85-90+3 Leeds put Lpool under pressure with several attempts at goal
Sadly Leeds go out of the Youth Cup.
Some of the lads are capable of more, but all the lads gave it their all.
Ryan Jones in goal had his best game so far, and did well to get his body behind several shots in difficult wet conditions.
Captain Andrew Milne had a steady game at the back.
The schoolboys Garbutt, McCann and Baxendale did well stepping up to this level,with McCann in particular showing several good touches in midfield for the 20 mins runout he had.
