Toolstation NCEL Match Review 2022/23 #51

16th February, 2023

Iyrwah Gooden struck four times for Emley AFC as the Pewits reached the Final of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup in midweek for the first time in 21 years.

Their 7-0 demolition of Toolstation NCEL rivals Nostell Miners Welfare at the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground also included goals in the last twenty minutes for Alex Metcalfe, Joe Clegg and Rikki Paylor.

They will not face Penistone Church, however, as their fellow Premier Division side were knocked out at the Quarter-Finals stage with a 2-0 loss at Sheffield, a quickfire double with twenty minutes remaining settling the tie in the hosts' favour.

In the Premier Division, second-placed Winterton Rangers have closed the gap with leaders North Ferriby to six points after a 3-1 win at Frickley Athletic.

Martin Pembleton and Josh Walker gave them a two-goal cushion by the interval before Lloyd Smith pulled one back early in the second half for the home side and Walker's second once more doubled his side's advantage.

Harrison Coley's injury-time winner secured Barton Town a 2-1 win at Albion Sports to move the Swans up to seventh in the table.

Thomas Waudby had given them a 37th minute lead and both sides were reduced to ten men before Robbie Fox grabbed what seemed to be a dramatic equaliser for the Lions as the game ticked over into time added on.

But, Coley popped up to give his side the win that sees them leapfrog Silsden AFC and Knaresborough Town who both tasted defeat.

Silsden went down 4-2 at home to Bottesford Town, the visitors getting three vital points in their attempts to move out of the relegation zone, courtesy of goals from Jonathan Nyantou, Luke Ayris, Clayton Bryant and Joe Simpson.

The Poachers now find themselves down to five points away from safety after their victory.

And, Knaresborough were beaten 3-2 at Maltby Main with an Aaron Sennett-Neilson brace helping the Muglet Lane side to a win that sees them climb to twelfth.

Golcar United also moved in the right direction, up to thirteenth, with a 1-0 win at Eccleshill United, the decider coming in the 42nd minute from Slater Barkham-Barnes.

In Division One, Rossington Main now have a seventeen-point cushion in the play-off zone as the second-placed side won 6-0 at home to Beverley Town with Ross Hannah's hat-trick, his second in two games, added to by Jordan Buckham, Bradley Grayson and Jamie Green.

They are now within seven points of table-toppers Campion but they have played three games more than the leaders.

There was frustration for Harrogate Railway Athletic whose home game with Armthorpe Welfare was called off 35 minutes before kick-off due to thick fog.

The Rail are third, four points ahead of Staveley Miners Welfare who drew 1-1 at Derbyshire neighbours Shirebrook Town, Sam Hooper's early goal for the visiting Trojans cancelled out in the second half by Kiyani Clayton.

And, Wakefield AFC remain fifth after a roller-coaster 3-3 draw at home with Swallownest, Owen Haigh with an 82nd minute equaliser for the away side after Lewis Stephens' second had seemingly claimed the win for the Millennium Stadium hosts.

Athersley Recreation have jumped off the bottom of the table, replaced by Shirebrook, after a 4-1 victory at Ollerton Town, only their second away win of the season.

The scores were level 1-1 at the interval but the Rec took full control in the second half with Jamie Moxon, Hayden Webster and Lee Garside with the goals that sees them close the gap to safety to just two points in what is turning into a very tight relegation battle.

Meanwhile, Dempsey Smith struck in stoppage time to grab a point for hosts Worsbrough Bridge Athletic in a 2-2 draw with Retford FC and they stay fourteenth and eighth in the table, respectively.
