Anyone going? Tuesday 6th August at Leyland, bit of a trek out of the way but should be a good game considering its against the bitters too.
Lancashire Senior Cup final
- Thread starter SirFergie
- Start date
Leyland? Why is it on out there? I thought that it would have been on in town considering who's involved.
I thought that too, but I think with it being the Lancashire Senior Cup, they're having it in Lancashire.
Leyland's the HQ of the Lancashire FA.
Senior cup final tonight. Suspect that we'll see the likes of Keane, Januzaj and Lingard in the side, as well as some of the other usual suspects from last years U21's.
What time is kick-off?

7.45 according to this. Not sure how they're going to play this, as obviously MUTV will be focused on the senior team game against AIK. Perhaps, since that game starts at 6.30, they'll show the second half of the U21 game after the AIK game finishes.

Ill be there. £8 to get in I'd a bit steep though.
Would really appreciate updates on here if possible.
Highlights are going to be on MUTV tomorrow half 6.

Jesse Lingard, Adnan Januzaj, Davide Petrucci & Macheda included in Manchester United reserves vs City in the final. Full team to follow.City on top opening 10 mins. United just cleared one off the line. No saves yet.
1-0 to City, had been coming. Not all city by any means though.
1-1 Petrucci. Good work Kiko and Lingard I think.
Half time one each
Are any rivers moist?
Nothing at all from what I can tell. Just following it on twitter
Ahh ok.
2-1 United, think lindgard - penalty
2-1, all over.
Isn't Kiko a bit, well, senior for this?
Still 21 in an under 21s league. He came off after 56 minutes.
Was a good game anyway, pretty competitive with some meaty challenges that the referee just seemed to ignore. City started better and had much of the opening 20 minutes and deserved their lead. United's equaliser came from Macheda down the left, crossing for Lingard (I think) and the ball found its way out to Petrucci who curled a pearler into the top corner. United started the 2nd half better but it was still pretty even with both teams having good chances to score. Looked a clear penalty with 17 minutes to go and Lingard tucked it away. Match could've gone either way really.
Michael Keane got man of the match. I thought Petrucci and Januzaj both looked good too.

Michael Keane looked silky and Thorpe was pretty solid next to him.
Larnell Cole played well 2nd half when he moved inside more; had a shot come back off the post which was unlucky.

How is he still 21? He scored that goal against Villa sometime in the last century!
I thought he was like 23 - 24 or something.

Reserves win Lancashire Cup
United’s Reserves retained the Lancashire Senior Cup and completed the "treble" for the second successive season after coming from behind against fierce rivals Manchester City at the County Ground on Tuesday night.
It's the fourth time United have lifted the trophy in six seasons and the 15th time the club have won the competition. Somewhat surprisingly, though, it was only the first time since the Lancashire Senior Cup was inaugurated in 1879 that United had faced City in the final.
United knocked out Morecambe and Oldham Athletic on the way to the final, while the Blues eliminated Blackpool, Wigan Athletic and Rochdale. Warren Joyce’s side were given a bye in the opening round.
City had the better of the early attacking play on Tuesday, with both Scott Wootton and Tom Thorpe required to clear their lines.
Jesse Lingard raised United’s hopes with a header that struck the upright, but the threat was to no avail as the assistant referee was already fluttering his flag for offside.
Moments later City moved into the lead with Alex Tchumeni-Nimely scoring from close range after Alex Henshall’s shot had been blocked.
Federico Macheda went down in the City area following a vigorous challenge, but his appeal for a spot-kick was waved away by referee Simeon Lucas.
United began to have a bigger say in proceedings and it wasn’t a surprise when Davide Petrucci picked his spot past City keeper Eirik Johansen to claim United’s leveller.
Sam Johnstone did well, three minutes before break, to prevent City’s Harry Dunn from restoring his team’s lead before Tschumeni-Nimely’s shot grazed the Reds' crossbar shortly after the restart.
Adnan Januzaj missed a great chance to give United the lead midway through the second period but fired high over the bar from Tyler Blackett’s left wing cross.
Dunn then looked certain to find the net for City in the 70th minute, only to see his fierce drive bravely headed away by Keane.
Jesse Lingard, fresh from his heroics on the first-team’s summer tour, took centre stage again 15 minutes from time, when he scored from the penalty spot after being felled in the City area by Ashley Smith Brown.
And United almost increased the lead shortly afterwards when Larnell Cole unleashed a screamer that crashed against the post.
In the end, Lingard and Petrucci's strikes were enough to keep City at bay and earn Warren Joyce's men yet another piece of silverware.
United: Johnstone, Wootton, Thorpe, M Keane, Vermijl (Blackett 42), Cole, Ekangamene, Petrucci (Pearson 81), Lingard, Januzaj, Macheda (Lawrence 51)

Has anyone seen the highlights? I watching it now, Januzaj has looked good and Petrucci took his goal well.
Yep. Januzaj looked a class above - skipped effortlessly past two City players at one point. Petrucci is technically excellent, but maybe a little lumbering. I think he'll have a career in a top league, even if not at United.
I sold MUTV to Alex Nimeley yesterday so he could watch the game back. Good lad he was, had a few digs but he took it well.
