Grappenhall Sports 1 Pilkington 1 - 14/01/2012
Grappenhall Sports went into the match looking to continue their good start to 2012 with another home win, but 10 men Pilkington had other ideas. The Grasshoppers took an early lead as young play maker Lee Mannion controversially won, then scored a penalty. Following the penalty an off the ball incident again on Mannion resulted in the straight red card of Pilkingtons strong centre back. Despite playing against 10 men for over an hour Grappenhall couldn't make the advantage pay and the away side scored a well taken equaliser deep into added time to break Grappenhall hearts.
