Meppen-Walter bundled the ball beyond Samuel Morton in the REMY net however, the game was halted due to a foul on Morton - cutting short Avro’s premature celebrations.

REMY awoke as Oliver Nugent diverted a shot wide and Lewis Sinnot’s free-kick was cleared off the line in the nick of time before the visitors regained control.

HT: Litherland REMYCA 0-0 Avro

The visitors made the perfect start to the second half - taking the lead just 10 minutes into the period. Jamie Rother’s teasing delivery found an unmarked Meppen-Walter, who bundled beyond Sam Morton.

Litherland REMYCA reacted to going behind by laying siege on Avro’s abode. An effort from the hosts via a looping shot from the edge of the area was agonisingly cleared off the line and an effort from Anthony Williams striking the post - as it seemed that it was going to be one of those games for the REMY where nothing would go in.

Avro had a brief spell of testing Morton - with Ethan Sutcliffe’s mazy run resulting in him getting a shot off, but Morton was able to gather.

The REMYCA faithful would be forgiven for scratching their head as to how they never claimed their equaliser. Three efforts - including strikes from Lewis Sinnott and Tom Lawless - were saved by Shelton as the visitors saw out a massive victory in there own rights.
