Queens buzzing after Beehive win

Oct 8 2008 by Our Correspondent, Birkenhead News

IN THE Houlihans Birkenhead Sunday League, the only game of the day saw Queens Park win 5-3 against FC Beehive.

Park were the favourites going into the match, being top of the Premier Division table, and showed why they are there – constantly leading the way with Beehive having to play catch-up.

FC Beehive went down to 10 men after 10 minutes, just to add to the challenge set out for them.

A foul on a Queens Park player lead to a dubious penalty decision, after it was contested that the penalty occurred out-side of the box.

Queens were 3-2 up at half-time, but Beehive came out strong in the second half and grabbed another equalised. But the job was too hard on this occasion, with the Beehive not being able to break the Queens down sufficiently to keep hold on to a point.

Queens went on to score another two goals to seal the win and retain their place at the top of the table.

Elsewhere, Shaun Lawrenson, of Castrol Athletic Youth, won a Cheshire FA Volunteer Award for his services to football this week and was presented with his award at the Cheshire.

Meanwhile, Barry Steele, the league registrations secretary is moving on October 10 and the first round of the FA Sunday Cup is on Sunday October 19.
