Man-of-the-match for the visitors was midfield maestro Will Dolman.
Windermere seconds cleverly adapted their game with a half-court press to overcome counter-attacking visitors Lytham fourths 5-2 in North West Division Five.

Windermere Ladies continued their 100 per cent record with a 6-1 win over Springfields fourths in Central Lancashire Women’s League Division Two.
They currently lie second on goal difference behind Pendle, but have a game in hand and the two have yet to meet.

Mere quickly equalised and then pulled away with goals coming from Alice Boston (2), Cat Drury (2), Lucy Hill and Kate Harrison.
