Squires Gate vs Bootle

v Bootle 12.04.2016 NWCFL Premier Division Kick Off: 19:45 Issue 22 ÂŁ1.50

DANNY

PENSWICK Good evening everyone.

I’d like to welcome the Bootle supporters, players and committee to Squires Gate, in what will be a key game for us as results have been disappointing of late and I’ll be expecting a marked improvement tonight. In some games, we have been playing well from the start but in others we are taking 20-25 minutes to get into the game which for me isn’t good enough.

“I’ll be expecting a marked improvement tonight” On Saturday against Winsford we were excellent between both boxes but we just need a bit of luck in the final third. Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do on a football field and we've lost the knack recently. We understand it’s frustrating for supporters to watch but it will eventually come. We are creating some goal scoring opportunities but unable to put them away.

“We just need a bit of luck in the final third” That said were still playing some good stuff and I'm sure one will go in off our ear sooner rather than later. Well we definitely need it to, with the games we have coming up. It’s going to be a tough run in to stay in this division but I think we have a squad capable of survival. I don’t like to use the cliché but we are just focusing on each game as it comes.

“It’s going to be a tough run in to stay in this division” There's a good buzz around the place and let's hope we can take that forward into tonight's game. Let's hope we see some goal and a positive result for the lads. Id also like to give a special mention to Albert Cooper who turns 80 tomorrow. That’s it from me,

Up the Gate!

Ben Fletcher (Sponsored by S.E.I. [Maintenance] LTD) Superb young shot stopper that had a tremendous season last year. He kept numerous clean sheets and played every single minute of every single game. 2015/16 will be his 3rd season with the club where he’ll be looking to continue his fine form.

Nathan Trout (Available for sponsorship) Nathan moved to the Fylde coast from Liverpool. A ball winning centre half that has a big presence on the pitch, he’ll be hoping to force his way into the team and make his position his own.

Alex Colquhoun (Available for sponsorship) After a short spell at the club last season, Alex has returned to the club hungry and determined to play on a regular basis. He showed signs of quality last season and will be looking to cement his place in the 2015/16 season.

Brett Ferguson (Sponsored by Service Solutions Direct Ltd) One of the main characters within the changing room, “Channy” as he is called, always has stories to tell, consistently produced good displays during last season and got on the score sheet on numerous occasions. A very adaptable player that has made a huge impression on all within the club. Winner of Clubman of the Year 2014/15.

Andy Richards (Available for sponsorship) A club stalwart! ‘Rico’ as he is known, has been with the club for many seasons and has become a linchpin of the side. His performances and changing room experience has played a vital role in recent success. A player with many superstitions that is well liked at the club.

Josh Westwood (Sponsored by Mark Ashmore) Josh was a rock at the heart of defence during last season. He produced some fine individual displays and chipped in with a few headed goals. A quiet individual but very popular player that lets his feet, or head do the talking. Josh is also adaptable to play up front.

Mike Hall (Available for sponsorship) Mike was only with Gate briefly last season but his knowledge and experience of the game was beneficial to all that played alongside him. He was influential in his performances and will be looking to have the same impact throughout the 2015/16 season.

Conah Bishop (Available for sponsorship) Conah is one of the youngest players in the squad and plays on the right side of midfield. He has the pace to run at the opposition and can also score goals. He is a great addition to the team.

Joe Noblet (Available for sponsorship) Joe had a spell with Gate a few seasons ago, and returned under the new management of Danny Penswick. He is an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal and will be sure to add goals to the squad.

Alex McKendrick (Available for sponsorship) Alex has been at the club for a number of seasons, first arriving under the stewardship of ex manager Russ McKenna. His work rate and willingness to do the unfashionable jobs in a game have been hugely important to the team. Injury put a halt to his 2014/15 season but he’ll be looking to come back a stronger player this season.

Billy McKenna (Available for sponsorship) The flying winger missed a large part of last season due to injury but is looking to make the right midfield position his own. A popular player within the changing room that can have a big influence on games when in the mood.

Antony Stayte (Available for sponsorship) Stayte is a great addition to the squad, who brings experience from his time at AFC Fylde and from teams in a higher tier. He knows how to organise and motivate his team mates and is very good at holding the ball up.

