Liversedge bow out of FA Vase with extra time loss at Winsford

Liversedge dominated the first half and deservedly led 1-0 at the interval thanks to a Rhys Davies goal after 27 minutes.

Sedge suffered injuries to two key players just before half-time and this changed the course of the game.

Winsford sent the game into extra time when Michael Koral equalised after 80 minutes.

Liversedge went onto hit the crossbar but it was Winsford who grabbed the only goal in extra time when Peter Watling netted late in the first period and the goal stood despite strong claims of handball.

Liversedge return to Northern Counties East League action on Saturday when they visit Hall Road Rangers.

Sedge won their first three matches but suffered defeat to Worksop in their last league fixture and will be looking to bounce back against a Hall Road side who have taken three points from six games.
