The Young Coasters Progress In The FA Youth Cup

AFC Fylde Academy progressed into the First Round proper of the FA Youth Cup following a 2-0 win over Chester FC in the Third Qualifying Round thanks to goals from Danny Ormerod & Charlie Markland.

Following a frantic opening 10 minutes and battling against the Fylde Coast elements, the Young Coasters got off to a brilliant start and took the lead after 12 minutes.

A foul on Markland from the Chester ‘keeper left Ormerod with the simple task of converting from 12 yards, which he duly obliged to tuck into the bottom corner.

The windy conditions were having an effect, but following the restart, the Young Coasters managed to add a second when a free-kick from the left found Markland at the back post, who bulleted a header into the bottom corner before Jess Hailwood saw red for a second yellow card. 

It could have been three for the Coasters when Ormerod headed in from a corner, but he then turned to see the linesman’s flag up for offside, which denied him a second of the evening. 

With the Coasters being down to ten men and battling hard, Chester stepped onto the Young Coasters and were creating chances, which led to Oskar Rossenblatt hitting the post from a cross after heading just over from six yards out moments earlier

AFC Fylde: Clark, Hailwood, Westhead (45′ Frost), Meadowcroft, Hope, Muscart, McGovern (44′ Kay), Bailey, Ormerod (75′ Lappin), Morris, Markland. 

Unused subs: Dodgson, Ferriera, Agho, Zaffar.
