Little Lever Sports Club are planning to appeal after three of their players were sent off in the Lancashire Amateur League game against Old Blackburnians.

The referee dismissed the players for dissent in the second half of a game Little Lever eventually lost 2-1.

They were two goals down by half-time but looked to have worked their way back into the game when Mick Jones scored direct from a corner five minutes into the second-half.

Shortly after, however, the three players were ordered off and that effectively ended Lever's chances of getting anything from the game.
