Ossett Town Tornados 3 Nostell Miners Welfare 1

Scorers – Billy Pert , Lewis Stephens , Ewan Broadbent

Man of the match – Lewis Stephens/Ewan Broadbent

The Tornado’s lined up with James Ferguson in goal , Jacob Nash and Lauren Lovelock in defence and in front of them Lewis Stephens/Kieran Stephenson/Ewan Broadbent/Billy Pert formed a formidable looking ‘diamond’ formation . Jarrod Oakes started on the bench.

A bright start saw the Tornado’s roar out of traps and open the scoring when a quick through ball finds Billy Pert who’s finish with the outside of the right foot is sublime (1-0) . The new formation really seems to suit the boys as the passing is sharp and quick and with Jacob Nash and Lauren Lovelock looking on-form and confident, the Tornado’s are on top for long parts of the half . From a corner, the ball is whipped in to the back post by Ewan Broadbent and met first time by Lewis Stephens for the 2nd (2-0). Nostell attacks are dealt with confidence by Lauren Lovelock and Jarrod Oakes who’s interceptions are well timed and followed by accurate passes into the feet of the midfield . Kieran Stephenson’s influence on the game is massive as he attacks and defends giving his midfield teammates plenty of space to work with , but half time comes with score at (2-0)

The 2nd half kicks off with the teams refreshed and looking for goals , early chances fall to both Lewis Stephens and Billy Pert. Kieran Stephenson tries his luck after a trademark weaving run but Nostell hold firm.

The visitors look to test James Ferguson in goal but are restricted to long range shots that James mops up with ease. Jacob Nash , now in midfield , surges forward in search of an opening and Jarrod Oakes looks to create down the left , but the best chance of the half comes when Lewis Stephens breaks from midfield and whips in a inch perfect cross and Broadbent must score …..but the wind plays it’s part and the chance goes over * undeterred the team push forward again and a lovely through ball finds Ewan Broadbent lurking with a primed left foot and the score is increased(3-0) . 3 goals in the bag but the team wants that 0 after it and some fine defending from the impressive Lauren Lovelock , Jacob Nash with his electric pace and Jarrod Oakes’s calmness and skill on the ball and not forgetting James Ferguson who was rock solid again in goal the Tornado’s see out the game (3-0)

Another excellent outing for the Tornado’s , superb all round team play both going forward and in defence gave the team a deserved result , man of the match was a tough choice but for their attacking play, team work and general great attitude Lewis Stephens and Ewan Broadbent took home the trophies.

* for the sake of harmony at home the wind DID alter the flight of the ball…………whatever Dubes!!!!!

The midfield is full of energy and skill as James Higgins and Jacob Dransfield take the game to Nostell creating several chances for the front pair . At the back David Rushton and Samuel Bowers look strong in the tackle and use the ball well either playing balls in the midfield or simply clearing the danger to keep Nostell at bay. Chances come and go for the Mavericks Jake Gledhill and Luke Townend threaten to increase the lead but that comes when a lightening break see’s a cross across the box and Max Pollitt roars on to it and must score !!... but the smashes his shot against the bar and following up James Higgins nets the 2nd (2-0) . Nostell are constantly frustrated by a combination of David Rushton/ Samuel Bowers and Stephen Hosty in goal and the half time score remains (2-0)

After a half like that , the team talk is easy ‘ same again lads ‘ and that’s just what happens as from the kick off Luke Townend smashes home the third from the edge of the box (3-0) and that is quickly followed by no 4 scored by the same lethal right foot belonging to Luke Townend (4-0) , No 5 almost come when Jacob Dransfield weaves his way through from the half way line and almost scores but he doesn’t have to wait long as he drills home his 2nd and his teams 5th (5-0) . It’s not all one way traffic , but despite the best efforts of a spirited Nostell side there is simply no way past Stephen Hosty , David Rushton and Samuel Bowers . Another flowing move see’s Max Pollitt grab a deserved goal he smashes home from the edge of the area (6-0) , the score could have been more but the Mavericks are happy with their haul and more importantly the clean sheet that emphasises the impressive team work .

Skillfull , fast and great passing sums up the Mavericks again today , goals come from all angles in this team and today was no different , Man of the match went to a hard working , skillfull player who puts in 100% every week , the kind of player every team needs , well done Max Pollitt

Jake Gledhill's super midfield work gives James Higgins the time to find Jacob Dransfield but the Kippax defence clear , Kippax look like increasing the lead but David Rushton and Jacob Dransfield combine to clear the danger. Ossett go for the equalizer , Jake Gledhill plays in Jacob Dransfield , Samuel Bowers and Joshua Childe combine to find Jacob Dransfield who's run and pass finds Joshua Childe on the overlap , the return ball is perfect for Jacob Dransfield to drill home (1-1) Half time

The Break seems to inspire the Mavericks , William Mullen wins the ball and charges forward playing in Joshua Childe for a chance, from the corner Luke Townend shots wide but Ossett take the lead when James Higgins picks his way through the defence and calmly makes it (2-1) . The Mavericks hit top gear now, a sweeping move sees Jacob Dransfield play in Luke Townend who's cross is slammed on to the bar by James Higgins then an almost identical move sees Jacob Dransfield cross , James Higgins hit the post but following up Joshua Childe's left boot makes it (3-1)

A real return to form for the Mavericks with a excellent team display , man of the match could have gone several ways but for his hard work and non stop battling display Jake Gledhill took the plaudits! Well done.

