ACTION REPLAY

CHARNOCK RICHARD 3-1 SQUIRES GATE

It was Squires Gate who broke the deadlock though on 19 minutes. Right-back Isaac Abankwah broke away down the wing, finding Rowan Chambers in the box who finished clinically for his first Gate goal.

Two minutes into stoppage time of the first half the hosts were level. A corner was flicked to the back post, where a cross-shot deflected off Haydock and into the top corner.

Just 5 minutes later, Charnock turned the game on its head to take the lead. A ball in the box was headed back across goal to Brad Carsley, with the clinical striker making no mistake from close range The hosts started the second half on top, with an effort inside the first two minutes deflecting into the arms of Hogarth, before the goalkeeper was on hand to deny Carsley a second after he broke in behind the Gate defence.

It was Charnock though who got the all important next goal on 64 minutes, with a pinpoint cross from the right headed into the top corner by Luke Power. Charnock’s third goal killed the game off, with the hosts controlling the game and Gate unable to keep any consistent possession of the ball.
