Albion Sports’ Tom Dugdale
Tom Dugdale celebrated his return to fitness by scoring the decisive goal for Albion Sports in their crazy 5-4 Premier Division victory over manager-less Liversedge.
Ben Grech-Brooksbank gave Liversedge the lead after the two minutes, but Albion responded by scoring five times before half-time.
Asif Hussain equalised from the penalty spot and brothers Delroy and Daniel Facey increased the score to 4-1 – Daniel scoring twice.
Dugdale then got on the score-sheet by getting the fifth goal in the 38th minute.
Liversedge, currently led by caretaker James Riordan, mounted a comeback – Gibril Bojang and former Farsley AFC defender Wes Milnes dragged the score to 5-3.
Brooksbank scored again in the last minute for Liversedge, who have admitted that they are in no rush to appoint Eric Gilchrist’s full-time successor.
Pickering Town started life since the sacking of Jimmy Reid by incredibly hammering high-flying Thackley 7-2.
Pickering are set to name Reid’s replacement tomorrow and his successor is likely to lose Arran Reid, Simon Sturdy, Dean Readman and Tommy Adams after their official Twitter page seemed to confirm their exits.
Adams scored twice in the demolition that also saw Joe Danby score a hat-trick and Josh Greening get one goal.
Nicky Matthews and striker David Brown scored for Thackley.
Due to Thackley’s poor result, Tadcaster Albion remain top of the table, despite drawing at 2-2 at Barton Town Old Boys – Carl Stewart and Nick Thompson found the net for Taddy.
