Toolstation NCEL match review 2014/15 #30
20th November, 2014
Clipstone and Pontefract Collieries produced upsets in the midweek's Toolstation NCEL League Cup Third Round ties as the two Division One sides beat Premier Division opposition.
Clipstone were the most convincing with a 5-0 home victory over Liversedge, Matty Ord, Josh Gibson and Daniel Wood giving them a three goal lead by the half hour before Steve Carty got their fourth and Wood netted a second in the second period.
Pontefract, meanwhile, defeated visitors Maltby Main, 2-1, with Andrew Catton's fifth minute opener added to by an own goal from Reece Wesley towards the end of the opening half before Sam Forster got a consolation for Main after the interval.
The form book was followed, though, as Retford United, Albion Sports and Staveley Miners Welfare prevailed against Division One sides.
Two goals from Adam Lee helped Retford to a 4-2 victory at Shirebrook Town, three goals in the last three minutes from Matthew Mathers, Alex Cusack and Brice Tiani saw Albion Sports through 4-1 at home to Yorkshire Amateur and Jahmal Smith struck twice early on as Staveley were 4-2 victors at Bottesford Town.
Pickering Town were the biggest winners as a Billy Logan hat-trick, two from Joe Danby and a Ryan Woodhead strike claimed a comprehensive 6-0 home victory over Barton Town Old Boys and Handsworth Parramore won 5-0 at Armthorpe Welfare with Luke Fletcher getting two of their goals.
Shaw Lane Aquaforce went through as goals in the first 22 minutes from Lee Morris, Joe Thornton and George Conway made it a 3-1 win at Thackley whilst Worksop Town needed extra time to win 3-1 at Athersley Recreation, Matt Booth and Chris Whincop with the vital goals, and Brody Robertson's hat-trick ensured a 4-1 victory at Parkgate for Cleethorpes Town.
In the two all-Division One ties, Adam Boddy got both of Lincoln Moorlands Railway's goals as they won 2-0 at Rossington Main and a Dean Rick double saw AFC Mansfield prevail, 3-1 at Eccleshill United.
And, AFC Emley have extended their lead at the top of Division One to six points in the only league match played in midweek.
A Martyn Severn own goal started the scoring at Winterton Rangers, Ashley Flynn and Kurtis Noble gave them a three goal advantage by the break before two late strikes from Doran Jordan and Paul Sykes made it 5-0.
