Frickley Athletic v North Ferriby United

Recap

Our boys went toe to toe with the well resourced top of the league NFU, only to have points stolen from them by an absolute whopper of a decision not to award a foul on Brandon Murillo which directly lead to the only goal of the game. Does the ref get an assist??? It was so obvious even the NFU players appealed for a free kick for Frickley….

It was a game where chances were at a premium – we had the better of them & we were left to rue our misses.

Couple of games recently we haven’t been 100% but we’ve won – yesterday everyone was on their A game but we lost – football eh……

I’m not going to spend any more time on the refereeing howler that cost us the game – last night was all about the performance, & what a performance the boys delivered. A good few of them were running on fumes at the end but they still never took a backward step.

There was a downpour during the first half which made the pitch a little skiddy & possibly affected the game – but not as much as the farrago of the missed free kick that I’m not going to mention

WEBMASTER MOTM – it would be easy to award it to the whole squad, as they all stepped up to the plate but I get paid a lot of money to make tough decisions – so I’m awarding the Glitterball to….the whole squad! I really couldn’t single out one player – every one of them went over & above

TWITTER POLL MOTM – this one is voted for by the fans & they CAN make their minds up…& leading the way is Brandon Murillo – the rock in a very solid back line. Tucked in behind him was George Green with Jake Hemingway & Keelan Grist behind him. El Binno also polled votes. The votes for September will be collated to give us a Player of the Month which will be revealed in the next few days. Thank you to everyone who has voted

The Gaffer sums it up better than I can

267 through the gate – massive thank you to everyone for backing the boys. Our average home attendance this season (league & cup) is 217 which is brilliant – let’s see if we can push that average even higher

Next up we are away to Thackley on Saturday – the supporters coach will leave North Elmsall at 12.45pm, £10 adults, £5 under 16s. To book your places, call / text Ian on 07790 569075 or DM @jpclarkson2 on Twitter
