Results

Shelf A 2 Gommersal A 4

A promising start to the season was only 5 minutes away,   however 2 late goals couldn't dampen a strong team performance and bodes well for the coming season.  Well done to the team and fantastic home support

Shelf Goals: Josh Laban and Jack Savage.

Drighlington A 7 Shelf A 1

It was only after the first 5 minutes when the team were 5 nil down did they realise they were in a football match.  A much improved performance stemmed the tide of goals for the remainder of the match.  Although we were playing a strong team, everyone knuckled down and we were unlucky to loose the second half.  Keep smiling..

Goal Josh Laban

MOTM: Jack Savage

Shelf A 4 Clifton Rangers 2

The first victory of the season was without their Manager at their side!  Well done to Mark for getting the team prepared and motivated.  A hard fought match was capped by a Hat-Trick from Colm and some inspired goal keeping by Oliver.  Well Done team, well deserved.

Goals Colm Rafferty (3), Josh Laban

Batley A 2 Shelf A 7

Our first rout!  After an even 1st half the team played very well in the 2nd half and made most of the down hill slope and Olivers long kick outs.  2 Hat-tricks in the score-line for Josh and Jack and a tap in for Colm - Unprecedented for the team as they have their first ever back to back wins.

Shelf A 9 Brighouse B 2

3 on the trot!!!  The contest was effectively over after we went 6 - 0 up in 5 mins!  Our first goal was direct from a corner!!  There was even a call by our referee to reduce the number of our team.  However, credit to Brighouse they knuckled in and made the 2nd Half a more respectable game.

Rastrick A 8 Shelf A 3

A disappointing result as we took an early lead through some exceptional football. However we could not hold it together and Rastrick  played soem good football to run out worthy winners.  We had the chances to put this game beyond reach but we just lacked a little composure when it mattered. 

Goals: Colm Rafferty (2) Josh Laban (1)

MOTM: Oliver Ratcliffe

 Shelf A 2 Wyke Wanderers A 1

As always with Wyke a very tense and close affair, but we came out on top with a deserved win.  We had more than enough chances to finish the game off, but their keeper had a great 2nd half.   This was probably our best result in terms of chances and playing as a team and on a heavy pitch - Well done everyone

Goals: Josh Laban and Colm Rafferty

 Shelf A 0 Dewsbury Rangers 7

 A cold and wet morning on a new pitch was hard going for the team.  At half time we were only 2 nil down and the game was evenly matched, we were looking to pass the ball around which was encouraging but we lacked a little bit of composure when it mattered most.  Towards the end of the 2nd half we tired as we only had one sub to their 3 and a few mistakes crept in.  The biggest plus was that we kept going and spirits remained high despite the mud and scoreline.
