Nostell Miners Welfare 2-0 Garforth Town
James Grayson5 Feb 2014 - 15:46
Garforth Town’s served up arguably their worst performance of the season as Nostell Miners Welfare propelled themselves off the foot of the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division table with a 2-0 win.
Garforth were blown away by Nostell, who recorded only their second league win since August, inside the opening 20 minutes. Sheila
Former Garforth striker Alex Booker came back to haunt his old club with the first Nostell which was followed by Will Hayton’s free kick to earn them a deserved victory.
Just three minutes had gone when Nostell set the wheels in motion for an important win. The usually-reliable Jack Kirk gave away possession cheaply which allowed Hayton to cross and Booker to finish from close range.
Nostell looked dangerous every-time they bombed forward and the 75-strong crowd could probably sense a second goal – although the referee Dean Bradshaw will be having nightmares about it.
After harshly awarding Nostell a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, Bradshaw allowed his assistant Colin Unwin to handle a Welfare substitution.
With Unwin still on the half-way line and messing about checking Joe Penn for jewellery, the referee bizarrely allowed Nostell to take their free kick – even though he had no assistant in place to monitor the offsides.
Despite the referee’s error, Garforth can have no complaints about the goal as Hayton showed his experience by bending the ball around the wall and into the bottom corner past Michael Bathurst.
Garforth never properly threatened to mount a comeback. Bathurst was needed to keep the score down to two towards half-time when he denied the long-serving Darren Rushton.
The second half was a pretty non-event. The wind and rain helped Garforth enjoy a good ten minute period from which Nostell goalkeeper Ben Saynor made a couple of good saves from Joe Woodger and Joseph D’Antonio.
But the facts were that Garforth did not show up and Nostell were worthy winners and deserved to be celebrating going above Lincoln Moorlands Railway at the foot of the Division.
