Bedford Park, Southport
Scorers: Paul Leigh (1), Mike Hand (3)
Ventura FC continued their solid start to pre-season with a convincing 4-2 over 2nd divison Legionnaires at their new home ground, Bedford Park.
Despite an impressive opening Ventura were unable to convert their early chances until a Paul Leigh corner caught out the Legionnaire's defence & went straight in without any contact made. Ventura's dominance on the game then led to them extending their lead through Mike Hand, who was able to capitalise after the Legionnaires goalkeeper could only parry Palfrey's shot into his path. Some good finishes gave Hand his hat-trick in the second half to put Ventura 4-0 up & in control.
It was then however that some over-confidence & careless play crept in & they were unable to keep a clean sheet. 2 quick goals for Legionnaires gave them some hope although the second was highly contested by the Ventura defence after the ball had clearly gone out for a throw in during the build up.
It was no concern to the overall result however as Ventura ran out comfortable winners. If anything their advantage could have been greater & the result will give them a boost as they continue their pre-season programme.
