Neston entertained their counterparts from Nortern at Stanney. On the coldest afternoon of the year so far Neston started well and with debutant Tom Honeybourne getting lots of ball in midfield looked for an early goal. A near miss from Scott Barry nearly put Neston in the lead but it was the visitors on a rare attack scored first. Neston went looking for an equaliser and substitute James Fennah (recently arrived from a school match in Liverpool) scored his first of the season. Sam Dewey continued to push from midfield and Greg Chester started to move forward from defence but the score was still 1-1 at half time. The second half started with Neston again on the attack, but Northern looked dangerous on the break and Sophie Bezant in goal was called upon to make a number of saves. A poorly defended short corner led to Northern scoring again. Neston immediately went looking for an equaliser and Syd Roberts pushed the ball home to level the scores. Both sides had their chances to win the game and Sophie made a crucial save in the last minute to keep Northern out and the final score 2-2.
Man (lady) of the match Sophie Bezant for a number of excellent saves in the second half.
Neston team - Sophie Bezant, Alex Greenhalf, Peter Harrison, Chris James, Greg Chester, Greg Hughes, Tom Fisher, Syd Roberts, Tom Honeybourne, Sam Dewey, James Fennah, Ben Crane, Scott Barry, Harry Sanguinetti
