NCEL Match Review #34
4th December, 2008
Only four matches survived the midweek big freeze with Arnold Town keeping their name in the KoolSport Premier Division title chase.
Chris Freestone's goal in first-half injury time saw them beat Lincoln Moorlands Railway 1-0 in their home game played at Carlton Town FC.
The Eagles climb to fourth, seven points behind leaders Mickleover Sports with a game in hand.
Rainworth Miners Welfare became the first side to book their place in the last four of the Wilkinson Sword Trophy.
They beat visitors and local rivals, Teversal, 2-1 with James Whitehead grabbing the winner with a 65th-minute penalty.
That was after Martin Freestone had cancelled out the home side's opener from Jermain Hollis.
Two games were played in the Second Round of the West Riding County Cup and both saw heavy defeats for the home sides.
Pontefract Collieries were beaten 7-1 by NCEL rivals Brighouse Town.
Dean Lackie had given them the lead on nineteen minutes before Karl Amos levelled the scores by the break.
The second-half then belonged solely to the visitors as Jordan Maltas, Joe Pinnock, Jermaine Manners twice, Christian Silkstone and Jason Tiplady all found the net.
And, Selby Town bowed out of the competition, beaten 4-0 by Bradford Park Avenue.
