Although Wrexham fielded a second string and youth mix, it was obvious that our opponents have benefited from being part of a well organised outfit, who ply their trade at a much higher level, and have seen teams like Barcelona and the Welsh National team use their facilities.

The game kicked off ealier than the advertised time due to a concern the lack of floodlights may end the game prematurely.

It was Wrexham who had the best of the opening 10 minutes, which saw them take the lead with an easy tap-in.  AFC Liverpool quickly settled into a rhythm though, and a commanding performance from Phil Stafford in centre midfield, saw us closing down Wrexham, and stopping their passing game.

We were rewarded for all the hard work with a goal from Andy Olsen, who seemed to win everything in the air, to bring the game level at half time.

Second half kicked off early, and continued with some great possession and movement from AFC Liverpool.  Within minutes, Andy McCoy won a free kick just outside the Wrexham area, and a clever pass to Franny Barry, saw the impressive forward flick the ball into the back of the Wrexham net, to see us go 2-1 up.

However, a win was not to be, as Wrexham pushed forward, and a cracking 40 yard strike from just outside the centre circle found the bottom right corner of the net to see the game finish 2-2.

A very impressive result against a polished outfit.

On the 14th August 2010, AFC Liverpool venture into the unknown with their first ever FA CUP game away to Hemsworth.

Due to the importance of this occasion, we would like to open up coach travel to everyone, in the hope that an increase in away support can propel us through to the next round.
Away coach days are becoming an integral part of AFC Liverpool culture, and offer a great day out for both the ardent fan, and families alike.
If you have taken in a home game, and wondered what it was like to follow the growing army of AFC fans away, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to experience just that, with the little matter of an FA CUP game thrown in !

If you would like to book a place on one of the coaches to this game, then please check availability on the following number:

Lets make this a day to remember, get behind the lads, paint the town red, and become a part of history !!

Special thanks go to Liverpool Legend Joey Jones (pictured) who took to the stage to share his experiences with fans, and was a perfect gentleman. He took time to chat with everybody, and even posed for photographs and signed various items. We would like to thank Joey for an excellent evening, and hope that he wears his AFC Liverpool scarf with pride !

Other thanks go to Frames Snooker Club, for putting on a great night and making everyone feel welcome. Service with a smile, and the food was great (although Joey was disappointed there were no frogs legs or swiss roll !)

The event helped raise funds for the club, so thanks again to everyone involved.

The logo will be worn on both the home and away shirts of the 1st team and reserves for 2010 – 2011 season.

Numbers drawn were:

3,4,9,13,14,16

Early indications are that there were NO WINNERS.

Warrington Town,  from the Evo-Stik Division One North, will be a good test for the Reds as they look to continue the build up to the new season. This follows on from last weeks’ promising performance from a team with many faces unfamiliar to supporters that battled back to earn a creditable 2-2 draw against Elements Cefn Druids.

Date: Saturday July 17th

Time 3pm

Venue: Cantilever Park, Loushers Lane, Warrington, WA4 2RS

Joey was immortalised in Liverpool history when a banner that read “Joey Ate The Frogs Legs, Made The Swiss Roll, Now He’s Munching Gladbach” was unfurled at the 1977 European Cup Final in Rome. Fondly remembered by all Liverpool fans as an uncompromising, tough tackling left back, he finished 63^rd in the list of 100 Players Who Shook The Kop.

Appearing alongside the Liverpool legend will be comedian Rod Beech, who is well loved on the after dinner circuit and has himself worked alongside many former Liverpool greats. There will also be a raffle and an auction with our very own Patto as Master of Ceremonies. Other guests Include another Liverpool Legend, AFC Liverpool’s new reserve team coach, Brian Kettle.

Taking place at Frames Snooker Hall in Walton, tickets are priced £17.50 which includes a buffet, and they come in two distinct, specially commissioned designs which will make great souvenirs.

A new look AFC Liverpool side took to the fields on a sunny day in Wales against Druids hoping to kick off their pre-season in good fashion. However things took a turn for the worst early on when an AFCL own goal put Druids ahead.

At half time the score remained 1-0.

The second half started with AFCL on top with tempers flaring and rain pouring. Druids took advantage and scored against the run of play making the score 2-0.

It looked like AFCL would have to wait for another day to get a positive result however Matty Cushion managed to grab a goal back making the score 2-1. AFC Liverpool continued to attack leading to new number 9 Barry scoring the equalising goal to make the final score 2-2.