Ashley Rowley (Sponsored by TravelCare World) Ash joined Gate towards the end of last season, and impressed in the time he played. He scored a crucial equaliser at home to Congleton Town and will be looking to have an impact this season.

Danny Penswick (Sponsored by Bill White) Danny is the manager and captain of the club. He first joined midway through the 2013/14 season and soon established himself as a leader and highly influential player. His game understanding and levels of performance have seen him become a focal point of the team.

Mark Buchan (Available for sponsorship) Mark models himself on Ally McCoist. A fiery Scot that knows where the goal is. His workmanlike performances often go unnoticed, but he scored some valuable goals during last season. An influential player both on and off the pitch and will be a key player during this season.

Aaron Clarke (Available for sponsorship) Aaron was part of the Kirkham and Wesham squad which was victorious at Wembley in 2008. Unfortunately for Aaron, he picked up an injury the week before the final so didn’t take part in the game. A quick striker who possesses skill and eye for a pass and can also play in behind the striker in attacking midfield. Aaron will be looking to cement a spot up top and to fire Gate up the table.

Ryan Tanser (Available for sponsorship) Ryan joined the club in October and came off the bench in the 5-2 defeat away at Atherton Collieries. He scored his first goal for the club on his first full debut in our 5-1 win over Maine Road in the MEN United cup. He will bring goals to the team for sure.

(STAYTE 60) GIBSON 10 10 HIND TANSER 11 11 HARDY Squires Gate welcomed Abbey Hey to The Royal British Legion Stadium on Saturday looking to bounce back from Easter Monday's Derby day loss against AFC Blackpool.

Gate welcomed back Nathan Trout and Jamie Gibson into the starting 11 aswell as Ryan Riley who started on the bench.

Riley wouldn't have to wait long before his introduction though.

Mark Buchan pulling his groin after 20 minutes meant Riley would be put to use. Before then Gate had started well with Buchan being involved throughout. Billy McKenna had several chances in the first 10 minutes but perhaps took a touch too many before passing or shooting, allowing the Hey defender to win the ball.

Abbey Hey had their best spell of the game in a mad five minutes. First their winger had a shot easily saved from Woods. Then the visitors had four continuous corners to worry Gate before George Noon finally fired wide. The last chance of the half came to Gate and was probably their best of the first half.

The referee stopping play for a pass back to Abbey Hey's keeper which was picked up. But unfortunately the direct free kick came to nothing for Gate and the ref blew for half time.

Half Time: Squires Gate 0-0 Abbey Hey

Gate had Josh Woods to thank after 74 minutes when he did well to save an effort from Sam Hind at the near post Gate could have won the game late on with a late free kick. But Ryan Riley's free kick cannoned straight off the wall in the 90th minute.

The result see's Gate move one point further away from the relegation zone with every other club around them loosing today. Gate are next in action next Saturday when they travel to 14th place Winsford United.

The away side started the better side in Report by Mark Ashmore i the second half with Ashford Blake cutting in off the right hand side before shooting wide. Great play from Joe Noblet set up Gates next chance. His ball across the pitch to find Billy Mckenna in space and to send him clear on goal but they Abbey Hey defender did well to The visitors first chance of the game recover and clear.

Pictures by Albert Cooper came after 8 minutes but good work

by Ryan Tanser to track back out the Gate had three clear chances to open the scoring on 70 minutes which were winger off who shot their best of the game. First Josh Westwide. Recently subbed Ryan Riley wood hit the bar with a header. Then had his first chance of the game Nathan Trout had a shot cleared off the since coming on when line before Ryan Riley's scrambled effort he almost chipped the Abbey Hey was cleared. Three easy chances missed keeper. Almost an instant impact for Gate. from the sub in his first piece of action of they year, but the ball dropped the wrong side of the post.

(JOHNSON 67) MELLOR 10 10 NOBLET (HIGGINS 75) (STOT T55) HUDSON 11 11 GIBSON (FERGUSON 72) Squires Gate made it four games without scoring and six games without a win as they went down 2-0 away at Winsford.

Gate were missing defender Josh Westwood who had been superb so far at the back but welcomed back player/ manager Danny Penswick in his place.

