Avro secured a statement win against Lower Breck after defeating the league leaders 3-0 at Anfield Sports and Community Centre.
Early on in the first half, the Breck had themselves a great chance to take the lead, as Alex Chamara managed to keep the ball in play before sending it across the 6-yard box. Unfortunately for Lower Breck, no one was able to get on the end of the pass by Chamara.
Around the 20th-minute mark, Jake Cottrell found himself with the ball in the centre of the park. He took a few touches and decided to have a shot on goal from 40 yards out. For the second time this week, Cottrell’s shot looped over the keeperand into the back of the net to make it 1-0 to the Ro in spectacular fashion.
Unfortunately, a few minutes after the goal, Jack Kenny would suffer a nasty injury after a phenomenal effort to stop the hosts’ attack inside the Ro’s box.
In the 35th minute, Kyle Hawley decided to have a run on goal from the centre circle. He dribbled past the Breck’smidfield and had a shot on goal from outside the box. His shot struck the back of the net to make it 2-0 against the league leaders.
Not long into the second half, Harry Salt worked the ball around the Lower Breck defence before playing it into the box for Kyle Hawley. Despite the ball reaching Hawley, the Ro’s number nine was unable to control it as he was shoved in the back by a Lower Breck defender, which was not seen by the referee.
In the 68th minute, Avro substitute Darren Ehimamieghofound some space on the right flank to play the ball into the box, hoping for someone to get on the end of it. Luckily, Ryley Smith got on the end of the pass to tap the ball into the net to make it 3-0 to the Ro and secure his first goal in an Avro shirt.
With a few minutes left of the match, the Ro had one more chance to extend their lead as Jack Morrow received the ball just outside the box and decided to have a shot.
