Only bored of you 'forever'. Incidentally do we take it that you are anticipating a replay and that your prediction is for the second game ie Skelmersdale vs Leigh?  And before you ask, no, I am not going this week.  |

Leigh Genesis secured a place in the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy after defeating fellow Unibond First Division North side Skelmersdale United 4-1 at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium.
A number of changes were made from the midweek side that took to the field against Mossley with only Chris Page and Jamie Baguley keeping their starting shirts.
It was the visitors who took the lead after just 2 minutes with dangerous striker Mark Houghton scoring from close range after a cross from the right side failed to be cleared by Karl Munroe. Skelmersdale could have ahd a second shortley after with Leigh keeper Stephen Brench pulling off two great saves to deny Ryan Wade and Houghton.
On the 21st minute, Jordan Stepien levelled the tie witha low cross come shot which rebounded off the post and hit the back of Ryan McMahon's net. Again, Skem came on the attack and looked for a second goal before half time but there was no way past Drench and his solid back four of Sephton, Munroe, Page and King.
As the second half started, Leigh were quick out the blocks and the hard work of Chris Thompson upfront nearly bought him a goal but was denied by the in form McMahon who had kept four clean sheets in his sides last five games before today. It was Tom Ince who was to capitalise on the goalkeepers error as he slotted the ball into an open net after McMahon dropped the ball from a Genesis cross and made it 2-1 to Leigh.
With 15 minutes remaining the game was but beyond doubt as Jamie Baugley fired in a rocket of a shot from 16 yards out to make it 3 goals to the good and Jack Dorney finsihed things off for Leigh with a shot from the left hand side and made it 4-1 with 5 minutes remaining.
Genesis now look forward to the draw for the next round on Monday when it will be announced at 1pm on the FA's website. The club are next in action on Tuesday evening as they travel to North-West Counties side Ashton Athletic in the Lancashire Co-Operative Challenge Trophy with a 7:45pm kick off at Brocsteades Park.
Leigh Genesis Team : Stephen Drench, Scott Sephton, Kris King (Mark Ross 79), Karl Munroe (C), Chris Page, Jamie Baguley, Jack Dorney, Steven Flitcroft (Dale Whitham 62), Jordan Stepien, Chris Thompson (Chris Baguley 66), Tom Ince Subs Not Used: Johnathon Smith, Ovidiu Morrariu
Attendance : 252 Referee : Mr. M. Astley
