Wyre Villa 0 Milnthorpe Corinthians 1 Att 30 ish three dogs



A gentle stroll down the road to see West Lancashire League game between the home side and their visitors from deepest Cumbria and I saw a first in 50 plus years of watching football as the sin bin was used, both times it was for home side players, throw into the mix a sending off and all for the massive price of nothing.
Corinthians dominated early doors played some decent football and looked the more likely, the number 8 caused Villa lots of problems which were generally stopped by bringing him down. The visitors hit the post with a header from a corner, this seemed to wake the home side up and it took a great double save to keep the score level.
It was round about this time Villa had their first player sin binned no idea why wasn't particularly paying attention at the time, Corinthians missed another chance just on half time, shot being sliced into the car park.
Second half nothing really happened until Corinthinas hit the post again, the ball was never really cleared and the ball to the far post was put in by the number 11.
Then came some utter comedy when Villa were reduced to nine, one sent off and the other into the sin bin, the sending off was for placing the ball two centimetres in the wrong place for a free kick, the sin bin was for comments made after the red card was issued.
In the gathering gloom Corinthians could not really capitalise on numerical advantage and the home side sensed a chance sadly for them they could not force a goa ad the visitors ran out as just about deserved winners.
