Billinge FC Reserves were beaten 3-2 but there where lots of positives.
Billinge led at half time 2-1 after goals from Adam Cullen and Tim O'Connor but they just could not convert the hat full of chances they had to put the game to bed.
Billinge had numerous 1 on 1's with the keeper but they just kept missing the target.
The Village capitalised and scored with what seemed to be there only shots of the second half.
Brian Cross " I really enjoyed my first game and I can see the makings of a very good squad. There are some good young players and I am looking forward to developing them and helping them win games"