Man of the Match - James Ferguson

The in-form Tornado's lined up with a familiar look about them, Max Pollit in goal, Jarrod Oakes and James Ferguson at the back and in midfield Lauren Lovelock and Lewis Stephens, with Ewan Broadbent and Kieran Stephenson up front. Jacob Nash started on the bench. Wortley won the toss and kick off with the wind at their backs, early Ossett pressure sees Lewis Stephens and Lauren Lovelock combine to set Ewan Broadbent free on the left but Wortley force the ball out for a throw in.

Wortley's first attack finds Jarrod Oakes hard to pass as he clears and sets Lewis Stephens away on the right but his early cross is gathered by the keeper.  Kieran Stephenson wins the ball in midfield who instantly finds Ewan Broadbent on the left, who beats his man and whips in a cross that is inches away from Kieran Stephenson's head and the opening goal, with the next attack Lauren Lovelock's weaving run beat three men before find Ewan Broadbent who's snap shot goes wide.

It's not all one way traffic but Wortley are finding Jarrod Oakes and James Ferguson in top form.  Jacob Nash is on now and joining what is becoming a real midfield battle the but the half ends all square (0-0).

The second half starts with Lauren Lovelock storming down the right and crossing but the keeper collects.  Chasing the first goal Ossett really pile on the pressure, James Ferguson tries his luck from a distance, Lewis Stephens whips in a cross that is cleared from the toe of Jacob Nash for a corner ,which is played first time for Ewan Broadbent whos shot goes wide. Lewis Stephens and Ewan Broadbent combine to give James Ferguson time to shoot.

The Ossett midfield are having to work overtime, Lauren Lovelock and Jacob Nash combine and force another corner with the clock ticking.  The ball is bent in by Lewis Stephens and the ball is half cleared to the lurking James Ferguson, who cleverly picks his spot to open the scoring (1-0).  There is enough time left to take the kick off but that's all - Full time (1-0). A deserved win for the Tornado's but one that they had to work hard for against a committed Wortley side.

Man of the match was a tough choice with so many excellent performances, but James Ferguson stood out with performance that was calm, assured and in the end, match winning! Well done.

Ossett Town Mavericks 0 - 4 Wortley

Man of the Match - Joshua Childe

The Mavericks looked to continue there good form and lined up with Stephen Hosty in goal, Samuel Bowers and Joshua Childe in defence, David Rushton and Luke Townend in midfield with a front of Jake Gledhill and James Higgins.  Jacob Dransfield started on the bench.  Wortley kicked off and immediately attacked but Samuel Bowers cleared any danger, James Higgins and David Rushton both have chances to score as the ball broke to each of them.

More Wortley pressure sees Joshua Chile stop the attack then break down the left flank playing an inch perfect ball to James Higgins who sees his shot flash wide.  Wortley break and open the scoring (0-1).  Ossett push again and win a corner which is played short to Samuel Bowers who's smart ball back to James Higgins, gives him the chance to pick out Luke Townend only to see his shot well saved!

Wortley attack at speed and increased the lead (0-2).  Luke Townend creates a chance following superb play from Jake Gledhill but from his cross, Jacob Dransfield's shot flies over the bar.  From another Wortley attack the score is increased to (0-3).  Stephen Hosty is busy in goal but despite making plenty of good saves can't do anything as the half time score is (0-4).

Ossett start the second half fresh from a half time team talk that seems to have inspired the Mavericks, James Higgins crosses for David Rushton to shoot wide.  Wortley break and look dangerous until the superb Samuel Bower's last ditch tackle prevents more goals.  More Ossett pressure sees chances for James Higgins, from a corner Jake Gledhill shoots wide, Luke Townend's cross sees Joshua Childe force the keeper into a sharp save, it's all Ossett now, Jacob Dransfield has a shot blocked, Jake Gledhill shoots wide but despite constant pressure the Mavericks are frustrated and the game ends (0-4).

A game of two halves for the Mavericks, not a at the races in the first half but alive and sharp in the second half, only the second defeat of the season for the Mavericks but one that will stand them in good stead for the games ahead.

Man of the match went to Joshua Childe for a great performance in defence AND attack showing great intelligence in stopping and starting attacks.  Well done!

Ossett Town Lynx 3 v 1Wortley

Scorers - Bailey Rawdon (3)

Man of the Match  - Max Pollit

As the weather turned at Highfields the Lynx lined up with William Mullen in goal, Jack Fisher and Matthew Norfolk in defence, Max Pollit and William Kenworthy in midfield with a front three of Bailey Rawdon, Sean Smith and Ioan Williams.  Stephen Hosty started on the bench.

