Admission Free
Att 30-40 est
Distance Travelled 29 miles
Thornton and Cleveleys are in the Wyre district of Lancashire and forms part of the Blackpool urban area .
New Bourne Park is a neat ground for this league and features a smart club house , covered standing area and large , on site car park .
Todays opponents are Lostock St Gerards - both sides have started the season slow , hovering near the bottom of the league .
Thornton settle quickly without producing any early attempts on goal . LSG gradually find their stride but go behind to a smartly taken free kick which clears the two smallest players in their wall , dipping into the far corner of the net . Cleveleys keeper made a stunning save low to his left post just before the interval . Not much between the two sides at half time with Cleveleys holding their narrow 1-0 advantage .
LSG look more dangerous after the re-start and equalise with a spot kick blasted into the centre of the roof of the net . Thornton , looking desultory , are gifted a goal when a hopeful ball over the top alluded the LSG defence allowing a forward to steal in and score past the indecisive advancing keeper .
The second goal gave Cleveleys the impetus and confidence to push forward having looked devoid of ideas and out-played for most of the second half . LSG managed to get back on the front foot but failed to find the illusive equaliser they deserved .
