Wirral Senior Cup Final
Heswall 0 - West Kirby 1

John Brett manager of West Kirby FC.

Matty Cass and West Kirby players celebrate after his shot is deflected for the winning goal.

Luck favoured West Kirby in this hard fought Wirral Senior Cup Final. It is fair to say that Heswall had the majority of possession but couldn't convert their few chances, including a scrambled clearance off the goal line by the West Kirby defence. Goalless at half time, West Kirby played better after the break and fortune favoured their attacking ambition via an own goal from a deflected Matty Cass shot.

Liam Atherton holds the trophy

West Kirby 3 - Runcorn Town 2

Paul Casey's goal against Runcorn Town.

Matty Cass's second goal against Runcorn Town.

Matty Cass's penalty against Runcorn Town.

West Kirby came from behind to win this championship decider. Runcorn took the lead midway through the first half from open play after penalties were awarded and well taken by both teams. Matty Cass scored the West Kirby penalty. Runcorn restricted West Kirby to very few chances and went into the half time break 2-1 up. West Kirby scored almost from the kick off with a headed goal from Matty Cass to level the scores. West Kirby created more chances and went ahead from a corner by Paul Casey which went directly into the goal. Runcorn kept up the pressure on West Kirby - who found more space as Runcorn pressed for another goal, but West Kirby ran out worthy winners.

Blacon Youth Club 0 - West Kirby 2

Chris Barrow's goal against Blacon Youth Club.

West Kirby welcomed back their dual strike force of Chris Barrow and Liam Atherton and played the best football of the first half. The two goals came from Kyle Jones (photographer deleted it by mistake,oops!) and Chris Barrow. Two disallowed goals prevented Chris Barrow from getting a hat trick, as West Kirby shut up shop to secure all three points.

New Brighton 1 - West Kirby 1

Lee Cairns scrambled goal against West Kirby.

A poor performance from West Kirby against a determined New Brighton side - who had manager Jason Aldcroft sent off midway through the second half. A wrongly - in our opinion - disallowed goal frustrated West Kirby who saw New Brighton take the lead late on in the second half. A final push from West Kirby rescued a point through a goal claimed by Lee Cairns.

Saturday Result
West Kirby 1 - Poulton Victoria 1

Paul Casey's goal against Poulton Victoria.

Snowstorm during the match with Poulton Victoria

West Kirby dropped two points in atrocious conditions, not helped by a series of bad misses in the first half. Paul Casey scored West Kirby's goal and also hit the crossbar with a fine shot. Surviving a disputed penalty, well saved by 'keeper Bobby Mclaughlan, West Kirby couldn't create second half opportunities against Poulton Victoria, a wicked swirling wind and a snowstorm.

West Kirby 1 - Vauxhall Motors Reserves 1

Poulton Victoria 2 - West Kirby 3 After Extra Time

Andy Barker scores West kirby's fist goal following up Paul Casey's free kick

Andy Bolton's goal against Poulton Victoria.

Matty Cass's penalty and third goal against Poulton Victoria.

A lacklustre display from West Kirby saw Poulton Victoria have the most of the possession over 90 minutes. Poulton Victoria opened the scoring and West Kirby left it late before Andy Barker followed up a free kick by Paul Casey to score the equaliser and take the game into extra time. A superb effort from Andy Bolton gave West Kirby the lead in the first period of extra time and with Poulton Victoria pushing hard to equalise a quick break by Paul Casey saw him brought down in the penalty area, Matty Cass scoring the resultant penalty. Poulton Victoria pulled one back just before the end, resulting in an anxious final 2 minutes for West Kirby before the final whistle.

West Kirby Reserves 0 - Poulton Victoria Reserves 1

One of the few chances West Kirby Reserves had against Poulton Victoria Reserves

Poulton Victoria Reserves took all three points from a hard fought game after scoring from a debatable penalty early in the first half. Both West Kirby's goalkeepers (a substitute in the second half) made good saves to keep the score down as the forwards were unable to take the chances that came their way.

Saturday 23 February 2008
Grange Athletic 1 - West Kirby Reserves 0

Saturday 9 February
West Kirby 2 - Aintree Villa 1

This was a very very poor game. West Kirby struggled to get going as the visitors fought for every ball, taking a one goal lead. Manager John Brett's tactical changes saw West Kirby move to a three man defence with centre half Lee Gibson pushed into the attack. This paid off as they equalised through Matty Cass and a late winner 10 minutes from the end by Lee Gibson, a brave diving header through many feet. After this Aintree Villa lost their composure and had 2 men sent off, both for 2nd bookable offences.

