Guest shows nerves of steel to rescue Penistone

Toolstation NCEL Premier Division Round-Up (1)

Penistone Church hero Nick Guest

Nick Guest showed nerves of steel after scoring a last minute penalty to rescue a 1-1 draw Penistone Church in the opening day battle at Eccleshill United.

Eccleshill looked certain to have snatched all three points after Luke Aldrich had scored with just three minutes to go.

But Ian Richards’ side salvaged something out of the match. 

Jordan Coduri was the man felled and former Hemsworth Miners Welfare fans favourite Guest was as cool as a cucumber as he slotted home the equaliser.
