Connor Brennan will be a name to remember ,this lad had his second contest on Saturday ,against an opponent who beat him last time out .Most lads would have been a little bit nervous at facing someone in so short a time after a defeat ,but Connor was as cool as you like as he boxed the head of his opponent Ste Pye ,he looked like he had been boxing for years as he dominated every round ,giving the judges no choice but to declare him the winner ,well done son first of many.
Also boxing on this show was James Shaw who was up against tricky southpaw Ste Brown ,Jay got of to a good start working behind his jab and countering his much taller opponent ,the first round finished pretty even. The second and third rounds we thought jay won ,and he would have made it more convincing if he had thrown more right hands, but it wasnt to be as they gave the decision to his opponent.
This is becoming a habit for this football team of ours ,but for the 10th time this season they scored 7 goals in a game. The victims this time were Quass FC ,they must be given a pat on the back ,inspite of the score they did make agame of it ,Dean siadankay 1 and John Gladwell 2 was the score at half time.Then Dean scored 2 more John got 1 ,and Sean Preston rounded it off next game is Liverpool Arms on 13th April

Seaburns Sad Sinking
Where do i start? ,the leagues decision to play this match at swampy hill when there was a perfectly good pitch at Litherland Sports ,or the fact that as a semi final we only had 1 lines man which was a total farce ,or the fact that the referee with the whistle glued to his lips ruined what should have been a realy good game, but you no what no moaning this week just glad that we have reached another final ,yes another 1
Anyway to the game ,like i said earlier the pitch was a mess with the centre like a pond ,and with a gale blowing the length of the pitch it made hard going . Seaburn playing into the wind first half and were under the cosh from kick of but defended well for 15 mins ,they had an attack and played some slick football working the ball in to the box when 1 of their players was fouled resulting in a pen ,Basher Porter stepped up to take it but shot wide as he seemed to slip as he took it .
The lions seemed to find another gear and 10 mins later Jon Gladwell waltzed round 2 or 3 defenders before slotting in the top corner 1-0 , this spurred the lads on and again with the help of the wind we kept the ball in their half till 10 mins later johny glad headed home from 5 yds 2-0 which is how it stayed till half time.
The second half was a reversal of the first with the lions struggling to get out of their half with the wind and Seaburns good play keeping us pinned in ,10 mins in to the half Seaburn had a free kick witch was floated to the back post and headed into the back of net,2-1 .Dean lost his head at this and got sent of for screaming at the ref,still we defended well till full time
The second half saw us playing with the wind ,but with 10 men it was hard going ,as Seaburn closed down well untill a ball came out toi Maca on the left wing and from about 30 yds he hit a rocket into the top corner 3-2,mins later Seaburn scored again from a free kick again bad defending 3-3 the last 15 Seaburn turned it on and we defended for our lives , with 5 mins to go it looked like it was going to penelties until we got a corner Maca took it and somehow bent it in to the goal 4-3 which is how it stayed to the final whistle.

SALTBOX SEMI SORROWS
Sunday saw the end of Saltbox FCs season as we dumped them out of the Cannon Francis cup semi final,3-1 ,this coming two weeks after we stopped them from winning the league by the same score.It was an ill tempered game ,with some of the Saltbox players wound up and being over aggresive,if not for the weak refereeing , 2 or 3 of them should have taken the early bath ,as it happened it was only 1, [ it was 2 of them in the last game ]. J Mcshane got the first goal with a lovely glancing header at the near post ,it stayed 1-0 till the half .The second half started as the first finished with the Lions hammering at there goal but nothing would go in ,after 15 mins a Saltbox player delibratley handled in the box and a pen was awarded, up stepped Karl Sid who cooly buried the ball in the top of the net 2-0 .The game went dead after this with the Lions seeming to go to sleep ,untill Saltbox made a rare attack ,a shot from J Rainford hit a Lion player on the hand and they got a pen which they scored 2-1,this woke the lads up and they went on the rampage hitting the post twice in 5 mins until Maca slotted another one ,3-1 A couple of the Salty players lost the plot at this and 1 of them was sent of .the game finished 3-1.
We will be playing Seaburn in the final ,date to be confirmed

Lions 1Seaburn 0
Sunday 9-3 -08 -A day to remember,when we at last put 1 over Seaburn , a team who have been our bogey side for season after season.Over the years we have had some epic games against this side often coming of second best ,but this was a game our boys were determined to win .
As usual the game started at 100 miles an hour with both sides banging the tackles in, it eventualy settled down with some lovely swift passing moves from the lions .Dave Clegg was dominant in the middle of the park with his passing game ,whilst Karl Sid was his perfect foil and was not letting the Seaburn mifielders a second on the ball .
The Lions launched attack after attack until we got a corner which Penno swung into the near post where ,Maca flicked it into the top corner 1-0 .There was a few attacks from Seaburn but they were dealt with easely by a solid back 4 captained by Lee Sid ,a mention must go to Seaburns keeper who was outstanding and saved them from a good hiding , 2 games to go, win them and the Lions will be crowned champs.
Next game SEMI FINAL AGAINST SALTBOX LITHERLAND SPORTS PARK 16-3-08 12-45KO

Better late than never Baaad Week
Hello
Its kiled me to write anything this week,but it has to be done ,i must report that we have had the worst week in our clubs history,5 losses in the same week !!! shock horrer .Wednsday 27th feb Connor ,Spud + Dicko boxed on the Knowsley Vale show ,fifst up was young dicko ,in the right size boots this time he started the bout well and was holding his own ,then half way into the second round he went into reverse gear ,and that is how he stayed ,he was out gunned and ended up losing by majority.
Next came our debutant Connor ,this bout went of at 100mls an hour with both lads trying to knock each other out {7 months of training out the window ],rd 1 finished even ,rd 2started the same both lads like 2 demented nut cases ,Conner caught a right hand bang on the nose ,and the claret began to flow ,Conner survived that round and cme back to the corner in shock,we sent him back out with instructions to try and box keep his chin down and move[ ye i know but ? ] anyway he copped another 1flush on the hooter ,again claret ,the ref had a good look and decided to stop it with 20 secs to go .
Spud Murphy what can i say, you threw this away [ or did he ?] ,he gave his opponent 3 standing counts ,made his nose look a squashed tomato had the doctor look at it,had the kid legging it for the last 2mins with the corner begging the ref not to stop it ,{our area sec by the way ]and guess what they gave the bout to him nuff said.
Mick Rigby + Mic Christy boxed friday 29feb feb,i havent realy had chanc e to speak to them ,but what i have been told Rigby was realy unlucky not to get the decision ,and is boxing the kid again this week .Mic Christy tried his best was not strong enough and lost by a majority.
All the lads have vowed to train harder ,we will see !
