Lissa Woodhouse chases down a ball over the top and manages to get a low cross into the box. Drew Greene was there for a tap in but the keeper smothers it. (0-0)

32' Kathryn Smith gets stuck in and steals the ball just outside Liverpool Feds' box. Lissa Woodhouse hits a snapshot that goes wide. (0-0)
