Reserves make it three wins on the bounce

Billinge reserves got the bit between their teeth after two impressive wins.
Gamesley Reserves - the opposition on Saturday - is always a tough place to visit but the reserves started with a new found confidence.
With safe hands Tom Hull and a back-four of Adam Dickinson, Jay Parkin, Elliot Twigg and leader Geoff Parr it led to a comfortable first- half for the Storks.
While Elliot Bradshaw and Joe Unsworth chipped in with two goals each Dan Campbell and Joe Ratcliffe worked hard all game putting in a good shift for the cause. Mark Bowland - improving with every game - also gave a classy performance in the holding role.
Add in the club's utility player Chris Duffy excelling up front on his own and not giving the Gamesley defence any time on the ball this set up a great platform for the lads to win the game.
And win it they did - with some ease.
With the game out of reach at half-time it meant that when Gamesley upped their game and it was time for some defending to do Billinge hd enough and energy in reserve to deal with anything that was thrwn at them.
Billinge defended collectively as a unit and came out 4-1 winners even though it could (and possibly should) have been more.
Elliot Bradshaw was unlucky not to bag a hat-trick blasting the ball over the bar from two yards out with the goalie stranded.
There were concerns for young Adam Dickinson who came off with a knee injury with the top of the league clash at Greenalls this Thursday on everybody's mind.

Stand out players: Tom Hull, Geoff Parr, Elliot Bradshaw.
MOM: Joe Unsworth
