Formby 5 Ben Rhydding 1

BEN Rhydding were outplayed and outclassed by their Men's North League Premier Division opponents.

Having lost to Rhydding earlier in the season, Formby were out for revenge and meant business.

They scored early on with an easy corner and followed up quickly with a second, capitalising on an unlucky touch from Giles Flatt which fell nicely to the centre forward.

Rhydding found themselves 3-0 down after just 20 minutes. It was a stunning reverse delivery which caught everyone out.

The second half saw Rhydding change tactics but they were still unable to stop the flow of Formby.

Another good corner routine saw Formby net a fourth goal and the writing was on the wall.

Rhydding did settle into a better flow for about 20 minutes but did not manage to turn possession into points.

Callum Franks was outstanding throughout and was instrumental in drawing a corner which got Rhydding momentarily back in the game. Will Musgrave slammed home the corner but it was too little, too late. Formby put the game to bed with a fifth goal.
