Toolstation NCEL Division One Round-Up (2)
Nine-man Swallownest bravely managed to hold onto a point in the 1-1 draw at Glasshoughton Welfare.
Callum Greaves’ first half red card gave Alex Nightingale’s men a huge uphill battle but it was one they clearly relished.
The second half began in a dream-like fashion for ‘Nest.
Alex Lill crossed and the in-form Jack Appleyard rose to head home.
Swallownest held out until the final eight minutes when recent signing Miguel Cassana grabbed his first goal for Glasshoughton.
The visitors then faced a difficult task as James Woodhouse received a second yellow card but they managed to hold out and claim a point.
Selby Town were four minutes away from securing a memorable victory but a Dylan Parkin own goal saw Retford FC rescue a 3-3 draw.
Selby had spectacularly turned around a 2-0 half-time deficit to lead 3-2 at home.
Harry Clapham and a Liam Flanagan penalty eradicated Retford’s lead to totally change the complexion of the game.
Substitute Jon-Paul Vass then put Selby ahead, literally just after coming on.
But it wasn’t to be for Christian Fox’s side who had to settle for a point.
Worsbrough Bridge’s fantastic start is now a stellar start as Luke Forgione’s men won 3-0 to end Parkgate’s unbeaten opening to the campaign.
The stunning victory was kick-started by Lewis O’Connor’s 12th minute deadlock breaker.
Striker Michael Jepps finished the job in the second half with a double.
