MATCH REPORT

A 0-0 draw away to Knaresborough yesterday saw us extend our unbeaten league run to 19 games, a new club record.

With the absence of Harry Coates from suspension, Corey Billy started in the heart of defence helping us to keep our 12th clean sheet of the campaign.

Both sides created chances but neither could capitalise and find an opening goal, the draw probably a fair result in the end.

Having officially joined the club the morning of the game, Robbie Fox went straight into the XI and almost got off to a dream start when his low shot from the edge of the area hit the side netting.

Knaresborough began to fashion some great opportunities late into the first half.

Brad Walker was causing problems down the left and two of his passes found Ben Parkes and Theo Hudson respectively who both lashed efforts wide of the target.

We came out of the blocks quickly in the second half, Casey Stewart shooting over from range before sending a controlled volley wide.

On 67 minutes Stewart saw a powerful drive initially spilled by Tom Brown however he got up quickly to smother the ball before Fox could force home.

Our best opportunity cam on 73 minutes as we broke with pace following a Town corner.

Fox led the charge up the field and broke into the penalty area with his shot being fired at Brown who did well to save and hold on.

With neither team breaking the deadlock, the points were shared seeing us maintain our 10 point gap at the summit of the NCEL Prem table with a short turnaround as we welcome Rossington to the Regal Interiors this Tuesday.
