Match 65

Lytham Town 4 Haslingden St Marys 1
Att 30 est
Admission Free
Distance Travelled 17 miles
Lytham ( St Annes ) is a conurbation in the Fylde district of Lancashire just South of Blackpool and North of Preston . It's better known as a seaside resort , for its open championship golf and cricket . If you approach along the coast road you will notice a restored windmill , close by is a Lifeboat museum . Fishing and shrimping were the main source of employment until the advent of tourism . The nearby BAC systems in Warton has helped sustain Lytham as one of Lancashires wealthiest areas .
The Football ground is located off Ballam Road just outside the Town Centre . A small car park leads to a covered terrace , bar .and spacious playing pitch . I had to park further up the road in another car park and walk the short distance down the main road ..
As you can see from the photo they're a cheeky lot in a friendly way - thought the Ballam Road End sign was worth the visit in itself . As for the match - both teams are near the bottom and the first half was very tight . Lytham punished St Marys after the restart and ran out easy winners in the end .
Theres a narrow entrance - far side - leading from the car park .
