South Liverpool’s recent good form banishes relegation worries

If it’s goals that you’re looking for then watching South Liverpool’s first team should be your favourite team as there have been 150 goals scored in their matches this season at an average of over four goals per game.

Three league wins from their last four games has moved them comfortably into mid-table and has meant that they can finish only as low as third to bottom and realistically avoid the possibility of relegation.

The best recent performance was undoubtedly the 4-1 home win over Bacup Borough exacting revenge for the exit from the League Cup only 10 days earlier. Four days later another four goals put paid to struggling Daisy Hill while two weeks after that another four goals saw off Garstang.

Disappointingly, having reached the quarter finals of both league cups, the team exited both at the same stage, deservedly so against Bacup Borough but agonisingly so against Abbey Hulton United when a last minute equaliser saw our opponents score with their only shot on target and then winning on penalties.

The club’s reserve side have only been beaten once in the last eleven league games and have climbed up to fifth in the table. The recent highlight was a 4-2 win at the league leaders Poulton Vics. The club’s third team are unbeaten in the league since August with a run of fourteen games which has brought the team into promotion contention for. And with two games against both Hooton and Higher Bebington Kelma, two of their promotion rivals, still to come, there is still the chance of a top two place.

The club’s Sunday Veterans team remain top of their division in the Cheshire Veterans League with a 100% record and only need to beat Tintwistle and Baguley at home to clinch the title.
