Seamer Reserves net shock shoot-out win at Edgehill

Third division leaders Seamer Sports Reserves started the year with a bang, winning 4-1 in a penalty shoot-out at second division title-holders Edgehill Reserves in the Trophy Trader League Trophy, the score having been 4-4 after extra-time.

Martyn Ferrey hit the opening spot-kick of the game onto the bar as Edgehill spurned an early chance to go ahead, but Lee Micklethwaite then put them in front.

Kris Tate levelled the scores in the 25th minute with a free-kick from 40 yards out which sailed over keeper Daz Palmer, and 10 minutes later Palmer failed to hold onto Danny Glendinning’s shot and veteran Gaz Walters was quickest to react and fire in to put Seamer in front.
