Non-league football fans were left feeling goal hungry after this weekend’s fixtures, with three games ending goalless: Marine v Hyde United, Litherland v City of Liverpool and Kettering v Southport.
But those supporting Bootle saw their side earn three points after securing a 2-1 victory against Skelmersdale United. But it was quite the opposite for City of Liverpool as they suffered a 2-1 loss to Mossley, as their winless streak continues.
Bootle found a winner in the shape of a Ben Hodkinson free kick. Then a red card for Skelmersdale’s Max McCarthy, after a scuffle between the players, made it too big of a task for the visitors to come back. It was also Nivaldo Rodrigues Ferreira’s first time getting on the score sheet for the Bucks as he capitalised on a Skelmersdale mistake and slotted it home.
