CITY of Liverpool FC were beaten on the opening day of the Northern Premier League NW season on Saturday as striker Matty Tymon’s hat-trick secured the points for Marske United.
Despite the loss, the hosts hailed a successful return to competitive football for just under 400 fans — having pulled off the “big ask” of a Covid-safe match-day plan.
Adam Boyes had given Marske the lead after seven minutes, tapping home from close range after a great ball from the lively Curtis Round.