Saturday 9 February
Fairfield Athletic 1 - West Kirby Reserves 2

West Kirby Reserves gained a well deserved win against a hardworking and well organised Fairfield team.

Saturday 2 February 2008
Christleton Reserves 0 - West Kirby Reserves 1

This was a low key performance from West Kirby Reserves after last week's superb win. A touch of class came from man of the match Paul Stevenson, who scored the winning goal. Excellent performances from Christleton's right back and goalkeeper restricted West Kirby reserves to the one goal scoreline.

Saturday 26 January 2008
West Kirby Reserves 1 - 0 Heswall Reserves 0

Rob Stewart's goal against Heswall Reserves.

West Kirby Reserves held out for a win after a very hard game against Heswall Reserves. Playing with the wind at their backs in the first half, West Kirby forwards and defenders pushed up to take advantage of the long ball held up in the wind. Rob Stewart scored for West Kirby from an excellent free kick floated into the six yard area which drifted over the Heswall keeper. Heswall Reserves were the dominant team in the second half missing a series of chances, as did the West Kirby Reserves' forwards. However West Kirby Reserves held out for a very good result.

___________________________________________________________
Saturday 26 January 2008
Ellesmere Port 0 - West Kirby 4

A hard fought goalless first half against battling Ellesmere Port - who made it difficult for West Kirby's forwards. After the break West Kirby came out more determinedly and started to take control. The first goal came from a Chris Barrow goal bound effort which was handled on the line by a defender, the resulting penalty was scored by Matty Cass. West Kirby then took complete control against 10 man Ellesmere with further goals from Liam Atherton 2 and a screamer from substitute Terry Cotgrave. Only a series of magnificent saves from Ellesmere Port's keeper kept the score at 4.

Chris Barrow's second goal v Marine Reserves.

Liam Atherton's goal v Marine Reserves.

This was a satisfying win against a very well organised Marine Reserves side. Restricted to a one goal lead at half time - through Chris Barrow, a Matty Cass penalty provided the platform for Liam Atherton and Chris Barrow to complete the scoring and reflect West Kirby's dominance.

A game dominated by West Kirby, taking 24 minutes to break down Ashville's dogged resistance. Credit must be given to Ashville who kept working hard all game but who were no match for the West Kirby forwards. Goals came from Lee Cairns 1, Liam Atherton 2 and 3 from Chris Barrow, his second goal a delicate lob and his third pure power from a striker on fire. It could and should have been double figures in the end.

Saturday 5 January 2008
Maghull Reserves 1 - West Kirby Reserves 1

A hard fought game against a very good Maghull reserve side, which could have gone either way. West Kirby Reserves took the lead through a goal by Mike Docherty only for Maghull Reserves to equalise in the second half. A pleasing result and testament to West Kirby Reserves' progress.

The game also saw a welcome return to Chris Barrow up front. Credit has to be given to Blacon Youth Club for the way they kept trying to the end of the 90 minutes, despite having a man sent off 10 minutes from the end.

Saturday 22 December 2007
Capenhurst Villa 2 West Kirby Reserves 1

West Kirby Reserves took the lead in the first half before Capenhurst Vila pegged them back and scored an equaliser at the end of the first half. Capenhurst scored their winner 15 minutes from the end of the second half. There was disappointment at the commitment of members of the West Kirby reserve squad as the managers were unable to bring on any substitutes to change the game, having only 11 players in total for the game. West Kirby Reserves' goal was scored by Wayne Hulse.

Saturday 15 December 2007
West Kirby Reserves 1 - Mallaby 0

Mike Docherty's winning goal against Mallaby.

An evenly matched first half saw West Kirby Reserves take the lead via a free kick, with Mike Docherty beating the goalkeeper to the ball which then looped into the goal. The second half saw Mallaby have more of the ball and possession and although chances fell to both sides a series of goal line blocks and clearances by defenders on both sides prevented any further goals.

However Newton fought back, after having a man sent off for a high two footed tackle, to score their goal towards the end of the game.

West Kirby 8 - Castrol Social 0

A good game played in awful conditions at Marine Park. A penalty for West Kirby, scored by Matty Cass, opened the scoring as both sets of players struggled to master the heavy pitch. Further goals from Lee Cairns and Paul Casey meant West Kirby went in 3 - 0 up at half time. After the break two goals from Lee Cairns gave him his hat trick and Matty Cass added a second to take his tally to two, with Liam Atherton scoring two more to take West Kirby to the top of the league.

In the second half Newton continued to press until the third West Kirby goal went in - a cracking shot from the edge of the area by J.P. Stanhope.
