Match reportBig match

Pendle 2–2 Kirkby

Pendle and Kirkby couldn't be separated 2–2, which is fair—nobody else could either. Pendle and the Albatross were tight on the table, 2 points the difference, 17th against 19th. Pendle had been on a run described as blowing hot and cold, the Albatross on one out of sorts. Honours were even for territory — Pendle 10 shots to the side in turquoise's 14 shots, 5–6 on target, corners 3–6. The side in rust's best opening came from Dewhurst, saved without much fuss. Bramwell's effort had the side in rust closest to a goal, kept out. The Albatross' Ikari worked the keeper hardest of anyone out there. The keeper was equal to Aimar-Ríos's effort, the Albatross' best of the game. Castagna got the Albatross going on 53', 0–1. Frutos-Lara struck home for the Albatross on 59' (0–2). Banda-Lungu scored from Veenstra-Boer's pass for Pendle on 74' (1–2). Sorrentino-Bruno's delivery, Boddeke's finish, Pendle to 2–2 on 80'. Fouls finished 7–9 between Pendle and Kirkby. Bamidele-Salami was booked for Pendle on 29'. Glanville went into the book on 60' for Kirkby. Fortesque was booked on 74', Kirkby now watching his tackles. A point each for Pendle and Kirkby, which pleases nobody and surprises no one.
