NCEL 2010/11 Match Review #11

12th September, 2010

Thackley are the only KoolSport NCEL side definitely through to the next round of the FA Cup after Saturday?s action ? but three others have another chance to progress in midweek.

All seven of our sides were given home ties in the First Round of Qualifying but it was the Dennyfield side who took sole advantage with a 3-1 win over STL Northern League side Marske United.

Luke Hudson had put Thackley ahead on 17 minutes before Danny Brunskill quickly levelled.

That is how it stayed until the last quarter-of-an-hour when James Firth and Harry Thompson made sure the hosts took away the win.

Lincoln Moorlands Railway, Tadcaster Albion and Winterton Rangers will all be on their travels in midweek after their matches ended in dramatic draws.

Tadcaster and Winterton will be relieved to have a second bite of the cherry as they both produced late comebacks.

Winterton were two goals down with fifteen minutes to play against East Midlands Counties side Radcliffe Olympic but a Liam Wilkin penalty and then an equaliser from James O'Neill kept them alive in the competition.

Tadcaster left it even later with Nick Thompson levelling in injury time after Steven Johnson had given Northern League outfit Shildon the lead in the opening period.

Conversely, Moorlands were denied victory as Gresley, from the East Midlands Counties League, equalised to make it 2-2 in the 88th minute after Ben Good's double strike had seemingly been enough.

The remaining three NCEL sides - Bottesford Town, Parkgate and Shirebrook Town - all bowed out to Evo-Stik opposition.

Bottesford were beaten 3-0 by Buxton whilst Parkgate and Shirebrook lost 3-1 to Warrington Town and Lincoln United, respectively.

There was also plenty of drama in the league as Bridlington Town edged a seven-goal thriller to remain top of the Premier Division.

They were cruising to victory as goals from Wayne Wallace, Craig Palmer and Craig Hogg had them three-up after 46 minutes.

Matthew Jackson pulled one back for Nostell before Phil Harrison made it 4-1 before the hour mark.

However, Jackson struck twice more to claim his hat-trick and make it a nervy last ten minutes for the Seasiders but they managed to hold on.

Farsley AFC move up to second with a 2-1 home win over fifth-placed Selby Town, Steve Mallory and Gareth Grant with their goals whilst Jack Debnam halved the deficit for the Robins.

Brighouse Town dropped to third as they were held 2-2 at Dinnington Town, Michael Blythen getting his second for the hosts with three minutes remaining after Brighouse had thought a Darryl Leach brace had earned them victory.

Maltby Main remain bottom and are still searching for their first win of the season as they were beaten 4-1 at home by Pickering Town who move up to sixth.

Main took the lead on three minutes through Greg Mason and also hit the woodwork four times in the opening quarter-of-an-hour.

But, Tom Adams equalised on 26 before a Maltby defender handled in the box in first-half injury time and the Pikes went in at the break ahead courtesy of a Nathan Cook penalty.

The visitors then turned the screw with Marcus Dalton and Lyle Hillier securing the win before the hour.

The most remarkable comeback of the day came at Church Street where Long Eaton United came from 3-1 down with six minutes remaining to beat hosts Armthorpe Welfare, 4-3.

Craig Morley and Henry Sibenge had Armthorpe in a strong position after just seven minutes and, after Paul Gamble had netted a penalty early in the second half for Long Eaton, Sibenge scored again to give the home side a seemingly unassailable lead.

But, Lee Mellon netted on 84, Sean Gordon grabbed the equaliser four minutes later and the referee pointed to the spot in injury time to allow Gamble to get his second of the afternoon and snatch the victory.

Scarborough Athletic needed second-half goals from Rob Northen and Scott Phillips to recover from a two-goal deficit to take a point at Liversedge.

And, Hall Road Rangers earned their first win with a 4-2 victory at Arnold Town.

Pontefract Collieries remain top of Division One despite not playing after their closest rivals all passed up on a chance to overtake them.

Eccleshill United stay second on goal difference as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Leeds Carnegie, Mario Campagna with the winner on 81 minutes.

Third placed Louth Town lost 1-0 at Hemsworth Miners Welfare, thanks to a strike on the half-hour by Jon Impey.

Carnegie move up to fourth with their win ahead of Barton Town Old Boys who drew 3-3 with Grimsby Borough.

It was Borough's "home" game but, as their new stadium remains unavailable, the match was played at Barton's Euronics Ground.

And they will be delighted with their late show as goals from Danny Freeman and Luke Mascall in the last twenty minutes denied Barton the victory.

And, sixth-placed Handsworth were thumped 7-2 at Yorkshire Amateur, Tom Marsden grabbing a hat-trick and Curtis Bernard a double for the hosts.

It means only three points separate the top six sides as Division One looks to be living up to its pre-season billing as being one of the tightest promotion races for many years.

Dave Cockerill's fifteenth-minute goal for Teversal separated the sides in their 1-0 home win over Staveley Miners Welfare whilst Glasshoughton Welfare and AFC Emley played out a 0-0 draw.

Mark Vickerage struck twice for Askern Villa as they beat visitors Appleby Frodingham, 4-1, a win that moves them up to eighth.

And, Rossington Main picked up three points at Brodsworth Welfare, William McGhie's brace helping them to a 4-2 victory.
