“David Badrock gave Prestwich Heys hope with a goal right at the end of the first half.”
South Liverpool made home advantage count for nothing, taking control early and doubling their lead before the break through two clinical strikes in the 14th and 41st minutes. Prestwich Heys, sitting mid-table and out of form heading into this tie, struggled to break down the visitors until David Badrock pulled one back right on the stroke of half-time, giving the home crowd something to cheer. The second half fizzled out with no further incident, South Liverpool comfortable in protecting their two-goal cushion turned one-goal advantage. For the non-league outfit, the cup exit will sting less than the manner of the first-half capitulation, while South Liverpool advance with a routine if unspectacular job done.
How entertaining was this match?
Prestwich Heys stunned South Liverpool with a stoppage-time equaliser to force this replay, and now it's sudden death for a spot in the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round. After a 2-2 thriller in the first leg, expect another tightly contested night at Adie Moran Park.
