Northern Premier League Round-Up (1)
Division One East
Rod Orlando-Young was the Frickley Athletic hero as Dave Frecklington’s men earned themselves a massive 1-0 win over Stocksbridge Park Steels.
The victory was Frickley’s first since ironically beating Stocksbridge back in mid-November and their first in nine games.
The three points also lift them from 17th to 15th and above Tadcaster Albion and Bridlington Town.
Recent signing Orlando-Young found the net in the first half with a shot from inside the penalty area.
Frickley have had to be patient as Frecklington has had to rebuild the side again in recent weeks and with a clash with Sheffield FC looming on Saturday, the opportunity to raise spirits even higher is there.
Bridlington Town put in a solid performances at giants Marske United but they lost 2-1.
On loan Luis Aldard equalised for Brid at one stage.
Pickering Town lost a see-saw 4-3 battle at Dunston.
Pickering fought back three times but were undone by a late goal.
Jamie Thornton, Flynn McNaughton and Brandon Holdsworth scored for the Pikes.
