Tonight’s game was between two teams safely sitting in the higher mid table positions in the league, with 5th hosting 7th. Lymm hit the post and St. Helens had an effort come back off the crossbar early on, but it was the hosts that broke the deadlock just before halftime, when a miss kick by the ‘keeper, following a back pass, led to an easy finish from 12 yards. Goal number two came eight minutes into the second half, with an angled shot into the corner and the scoring was rounded off in stoppage time, when a fumbled cross by the ‘keeper was tapped in from close range to make it 3-0.

Home to Lymm Rovers is the 3G pitch at Lymm High School. A typical cage set up, with spectator access along three quarters of one side and a pair of portable dugouts, placed on opposite touchlines. A good display of flags from the St. Helens contingent adorned one goal end, which is an indicator of their more illustrious past. They were inaugural members of the North West Counties League and were F.A. Vase winners at Wembley Stadium back in 1987, where they beat Warrington Town 3-2 in the final.