Joe Noblet was the next to try his luck after the Winsford keeper Latham scuffed his kick. The ball landed at Joes feet but he scuffed his kick and the ball dribbled back into a grateful keepers hands.

That would be Gates last chance of a disappointing second half. Winsford happy to see out the point whilst Gate didn't look like threatening with heads dropped.

Winsfords last chance of the game had Gates hearts in mouths. The chances to at least equalise with homeside having a goal ruled out in both Noblet, Stayte and Gibson hav- the 91st minute for a foul on Josh ing chances as the half came to an Woods. end.

Gate had some early scrappy shots to start the half as they pressured the home side. Ryan Tanser and Joe Noblet both had early chances but neither connected with the ball as they would have liked.

Neither team really had a clear chance until ten minutes into the second half. Jamie Gibson working hard to put the keeper under pressure to put the ball out. But Gate couldn't capitalise from his good work from the corner which came to nothing.

Report by Mark Ashmore

Against the run of play the homeside took the lead. The ball played over the top from defence found the run of Ryan Mellor who hit the ball first time to beat Woods in goal.

The score line was a harsh one on Gate but had they had taken the early chances it would have been a lot different.

The game started to settle with neither team really creating a chance.

But then the homeside saw their chance and struck again. The ball played in from the right hand side found Winsford captain Kyle Riley to head past Woods.

Gates best chance of the second half came from a Freekick. Joe Noblet fired the ball into the penalty spot Pics by Albert Cooper but Ryan Tanser could only head Picture by Albert Cooper over.

The original Bootle F.C. were formed in 1880 and played at Hawthorne Road. They were in fact Everton FC’s biggest rivals. The Bucks where the first ever winners of the Liverpool Senior Cup, had in their ranks the first black footballer in Andrew Watson and regularly had bigger crowds than their neighbours. In 1889–90 Bootle became founder members of the Football Alliance, narrowly missing out on the football league the previous season. When the Alliance merged with the Football League in 1892, Bootle became founder members of the new Second Division. However, despite a respectable 8th place final position, the club dropped out after one season due to financial difficulties and the attraction of Everton playing in the First Division. They were replaced by new neighbours, LiverpoolA year later the Bucks joined the Lancashire Combination, which was won in 1976 and 1977. Bootle then joined the Second Division of the Cheshire County League, which was won in our first season, and we were promoted to the First Division. In 1982 the Cheshire County League was one of the leagues that merged to form the North West Counties League, which Bootle duly joined, becoming a founder member of the First Division. The club spent most of their time in the First Division until 2000 when we unfortunately dropped into the Second Division.

However, despite finishing 6th in 2002, the club, having to move away from Bucks Park on Copy Lane, dropped into the Liverpool County Combination. After several seasons of work behind the scenes and survival on the pitch the Bucks finally acquired a new home.In 2006 the club, with a new venue on a developing Vesty Road, the club were elected back into Division 2 of the North West Counties League. In 2009 Bootle won promotion to the NWCL Premier Division and also won the Championship under the guidance of Chris O’Brien. In 2009/10, our first season back in the NWCFL Premier Division Bootle finished a NWCFL highest placing of 3rd. In 2010/11 finished 6th place. They equalled the 3rd place again in 2012 this time with Neil Prince at the helm. Prince also lifted the Senior Cup as Bootle manager - the first to do so in 100 years. After an indifferent second season Prince was replaced by Joseph Doran. Doran has gone about to replenish the squad with exciting local young players and all at the club are hoping these lads fulfil their po tential.

SQUIRES GATE 1 BOOTLE 4

SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY 2014 15:00

Bootle pushed up on the pitch, winning a corner, which was cleared, only for it to be returned, and within five minutes James Riley, came in from the right to put them in the lead. Gate looked as though they would soon draw level, with Sowerby running at the defence, only to be blocked by the advancing Porter. Then McKenna, and Richards having shots, but without testing the keeper. While at the other end, Ben Fletcher was called upon to come to the rescue when Connor Christiansen broke free to shoot. He made a couple of blocks as the visitors broke through Gate’s defenders. On the half hour Bootle went 2 up when Lee Thompson buried a free kick into the top corner, giving Fletcher no chance. Gate worked the ball down both flanks, and on 45mins the stroke of half time a cross from Seydou Bamba, was collected by Jack Sowerby, who calmly scored from 26 yards, and the home side went into the break looking on top.

