AFC START WITH A DRAW

Jimmy Rice 17 July 2008


The newly-formed AFC Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw against St Helens in their first ever fixture on Wednesday night.

Martin Crowder was the man who wrote his name into the history books with the non-league side's first ever goal, a 30th minute penalty.

A crowd of about 700 made the trip to Ashton Town FC – and they'd have seen AFC clinch a debut victory had it not been for a Neil Jones spot kick on 51 minutes.

Manager Derek Goulding told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It was a very proud moment to send the boys out for the first time.

"They walked out in front of our fans and there were flags and banners – like our mini-Kop, if you like.

"I told them that people would jump of a roof to play with a Liver bird on their chest – so they had to go out there and do it proud.

"They did that. It was always going to be difficult to live up to the initial hype but this has given us a decent foundation to build on.

"We've got to keep our feet on the ground because all of this is just building up to our first league game of the season."

Next up for AFC is a match at Nelson at 3pm on Saturday when a Joe Fagan memorial trophy will be up for grabs.

Story in the Guardian about AFC Liverpool, congrats to all involved, this is a fantastic idea and it must have taken guts to follow it through, remember the usual naysayers here at the time laughing it off Just shows what a positive spirit can obtain

Had a cracking night at the match last night, we were stood on the touchline at the end where both penalties were taken.

Had a good bit of banter with the St Helens Goalie who had a pair of Black Man Utd shorts on.

The lads were unlucky to come away with a draw, they had 2 good chances at the end to win it and the keeper managed to get a hand to the penalty but just not enough to tip it wide.

All in all it was a good start for the lads

Congrats to Alun and everyone else involved
