The second quarter-final of the Goldline Trophy takes place on a lovely summer's evening at Charnock Richard.
The hosts have a great record in this competition and are always amongst the leading sides in the West Lancashire League Premier Division. They used to play on the pitch in the foreground of this photo, before developing the pitch across the road, the entrance to which can just be seen in the distance.
The second pitch, named Mossie Close, still gets plenty of use, and is tonight hosting Charnock Richard's third team in a Preston and District League fixture.

The visitors tonight are Daisy Hill, who play their football one level higher than their hosts in Division One of the North West Counties League, though local knowledge of past records in this competition would see Charnock Richard as favourites to progress.
Once George Craddock gets in behind the Daisy Hill defence on the end of a long ball to give the hosts a 13th minute lead, the result rarely looks in doubt. Tom Morgan and Chris Robinson combine to set up George Craddock for his second after 39 minutes, and Charnock Richard are in complete control at the interval, Carl Grimshaw adding a third from close range after Matt Mawdesley's shot was too hot for keeper Mark Simms to hold.
The outcome is never under threat in the second half, and Carl Grimshaw scores his second on 56 minutes after a goalmouth scramble following a corner. George Craddock completes his hat trick five minutes from time with a far post finish to wrap up a 5-0 win, and book Charnock Richard a remarkable seventh consecutive semi-final appearance in this competition.
