NCEL Match Review #12

18th September, 2008

There was FA Cup heartbreak for all three KoolSport NCEL sides who were in action in the competition in midweek.

Despite having home advantage, Selby Town, Bridlington Town and Rainworth Miners Welfare all bowed out of the competition.

Selby's rearranged game with Guiseley ended in a 4-0 defeat whilst the other two were beaten in replays.

Bridlington took the lead against Newcastle Benfield through Phil Harrison on 58 minutes but the visitors soon levelled through Scott Marshall and Paul Buzzeo grabbed the winner with a quarter-of-an-hour remaining.

And, Rainworth lost 3-1 to Stourbridge with all the goals coming in the first half.

Lee Wilkinson had brought them back level on 25 minutes after an early opener from Nathan Bennett but Ryan Mahon and then James Dyson from the penalty spot made it a night of frustration for Rudy Funk's side.

In the Premier Division, leaders Liversedge were beaten 3-1 at Mickleover Sports who move into second with a 100% record so far from their five games.

The match was goalless going into the last quarter before Ricky Law and then a brace from Dave Middleditch put the hosts in command, Luke Sherman got a late consolation for Sedge.

Pickering Town are now fifth and are still unbeaten after their win by the same scoreline at home to Armthorpe Welfare.

Again, all the goals came in the last 22 minutes but it was Welfare who took the lead through Henry Sibenge.

Rob Eeles levelled for the Pikes before Ricky Greening put them in the lead on 75 minutes and then, four minutes later, a Ricky Sharp own goal sealed the points.

And, Eccleshill United have dropped to the bottom of the table after a 6-0 pummelling at home to Arnold Town who are now ninth.

A Craig Mitchell hat-trick plus a double from Nick Hall and one from David Wilkins made it a miserable night for the home side in the battle of the League's two Eagles.

It means that Eccleshill have conceded 34 goals in 7 league games and management duo Mick Watson and Andy Patterson have since left the club.

There are happier times for Scarborough Athletic who remain top of Division One after a 2-0 win at bottom side Glasshoughton Welfare.

A Ryan Blott goal on 57 minutes and a Scott Phillips penalty claimed the win against a Welfare side that showed more resilience under new boss, Wayne Day.

Leeds Carnegie climb to second as Alex Smith's goal ten minutes from time snatched them a 1-0 victory at Yorkshire Amateur.

First half goals from Nathan White and Mark Anderson moved Barton Town Old Boys up to fourth after their 2-1 win over visitors Brighouse Town.

Teversal climbed to fifth as Jamie Smith and Michael Lyall found the net in their 2-0 win at home to Rossington Main, ahead on goal difference of Pontefract Collieries who beat Bottesford Town 2-1 at the K Profiles Stadium.

Michael Long and Dean Helliwell gave them a two-goal cushion by the break before Phil Jackman pulled one back early in the second period.

Meanwhile, the Presidents Cup First Round match between Hall Road Rangers and Staveley Miners Welfare was abandoned after 58 minutes.

The start of the game had been delayed due to floodlight problems and, when concerns grew in the second half about the safety of the generator, it was decided that the game could not continue.
