Cables make hard work of cup game

By Paul Goodwin

Prescot Cables made hard work of beating lower league Lower Breck in Wednesday’s quarter final of the Liverpool Senior Cup at the Anfield Sports and Social Centre. 

Two goals a piece for Jordan Southworth in the first half and Jordan Wynne in the second saw Cables eventually see Lower Breck off 4-3.

The hosts took the lead on ten minutes before Jordan Southworth equalised on 26 minutes, a calm finish after Josh Klein-Davies’ shot was parried by the keeper.

Cables took the lead on 36 minutes when Joey Faux’s cross was headed home by Southworth to give Cables the lead at half time. 

The second half saw Lower Breck equalise on 55 minutes.

Cables retook the lead in 66 minutes when some more excellent wing play from Faux saw Wynne, captain for the night, finish with a lovely curled shot low the keepers left to make it 3-2 to Cables.

Despite being reduced to 10 men on the 80 minute mark, Lower Breck would equalise again on 83 minutes to make it three all. This would result in a tense last few minutes, before another good low finish from Wynne settled the tie and put Cables through to the Semi finals. 

245 attendance.

Cables XI: Barnes, Fernandes (Turner 68), Cooper, Coyne, McNally, Southworth, Griffiths, Wynne, Hamilton, Faux, Klein-Davies.
