Beeston 2–1 Aigburth

2–1 to Beeston over Aigburth at home—narrow, tense, the football that'll keep us all awake. Beeston and Aigburth arrived with the finest of margins between them, 4 points, 9th and 18th. Beeston were blowing hot and cold on the recent run of things, Aigburth drawing everything in sight. Possession split down the middle, and the chances with it: Beeston 5 shots, the Liverpool club 5 shots, on target 5–2, corners 2–1. A low effort from Goodall gave Beeston's best sight of goal, kept out. Coquelin went nearest for Beeston, denied by a fine save. The Argonauts will point to Eke-Ihejirika's effort, well held by the keeper. Matsumoto tested nothing but the advertising boards for the Argonauts' best chance. Coquelin guided Lacey's ball home for the Outlaws on 63' (1–0). Eccleston finished Olabarría's pass for Aigburth on 84' (1–1). On 90', Bacigalupo found the net for the Outlaws (2–1). It was a niggly afternoon — the Outlaws 8 fouls, the side in navy 10 fouls. On 15', Guadalupe went into the book for the side in navy. Coquelin was shown the yellow for the Outlaws on 44'. The Outlaws' Mensah-Boateng was shown yellow on 46'. A caution for Lacey of the Outlaws on 77'. A result more earned than gifted; Beeston controlled the variables that mattered.

Ratings

Yarrow takes the plaudits with a 7.8; a match-winning strike, and the rest could only watch. A game settled by fine margins, where small things earned big marks. Marks out of ten — Yarrow 7.8 · Asano 7.8 · Anglade 6.7 · Cranford 6.6 · Renouf 6.6 · Doorn 6.6 · Brideoake 6.6. Disagree? You're entitled to. You're also wrong.

Preview

Heaton (4th) travel to Wessex (6th)—two sides with questions to answer. Heaton arrive drawing everything in sight to face Wessex, who are on the up—polar opposites on the park. Team news: Wessex are without Achterberg and Bernabei. A contest whose outcome will tell us more than the table currently admits.
