Burscough 3-2 Wakefield

Burscough edged past Wakefield in a scrappy game at Victoria Park.

Burscough went ahead in the 19th minute when Darren Brookfield chipped a pass on the edge of the box for Liam Caddick to chest down and fire in to the back of the net.

The Linnets doubled their lead on half time when Caddick found himself clear on goal and dinked a chip over Bennett.

The visitors replied on 57th minutes when Jassim Alali lobbed Horn the referee overruled the assistant’s offside flag to award the goal.

Burscough restored their two goal lead five minutes later when Louis Mayers stabbed home from close range.

Dave Pickering thundered home a long range consolation for Wakefield but it wasn’t enough and Burscough progressed into the next round.
