Day hits dramatic winner as Campion stun NPL side Pontefract 

West Riding County Cup 

Campion striker Marcus Day

Marcus Day hit the last minute goal as Campion caused an earthquake in the West Riding County Cup for the second successive campaign after knocking out in-form NPL side Pontefract Collieries.

Day’s goal capped a stunning finish which saw runaway Toolstation NCEL Division One leaders Campion equalise with four minutes to go. 

The Colls had been sailing through until the grandstand finish.

Jack Shepherd headed home in the 14th minute and that appeared to be enough for Craig Rouse’s men.

However, the late twist was triggered by Marcus Harper’s equaliser before Day had the final word.
