NWCFL: Gate Beat The Weather

Squires Gate FC overcame the bad weather that led to neighbours AFC Blackpool's game being postponed due to a waterlogged pitch but were unable to hold out against second placed Padiham.

The visitors made most of the running but Gate defended resolutely and it looked as if they might hold on for a well deserved point. The breakthrough came after 67 minutes and a second goal on 90 minutes seemed almost unfair on a Gate side who battled so well throughout.

Squires Gate are at home again next Saturday 16th February in a NWCFL Premier Division match against bottom team Stone Dominos.

AFC Blackpool travel away to Padiham next Saturday in the 3rd round of the NWCFL Challenge Cup.
