Toolstation NCEL Division One
Selby Town 3-2 Retford United
Nick Kennedy equalised for Selby from the penalty spot
Selby Town were able to kick-start the exciting new era under Christian Fox by grabbing their first victory of the season in a tight contest with Retford United.
Selby showed great character to recover from being a goal down. Former York City youngster Nick Kennedy cancelled out Kyle Wesley’s opener by converting a penalty.
Selby then took the game to their visitors in the second half. Wing wizard Joe Dale added the second with a header.
Kieran Harris scored Selby’s third with an unbelievable 30-yard which rocketed home off the underside of the crossbar with nine minutes left on the clock.
Zak Khaufa set up a frantic finish with a further goal for Retford, but Selby held out.
The match ended with a mini brawl which ended with the dismissal of Retford’s Craig Laight. Selby goalkeeper Josh Archer saw yellow for his part in the ruckus.
Good win. Hopefully it can be followed up on Saturday.
