Draw enough to give Golcar u16 Title |
|
|
|
|
|
Golcar nerves were stretched
to the limit as two late Sikstone goals threatened to spoil United's party
but Golcar held on to take the under 16 League Title |
|
|
|
|
|
Having drawn their first league
meeting with Silkstone and lost to them in a cup penalty shoot out, Golcar
entered the game needing a single point to seal the title while, for the
home side, only a victory would keep them in the title race. |

Although Silkstone enjoyed the
lion's share of possession in the opening encounters, Golcar came nearest to
scoring when a 15 yard shot skimmed the top of the cross bar and keeper
Hamish Harrison pulled off a superb save before Liam Hallam finally
grabbed the opening goal for United. |

Edward Wilson almost doubled
United's advantage early in the second half but his blistering 30 yard free
kick rebounded from the cross bar. |

|
Jacob Robertson eased United's
nerves when he headed home a corner kick to double United's advantage on the
hour but, after a period of Golcar dominance, Silkstone's fight back started
when Ben Armitage fired home. |
|
|
|
|
|
Although Silkstone continued to
pile on the pressure, Golcar seemed to be heading for victory until Tim
Brook equalised in the first minute of injury time. Despite the
setback, Golcar held on to the point which gave them the title. |
