AJ Cooke Trophy – Semi Final

Winnington 1 – 2 Lostock Reserves AET

Lostocks second string made their 2nd final in a week after a hard fought victory after extra time against the much improved Winnington Avenue. The volume of games is starting to take it’s toll on Lostock, and they were short on bodies and energy in a first half in which Winnington took the lead. Lostock improved after the break and Izzard popped up with an equaliser to take the game to extra time, and Mike Clarke made sure the game didn’t progress to penalties with a late winner for the visitors.

Tarporley Reserves 1 – 1 Lostock Gralam Res

Lostock missed out on the chance to go top of the league against the much improved Tarporley. Their cause wasn’t helped by playing most of the match with 10 men following the dismissal of Wakefield, but Byrning’s goal was enough to move them a point from the top with 3 games to go.

Lostock Res 1 - 3 Bentley.

Lostock made a hugely disappointing start to the new season with a home reversal against an average Bentley side. Dom Johns opening the scoring for Lostock and it looked as though they would have a simple victory, but overconfidence crept into their play and Smith was guilty of complacency as he conceded a penalty just before the half to take the sides level at Half Time.
