The Bucks respond and Meddows' crossfield ball is taken down by George, he sees an opportunity to advance and shoot and wins a corner.

HALF TIME: A goal up at the break, plenty more work to be done but a good half.

Williams is baffled and annoyed that he hasn't won a free-kick, feeling he was shoved over in midfield as the Bucks tried to advance,
We'll play a minimum of TWO additional minutes.
DAH has possession from a header cleared to him and he advances, nudges the ball wide to Meddows, and Jamie fizzes a cross through the six-yard box, too far ahead of George. Williams can't retrieve.
Felipe's foul on Piggott as Jordan clears from a clever pass by Danny Mayor wins the Bucks a chance to clear to the Coasters' half.

A Fylde defender nods the corner, unchallanged, over his own bar for another corner. Coasters gaffer Craig Mahon and his assistant exchange glances that tell a story...
The Bucks are defending solidly but Ormerod breaks through and Gracey blocks his effort as he arrives at the far post. The Bucks clear and George wins a corner.
Walker has an opportunity to advance into space, 30 yards out, and he gets a bit closer and then lets fly, drilling an effort wide to Jones' right.

The Coasters earn a corner on the left...
Felipe, the Coasters on-loan Preston North End player, takes his eye off the ball as it arrives, and it runs out of play. He was more concerned with Meddows there, not the ball.
Close!
Meddows curls a shot just over the angle of post and bar to Jones' left, shifting the ball onto his right from his left foot and that wasn't too far away.
The goal has given the Bucks a visible boost in confidence and they're playing some good stuff, moving the ball on the floor.
Play didn't restart after the goal until treatment for a Coasters' player, who went down hurt after Oliver Cawthorne ran into him after winning the header that set up the attack and Remi's goal. The Coasters not happy with that, but it looked a collision.
The Bucks lead, and it's a beauty of a finish from Remi Walker, who moves in from the left along the edge of the box and curls a low shot into the far corner, Jones' left.
Remi, that's special!


Lancaster's poor ball after a surge over halfway is picked off by DAH and he sprints away with the ball at his feet, but two Coasters players cover the threat and Dylan loses possession.

The Bucks defend the third Fylde corner, they've seen off a bit of pressure for now.

The corner is a training ground routine that brings a shot from Chris Merrie and the Bucks block, but they're soon defending again and concede another corner, again on the left.
Piggott does well to intercept Lincoln McFadyen's low cross from the left to the near post, but the Coasters recover, find Jon Ustabasi on the left and his effort to beat Gracey at his near post is saved, but concedes a corner.
A foul on Alex Healey-Byrne gives the Coasters a free-kick, centrally 25 yards out. Danny Mayor takes the kick, strikes it over and around the wall but straight into Gracey's midriff at his left post.
DAH chases Will Lancaster and the defender is hurried to clear. The Bucks recover the ball, switch it right and an attack through Ammar Dyer reaches the box. The ball is fed to Khnaya Leshabela, his shot is parried by Zac Jones and cleared.
Charlie Williams advances and crosses from the right, a Coasters defender heads clear in front of DAH.

Piggott has to take charge and clear as Josh Gracey hesitates slightly before coming for a through ball. Jordan sends the ball downfield as Josh is still sliding across the turf, the ball long gone.

Good pressure on the ball from George, Walker and DAH, that sends the Coasters backwards to retain possession.

Remi Walker's corner is too deep and Piggott gives chase but can't keep the ball in play. There's a windmill on the Coasters' crest for a reason... it's properly windy on the Fylde coast and that's something both sides will need to contend with tonight.
Jamie Meddows can't keep the ball in play under challenge on the left touchline, the Bucks recover possession form the restart and force a corner.
Jordan Piggott overhits a crossfield diagonal ball towards Dylan Allen-Hadley, and a Fylde player ducks underneath it to let it run for a throw-in.
