Frickley Athletic v Pontefract Collieries F C

Recap

It’s August, we’re 2nd top, life is good

It’s April, we’re 2nd bottom, not so good

A game with everything (red cards, penner scored, penner missed, hitting the woodwork, Perksys first goal for us) which ultimately left us with nothing except a mountain to climb on Saturday

Here’s your permutations for Shildon:
*If we lose or draw we end the season in an automatic relegation spot
*If we win & results go our way we can avoid the bottom 3 altogether
*If we win & results don’t go our way we will still end up in an automatic relegation spot

So there you have it

WEBMASTER MOTM – ROY was the most creative player on the pitch, & then it’s the usual suspects that stand out – Westy, Arun Jones, Kegan, Holli – but I’m giving the Glitterball to Nathan Perks. Came on as sub, got his goal & could / should have had a 2nd. Now Perksy is never going to be an Allott, a Hazel or a Margetts but he gave it everything & you can’t ask for more than that

TWITTER POLL MOTM – everyone loves a goalscorer, Perksy won the fans vote too, followed by Arun, Westy & Kegan with ROY & Nath Whitehead also polling votes. Thank you to everyone who voted

A very healthy 276 through the gate – thanks to everyone who gave up their Bank Holiday to come & support us

So, we go to the well one last time – we are away to Shildon on Saturday & we are running a supporters coach which will leave North Elmsall at 12.15pm. £10 adults, £5 under 16s. Ring / text Ian on 07790 569075 to book your place(s). Come on, we’ve come this far, may as well see it out