The Lynx start in good form William Kenworthy and Max Pollit are in good shape in midfield and William Kenworthys hard work gives Max Pollit the platform to show the "Skills that pay the bills".  Bailey Rawdon is looking dangerous upfront with Sean Smith and Ioan Williams giving great support.  Wortleys attacks are snuffed out by Jack Fisher and Matthew Norfolk in defence who both attack when the chance presents itself but against the run of play, Wortley break and score (0-1) giving William Mullen no chance.

Playing into the wind is proving a tough task for the Lynx but the effort and enthusiasm is excellent but despite this the half ends (0-1).

The second half starts, fresh from a half time team talk that seems to have stirred the Lynx, Max Pollit is driving the team on in midfield, assisted by the hard work of William Kenworthy and Baily Rawdon converts a chance to make the score (1-1).

Jack Fisher is proving to be a rock at the back giving the midfield the opportunity to drive forward and Ossett take the lead when another chance falls to the dangerous Bailey Rawdon and the lead is taken (2-1).

Sean Smith starts the attack that seals the game playing the ball into Stephen Hosty whose clever pass finds Ioan Williams who in turn finds Bailey Rawdon and he makes no mistake to complete the scoring and his hat trick (3-1).

The Lynx could have added more but Wortleys keeper is more than a match for the what the Lynx have to throw at him.   Credit has to go to both teams who played out a fantastic match in foul weather and never once let the effort drop below than 110%.

Man of the match was again a tough choice but for his skill, drive and determination Max Pollit was a worthy recipient.

Well done to all players on both sides for a marvellous mornings football.  Well done!

Ossett Town Lynx 0 Rothwell Town 1

Man of the match - Team award

The Lynx lined up with Lewis Stephens in goal , Jack Fisher and William Mullen at the back , a midfield duo of Ioan Williams and Max Pollitt,and up front to start with Elliott Robinson and Matthew Norfolk . Sean Smith and Jake Gledhill start on the bench

Ossett kick off and are immediately put under pressure as Rothwell win a corner kick but the Lynx look determined to keep there goal intact but also to launch attacks of their own Elliott Robinsons powerful run threatens the break through and with Matthew Norfolk snapping at the heels of any Rothwell player with the ball the Lynx show Rothwell that they won't have it all there own way. From nowhere Elliott Robinson shoots at goal , and only a deflection saves Rothwell from going behind . Ossetts defence is under constant pressure but William Mullen and Jack Fisher are superb as they clear attack after attack , but at the other end a Max Pollitt shot flashes wide and Jake Gledhill is giving the Rothwell defence no peace as he chases down every ball .Sean Smith and Ioan Wiiliams's hard work in midfield doesn't go unnoticed as Rothwell have to work hard for the lead which comes when a long range shot beats Lewis Stephens (0-1) Half Time

You could of been forgiven in thinking Sven Goran Erikksson was in charge ,as Rothwell fielded a completely changed lined up for the 2nd half but whoever was playing the Lynx would have kept them out as Lewis Stephens produces a string of fine saves to keep the score 0-1 and with Lewis Stephens also supplying the marauding Jake Gledhill with a constant supply of through balls to chase down .But despite this the Lynx find Rothwell a tough nut to crack, Jack Fisher , who had passed a late fitness test to play , is excellant in defence with his partner William Mullen and with the added insurance of Matthew Norfolk and Elliott Robinson doing the the hard work in front of them Ossett restrict Rothwell to long range shots only and the game ends (0-1)

A game that turned out to be a real test for the Lynx but one that was passed with flying colours as they more than held there own. Again the Man of the match award was a tough choice ,special mention to Matthew Norfolk for an all action display and Jake Gledhill who chased every ball and on another day would have more to show for his efforts , but for there collective team effort the award was shared by the team - WELL DONE guys

Sam Bowers hard work up front creates a chance which again is cleared, and at the other end William and Ioan are giving it there all tackling anything in orange!! Behind them is the confident looking Hosty shows he is not afraid to go in where the boots are flying but can't do anything as Tingley make it 2-0.  On the stroke of half time another Tingley attack results in a harshly awarded penalty but Stephen stands tall to foil Tingley with an excellent save.   Half time 0-2 The second half starts with more Tigers pressure but more excellent Lynx defence, Mullen and Williams looking like really astute, transfer window signing giving the midfield two of Rushton and Oakes the chance to pull the Lynx strings.  Elliott's strong runs are giving the Tigers problems now but a quick break sees the score at 0-3. A Tigers corner is well cleared by Ioan to the fresh legs of Matthew who finds Elliott with a sharp pass.  David replaces Ioan in midfield but can do nothing about the Tigers fourth goal (0-4) . Showing great resolve the Lynx continue to press forward and Jarrod wins a free kick in dangerous territory which William thunders in forcing the keeper into a great save.  As the final whistle blows the Lynx can feel proud at a great performance against a strong Tingley Tigers team.  Man of the Match was hard to choose but on debut William Mullen deserved his award for a solid performance in defence.  Special mention to Stephen for his penalty save and all round game. Looking forward to next week for more of the same.  Well done.
