It was the away side that started well and after just three minutes took the lead.

With the ball worked out to the left side to find Peter Morgan he slid the ball across the box and found Ben Kearney who finished past the Flixton goalkeeper.

The away side kept up the momentum and were a post width away from doubling their lead. Jack Edwards found Will Mountfield on the edge of the box and his perfectly hit strike came back off the post.

Ashville were left to rue the missed opportunity on 26 minutes as the hosts went level. A ball over the top caught Ashville’s defence out and Aaron Dwyer raced on to slot in to the back of the net.

Flixton started the better in the second half and it was Dwyer again who brought an excellent save from Ashville keeper Harley Morgan on 49 minutes.

Two minutes later the home side went ahead. The ball broke 20 yards out and Collins Tanor thundered a strike in to the bottom right corner.

The goal didn’t deter Villa and on 61 minutes brought the game level, Ben Kearney’s cross found Peter Morgan at the back post to head home for his eighth goal of the season. Both teams looked to get the win but neither side created any clear attempts on goal.

Ashville are back in action on Saturday, November 14 with a home game versus Ashton Town, kick off 3pm.
