Former Bradford (Park Avenue) striker Adam Morning consigned Ossett Albion to defeat in a tight contest with Colne.
The first half was a fairly even affair but Colne just shaded it with their greater accuracy of passing and ability to hold on to the ball.
The second half saw Albion raising their game to match the visitors, but they were still unable to make their passes count and gave the ball away too easily.
Colne finally made their passing and movement count after 70 minutes with a move down the left. A cross to the far post found Adam Morning in space and his header looped over Brett Souter in the Albion goal and into the top corner of the net.
The final 20 minutes saw a flurry of substitutions but they did not affect the game and Albion were perhaps unlucky not to claim a point.
The Team
Ossett Albion: Souter, Jones, Horne, Holt, Riordan, Paylor, Brunt (Hardaker), Walker (Ndlovu), Bordman, Matthews (Hunter), Eyles. Sub unused: Dawson.
