Bedworth Liberal FC 4-1 FC Atack
A good, solid performance was served up by our first team, always looking comfortable and assured. We opened the scoring early on, Ryan Smith's goal-bound effort deflecting off our forward Ben Siniscalco before nestling in the net. Smith claimed the goal, much to the chargrin of Siniscalco. It wasn't long before a rare Atack attack was rewarded by a dubious free kick just outside the box. Their player smashing it in to equalise. Soon after Siniscalco restored the lead with a neat finish. It was 3-1 just before half time, right back Dave Stringer netting a rare goal.
After the break we saw a contender for goal of the season. Midfield maestro Patrick Suffo picked the ball up in his own half, side-stepped a couple of challenges before chipping the 'keeper from 45 yards. The fact that he called it before it happened made it all the more sweeter!

Bedworth Liberal FC Reserves 5-1 Coton Liberal
The scoreline may look emphatic but truth be told it was never a game that merited such a result. We stared the first 20 minutes brightly and deservedly took the lead, Matt Stanley picking out an unmarked Andy Sinclair at the far post to nod home. After that goal we went to sleep and gifted the opposition far too much possession. We rode our luck and managed to get to half-time with our lead intact.
We had to make a substitution at half-time, our stand-in 'keeper Steven Brady going off injured and our centre half Adam Green replacing him in the sticks. We began the second half just as poorly as we ended the first and they deservedly equalised thanks to some sloppy defending on our part. That goal seemed to wake us up. We started getting on the ball more and looked dangerous on the attack. We changed our shape slightly, reverting to 4-4-2 and it worked well. Jamie Harvey found some space on the right flank and whipped in a beauty into 'area of uncertainty', Carl Lucid applying the finish. Not long after Karl Lewis made the most of some poor defending to make it 3-1. The goals were now coming thick and fast, Lucid netted his third of the season with a simple finish before Lewis got his second with a stunning 25 yarder
