Match Report

Woolton 0 - 4 Flixton FC

NWCFL First Division North | Simpsons Sports Ground

We made it four consecutive league wins with an impressive 4-0 victory away at Woolton, with Lewis Byrne hitting a hat-trick on a memorable night for our number nine.

The evening began with an early setback when Isaac Graham was forced off through injury after 10 minutes, with Uche Chinohso Eze coming on in his place.

It took Eze just three minutes to make an impact. He found the net in the 13th minute to put us ahead before Lewis Byrne doubled the advantage just three minutes later.

Byrne struck again deep into first-half stoppage time to send us into the break with a commanding 3-0 lead.

We continued to control the game after the restart and Byrne completed his hat-trick in the 66th minute, adding our fourth and putting the result beyond doubt.

We were reduced to ten men four minutes later when Eze was shown a second yellow card, but we saw out the remainder of the game to secure a 4-0 victory and a clean sheet.

Hat-Trick Hero

It was a standout night for Lewis Byrne, who found the net in the 16th, 45+3 and 66th minutes to complete his hat-trick.
