PRESTON'S visitors took advantage of an early lead at West Cliff as the juniors were still dreaming of tinsel and Christmas pudding.

Preston have stuttered this season, thanks to be being religiously caught out on the break, but by half-time both sides were level at 2-2.

The second half brought Preston more in to the game, and were a bit unlucky not to have won the tie. Preston's next game is this weekend at Neston.

Final score Preston Juniors 2 Winnington Park 4.
