Ossett Albion bowed out of the cup at the first hurdle when they lost 0-3 at home to Spennymoor Town.
With both sides showing numerous changes in their line-ups this game was always going to be an unknown quantity.
Spennymoor started at a fast pace and created a couple of early chances. Then Albion began to get into their stride and started to pass the ball with more effect. Unfortunately they still failed to have the finishing touch. This has been lacking all season and is preventing them from collecting the points that their build-up play merits.
Neither defence was seriously threatened in the first half and the teams went in on level terms at the interval.
The second half started with Albion forcing the pace and they created a few chances but again lacked the finishing touch.
Spennymoor then upped their pace and began to run and pass the ball with confidence. Gradually the pressure built up on Albion and in the 67th minute the breakthrough came. A floated corner-kick was fired into the net by Nathan Fisher to give visitors the lead.
This gave Spennymoor more confidence and they continued to play with pace and accuracy. Albion didn’t give up and pressed hard for an equaliser. With 2 minutes of normal time remaining Albion gave the ball away from a poorly taken corner. Spennymoor raced upfield, and with most of the Albion defenders out of position, they had little difficulty in extending their lead with Peter Brown providing the finish.
Then, just to rub salt in the wound, they added a third goal when Ben Sayer scored in the 3rd minute of added time. This gave a scoreline that didn’t do justice to Albion’s efforts.
