AFC Blackpool Stretch Unbeaten Run to 7 Games

AFC stretched their unbeaten run to 7 games following a hard fought 1-1 draw at home to Glossop North End.

It was very even matched encounter but the visitors took the lead on 55 minutes.  AFC fought back well and got a well deserved equaliser through a spectacular overhead kick form Michael Newsham with just 5 minutes left to play.

AFC Blackpool are now 8th in the North West Counties Premier Division with 21 points from 16 games.

Squires Gates lost 2-1 away at Winsford and are 19th in the table with just 4 wins from 13 starts.

AFC Blackpool are at home again on Tuesday evening when they entertain Burscough in the first round of the Lancashire Challenge Trophy and again next Saturday when they play Norton United in the First Round Proper of the FA Vase.

Squires Gate FC are at home on Tuesday evening in league action against Barnoldswick Town and then away on Saturday at Abbey Hey - also in the NWCFL Premier Division.
