Digmoor v Wigan Rovers

6.15pm  23 August 2012

Wigan Cup, Group 7
Digmoor 4 Wigan Rovers 1 (att 11)

Both these Wigan League rivals lost their opening group games, so victory tonight was crucial to have realistic ambitions of reaching the knock out stages of this early season cup.

Digmoor, who play a division higher than the visitors, started well and were soon in front, apparently suffering no ill effects from a hectic schedule that had them playing a league game just 24 hours earlier. Wigan Rovers had chances though, and equalisd before half time thanks to penalty.

In the second half Digmoor moved up several gears and took control, scoring some great goals on their way to a comprehensive and deserved win.

Digmoor are based at the Glenburn Sports College in Skelmersdale. As a football ground it's basic in the extreme, just an open pitch in a very large playing field, and a lengthy walk from the college buildings and car park.
