Colls need one win for historic promotion

Eli Hey’s destructiveness has put Pontefract on the brink of glory

Pontefract Collieries are one win away from their historic promotion to the Evo Stik after the incredible 3-0 victory at rivals AFC Mansfield.

The Colls will secure back-to-back promotions if they win at Maltby Main on Saturday. A further victory out of their final two matches would be enough to clinch the title.

On a night to be remember, local lad Mikey Dunn’s first half header put Craig Parry’s men on the front-foot.

Rudy Funk’s Mansfield were then blown away by two goals inside the opening 15 minutes of the second stanza. Eli Hey did all the hard work as he forced his way through Mansfield’s defence before his shot was tapped home by Aaron Moxam.

A brilliant Hey strike then killed the hosts off on the hour.
