Derry Robson and David Taylor, two of the youngest managers in the history of Non League Football, enjoyed the best possible starts to their managerial careers at Goole AFC.
It didn’t start well as Scott Bakkor’s looping header put Colwyn Bay in front after 16 minutes.
Goole responded in ferocious style. Bobby Johnson headed the equaliser before Nathan Modest scored with a well-struck strike from the edge of the penalty area.
Modest scored again in similar circumstances midway through the second half.
Goole defended well and goalkeeper Thomas Beaurepaire earned the man of the match award after making a brilliant save from a Louis Corrigan.
The Team
Goole AFC: Beaurepaire, Stannard, Jeff, Constable, Varley, Liversidge, Johnson, Robson (captain), Hutchinson, Semley, Modest. Subs: Law, Dennison, Nicholson, Chambers, Barford.
