Curzon Ashton put four past Marine away from home

Curzon put four past Marine away from home in an eventful game in Merseyside. 

Tony Weston had the best chance of the first half when he latched onto a loose ball before hitting the outside of the right post after five minutes. 

Marine also managed to create plenty of chances in the first period, the majority of those coming from crosses into the box. 

Much to the confusion of everyone in the ground, Leigh Whelan was adjudged to have handled the ball and was given a second yellow card as he was dismissed after 26 minutes. 

The red card didn’t seem to have an effect on The Mariners as they were able to create chances, the best of these falling to Sinclair Smith who couldn’t steer his effort on target from the edge of the area. 

A ruthless second half display from the visitors ensured they came away with a vital three points. 

Alex Curran opened the scoring after a fine finish through the legs of Jack McIntyre after 57 minutes played. 

The Ash doubled their lead 12 minutes later through Tony Weston who found the back of the net from a tight angle. 

Things then went from bad to worse when a third was added from Jack Stobbs who was able to chip McIntyre from the edge of the area. 

Salt was added to the wounds at the death after substitute Jack Rodwell-Grant finished from close range.
