Gary Birch celebrates his loan extention with FA Cup goal against Walsall keeper!

Last updated : 15 October 2007 By Andy Van Hagen

Gary Birch celebrated signing another 28 day loan deal with Rushall Olympic by scoring the opener in their amazing 2-0 FA Cup Third Qualifying round win over Hednesford Town.

Birch shot past Hednesford's on-loan Walsall keeper Rene Gimartin in the 7th minute and helped Rushall to set up a final qualifier with York City on 27 October.

In Birch's first spell at Olympic he scored 4 goals with a hat-trick being scored against Atherstone in the FA Cup Qualifiying Second Round.

Birch joined the British Gas Business Football League from AFC Telford who he signed for over the summer, but he has failed to make the grade. As the picture suggests he has been farmed out on loan to get match fit.
