Goals from Callum Lovatt, Max McCarthy and an own goal by Jay McCarten condemned Bootle to their first home defeat since December at the hands of a hardworking Kidsgrove Athletic.

Ben Hodkinson had the first Bucks chance, a flick was picked up by Ryan Brown in the Kidsgrove net.

Kidsgrove took an early lead when Callum Lovatt’s header from a corner flew past an outstretched Theo Roberts.

A long shot by Connor Millington was no trouble for Ryan Brown.

The away side had the first chance of the second half. A low cross from the right fell to Kieron Brown who smashed wide.

Kidsgrove doubled their lead. Lewis Bergins freekick took a vicious deflection off Jay McCarten and out of Theo Roberts’ reach.

Kidsgrove put the game to bed with a third. A long ball by Kieran Brown falls to Max McCarthy who ran through one on one with Theo Roberts and slotted past the Bootle keeper.

On a disappointing afternoon for Bootle, there was a chance for them to reclaim a consolation. A scramble in the area and two Bucks effort was brilliantly saved by Kieran Brown.
