Last updated : 04 August 2016 By The Chairman

Jake Cassidy scored the equalising goal for the Latics' reserve side against Manchester United's under-23s to earn a creditable 1-1 draw in the Lancashire FA Senior Cup semi-final at Leigh Sports Village.

The goal came early in the second half after a cross by Darius Osei which took the game to a penalty shoot out. The reserves came out tops with a 4-3 spot kick result which pairs the Latics with Everton in the final.
