Halifax F.A. 4 Wharfedale F.A. 5
The Wharfedale F.A. Under 17's representative side won their last
game of the season in an
amazing game at Natty Lane, Illingworth, Halifax on Sunday 11th.
March 2007.
Playing against the wind in the first half on one of the worst
pitches imaginable (no fault of
Halifax F.A or Halifax Irish
and Ovenden West Riding who play on the ground) Halifax took
the lead in the 9th.
minute against the
run of play when Scott Firth played a ball back to his
'keeper who took a swing at
the ball on the edge of his
penalty area and missed completely
for the centre forward to run
around him and put the ball
into the empty net.
The luckless Scott Firth has had a really unlucky season with
injuries and he injured his ankle
again and had to be replaced by Adam Waite in the 15th. minute.
Wharfedale hit back in the 17th. minute when Eder Ruiz on the
right did brilliantly to find
LIAM ROBINSON
inside the penalty area and the prolific striker did the rest.
Wharfedale then went into the lead in the 44th. min.with a superb
goal again by ROBINSON,
he was again found by a lovely through ball by his striking
partner Ruiz and outpaced the
defender to hit a powerful shot past the outstanding Halifax
'keeper into the corner of the net.
In the 55th. minute Tom Sinnott came on for Tom McKenna, who had
played an outstanding
game to that point but Wharfedale had a shock in the 63rd.
minute when
Halifax scored twice
in the space of 2 minutes. Both goals came from slack defending
when first from a right wing
corner, the ball was headed in at the back post and then from a
free kick the ball was again
played high into the Wharfedale penalty area to the back post, the
ball was headed back into
the middle for the loose ball to be hit into the net.
Wharfedale were on the back foot now with the wind at their backs
and Louis Christoforou
who had also played very well was replaced by Jimmy Garner-Currie
in the 70th. minute.
Wharfedale finally got back into the game with an equaliser in the
78th. minute through mid
-fielder MATTHEW
CAVANAGH following
a corner when he forced the loose ball over
the line.
Again slack marking and indecision gave Halifax the lead within
a minute of the
visitors
equaliser.
Wharfedale threw everything forward and with the pitch not doing
any favours at all for either
team and with 5 minutes left to play there efforts were rewarded
when in the 85th. minute a
perfect corner from the Wharfedale right by Cavanagh saw ROBINSON
head into the net
after the Halifax 'keeper made his only mistake of the game after
playing superbly. It was
Robinson's hat-trick.
Better things were to come when in the 89th. minute another great
corner from Cavanagh
was hit into the middle for ROBINSON
to hit his 4th. and match
winning goal for
Wharfedale to snatch a hard earned victory.
Liam Robinson playing his last game for Wharfedale has been a
tremendous scorer of goals
in his one and a half seasons with the side. He will be sorely
missed as he will be too old next
season. Other players playing their last games are Captain Tom
Kilmurray who has been a
rock and very accomplished
player in defence, his partners in the centre of defence have
also
done really well in Tom
McKenna and Tom Sinnott. Scott Firth has also been a mainstay
in
the left full back position
even though he has been hit by an irritating ankle injury.
Some of the players have got better as the season has progressed,
Matthew Cavanagh had
his best game today, Paul Whiteley and James Davy have been
mainstays.
It's a shame that because of age they will no longer be available.
One of the Wharfedale stars
in this game was Adam Waite who had a
real blinder when he took over at left full back when
Scott Firth had to leave the field injured.
His performance was way ahead of anything he has shown previously,
his tackling, passing and
his runs down the line supporting his team mates on the attack was
a real revelation.
There are some good lads who will still be able to play next
season and they will learn from the
experiences they have gained this season, Eder Ruiz who made the
first 2 goals today,
Maxwell Milner who first played last season when 2 years under
age, Jimmy Garner-Currie and
Louis Christoforou who also did very well
today.
Thanks to Colin Grunwell the Manager for his efforts today and
also for the help of Steve Milner.
Could we also thank all the parents of the players for the support
they have given us over the
season and for their help in getting the players to home and away
matches alike. I can assure you
that your help is very much appreciated.
On behalf of the Wharfedale & District F.A. and the Team
Managers could I thank all the
players for the efforts they have put in this season, we have
finished in 3rd. place in the group
just one point off the play off Semi Finals at the West Riding
County F.A.
A very well done to all you lads, we hope that you have enjoyed
the experience, you were an
excellent squad and a credit to your parents and families.
Very best wishes in your football future and your life in general.
Reg. Allwood
Secretary.

Report by Vice President Rachel O'Connor

F.A. 1 Wharfedale F.A. 0
WHARFEDALE
FA U-17s failed to turn their possession into goals and paid the
penalty when they
lost to Craven at Gargrave on Sunday in the County Minor Cup.
James Scott had an early effort deflected over, Tom Sinnott
headed over and an Alex Bell cross was
cleared for a corner before Daniel Roundnell had to make an
excellent double save on the edge of his
area.
Wharfedale forced a further three successive corners which were
all cleared before Scott saw another
effort go just wide. Liam Robinson’s shot was easily taken by
the ‘keeper who then took Bell’s shot
on the turn. Bell then hammered a chance wide.
It was no different in the second-half with a string of chances
cleared before Craven bagged their goal
and then grew in stature. Anthony Griffin cleared an effort off
the line and at the other end James Scott
hit a post which just about summed up Wharfedale’s afternoon.
