Jacob Hazel scored the winner for Frickley
Jacob Hazel’s late winner ensured 2018 began with a bang for promotion-chasing Frickley Athletic, who won 4-3 in the pulsating clash with Chasetown.
The home side led for most of the first half until an unmarked Tyler Blake scored from a Frickley corner as the interval beckoned.
Hazel grabbed his first of the afternoon straight after the break, but the lead did not last long as Chasetown equalised almost immediately.
Benny Hill-style defending allowed Frickley to retake the lead again. A poor backward header from Chasetown defender Chris Baker enabled Blake to nip in and score.
Chasetown hit back again, but there was still time for Hazel to be the hero.
