AFC Liverpool v Lower Breck, 26th December 2018
The first ever Derby against Lower Breck took place against the backdrop of the sad death of club statistician Don Steele. Don who had been an AFC Suppoter for about a couple of years died on Christmas Eve. This was just a month after the sudden death of Joint Manager Ben Williams. On leaving the turnstile, I grabbed a coffee and headed out to join our other supporters behind the goal at the far end. The visitors had been having the best of things apparently. A loose ball from Lower Breck was picked up by Rhys Hardacre about 25 yards from goal. Hardacre then shot and got the ball beyond ex-Reds Keeper Josh Molloy to give the Reds the lead. That was on 18 minutes. From the large portion of the first half I saw, Lower Breck showed little. There was one effort which was spilled by our Keeper Lee Carr. Thankfully, we got away with that one. When Lower Breck did get level on 32 minutes, it was from the penalty spot. The challenge which got them that penalty was needless. Other opportunities...
