Incredible Curtly enjoys explosive debut

Evo Stik Premier Division

Frickley Athletic 4-0 Ilkeston FC

Curtly Martin-Wyatt is already a popular figure at Frickley Athletic

Curtly Martin-Wyatt incredibly scored a hat-trick on his debut for Frickley Athletic.

It was an explosive introduction to his new supporters in a must-win game for Frickley – a debut that must be one of the most memorable in recent memory at Westfield Lane.

Frickley now have 23 points and a good chance of survival going into the festive schedule, a fantastic achievement for Lee Morris, who has an impressive start at Frickley given that he inherited a team with zero points back in September.

Just five minutes is all it took for former Garforth striker Martin-Wyatt to open his account with a fine finish.

Ilkeston made it a little easier for Frickley when Danny Gordon was sent off after a dangerous tackle.

Frickley had to wait until midway through the second half to double their lead. That privilege fell to captain Rhys Meynell who headed home at the back-post – minutes before Martin-Wyatt got his second.

Tom Gamblen was the second Ilkeston player to be dismissed, late-on. And the win was completed fittingly by Martin-Wyatt who sealed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after his old Garforth and Leeds Met colleague Gary Stohrer was sliced up.

The Team

Frickley Athletic: Malkowski, Stohrer, Parkinson, Waters, Lawrence, Meynell (captain), Hinsley, Valentine, Martin-Wyatt, Muskwe, Williams. Subs: Mangham, Rigby, Thornton, Morris, Diggles.

  1. Well done Curtly, can’t ask for anymore on a debut, have to say though Ilkeston were a poor team & down to 9 men, let’s hope frickley can do it against the better teams now to get to safety.
