Needing to win their final two games to be crowned Mid-Lancashire League first division champions, Anchorsholme FC are halfway there after a 3-2 win over third-placed Charnock Richard in their final home fixture.

One a very cold afternoon, with snow flurries and strong winds, the game was end to end as a young Charnock side tested the league leaders and top goalscorers.

It was the Anchors who opened the scoring when Joe Woods made a surging run down the right and drilled the ball across goal for Adam Parkinson to slot home at the back post.

It remained 1-0 until half-time but Charnock equalised early in the second half when a free-kick was deflected past keeper Ben Spriggs.

Both teams battled hard and created chances but it was Anchorsholme who regained the lead with Darren Heaney’s volley.

It was his 16th league goal of the season and the team’s 100th.

Celebrations were cut shot as Charnock equalised again, when a corner was not cleared and the ball was smashed back into the box, resulting in an own goal.

With five minutes remaining, Anchorsholme could sense the title slipping away.

But then Heaney was brought down on the edge of the area and played a quick free-kick through to brother Adam Heaney, who poked the ball under the onrushing keeper.

It was a cruel end to the game for the excellent Charnock side but a most pleasurable one for Anchorsholme.

They travel to bottom club New Longton Rovers on Saturday knowing a victory will secure the championship ahead of Fylde coast rivals Freckleton.
