Leigh Athletic 6 Elton Vale 5, Lancashire Amateur Shield
3:09pm Wednesday 17th September 2008
ELTON could have had the game sewn up in the first 20 minutes in a game peppered with quality goals.
But they ended up losing out by the odd goal in 11 to complete a final scoreline which would have graced the rugby league stadium at the nearby Leigh Sports Village.
Vale had only a solitary strike from Jon Maylon to show for their early dominance before Leigh came back strongly to lead 3-1.
Vale never gave up and were rewarded before half time with goals from Tom Stubbs and Dave Malius.
Vale got their noses in front again thanks to Craig Chadwick’s penalty, but Leigh drew level again.
Chadwick then scored a free-kick worthy of winning any tie, but two late lapses allowed an equaliser and then a winner for Leigh.