The second half saw Gate pushing forward and a goal looked imminent as shots from, Richards, Carney, Sowerby, Russell, were blocked and deflected, while the visitors looked happy to absorb all that Gate threw at them, and relying on long clearances for breakaways, and would count themselves unlucky, as the ball was cleared off the line several times. But goal number three was a carbon copy of the last home game conceded two weeks earlier, Bootle chased down the right after a long clearance, and the winger was brought down within feet of the corner flag. The resulting free kick was met by Grant Pruden, for goal number three on 63 minutes. The visitor’s goal area was the busiest place for the closing 15mins of the game, but their defence held firm, against all that Gate threw at them. Max Rothwell, came on for his first game of the season, after suffering a broken leg at the end of last season, but Gate lost leading scorer Jack Sowerby with a calf injury. Andy Richards effort brought a save from Porter, and the long clearance, was met by Ben Fletcher, his clearance hitting advancing forwards shins, who fell from the impact. To the surprise of all, the referee surprisingly awarded a penalty, which Jamie Hay converted on 90+ minutes, the 22nd goal against Squires Gate, in the last 8 games.

BOOTLE 1 SQUIRES GATE 1

SATURDAY 2ND AUGUST 2014 15:00

The Bootle defence was kept busy in the opening 15 minutes with plenty of play happening in the home sides half. It wasn't until 30 minutes in that Gate had the first real chance of the game the ball falling to the edge of the box and with the keeper down the last man seemed to have handled the ball on the line to stop a certain goal, with the ref ruling in favour of the home side.

Jack Sowerby Harry Dunn and Sam Dickinson each had great chances of putting Gate ahead but their efforts on goal swerved across the goalmouth line and out of play into safety, Gate again kept the pressure on and ended the half the better of the two. Into the second half and it was the home side who came out on top, Gate keeper Ben Fletcher pulling off several fine saves to deny the home side. Onto the 60th minute and the attacking trio of Mckenna, Sowerby and Dunn continued to cause the home side's defence all kinds of trouble. The latter in that list lined up a free kick on 69th minutes after a foul on Sowerby only for the free kick to be saved in the hands of the home sides goal keeper. en Fletcher found himself just outside the right hand side of his area attempting to clear the ball, when he was adjudged to have handled the ball outside his area, the ref pointed to the spot, up came the the kick, and Ben managed to get a fingertip to it and the danger was over. It was the home side who broke the deadlock on 74 minutes, great work down the left hand side saw Emini Adegbenro fire low past Ben Fletcher in goal. The home sides goal looked to unleash a new level of pressure in Gate's ranks and they replied just 5 minutes later, good work from debutant Harry Dunn found Jack Sowerby in the 6 yard box who slotted home with ease

SATURDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2014

15:00

Gate’s Mark Buchan was the next closest to breaking the deadlock as he brought an instinctive save from the legs of the opposing keeper Joshua Clark. The last chance of the first half came to the visitors as a nice interchange between Michael Roberts and Kurt Sherlock put in Christopher Tyson in the area but his shot went well wide. As the first half drew to a close it was the away side who ended the strongest .It was Gate who came closest just after the break as Josh Westwood sent his header just the wrong side of the post and soon after Bootle went straight down the other end and had three shots saved on the line as Gate managed to clear a goalmouth scramble. Gate needed to respond and did just that in the 53rd minute as Alex Murhy scored directly from a low whipped free-kick, which was unchallenged by anybody in the box. when Bootle felt they had a strong case for a penalty but the referee waved it away. Gate almost doubled their in the 75th minute as Murphy picked up the ball outside the box and fired a shot which the keeper Clark parried up onto the post, but was quickly smothered by the keeper. Two minutes later Gate thought that they had sealed the win with sub debutant James Edmonds putting the ball into the back of the net after a good cross from Jake Forshaw. .

This week we also spoke to Manchester City and Chadderton fan Alex Howell. If you want to read more about his adventures, visit his blog (thebundesligauk,wordpress.com). Alex lives in the north west and has visited Squires Gate many times but mainly focuses on completing the German Bundesliga list, he also lists Gate as his “2nd non league club”. Here’s what he had to say;

First of all, what encouraged you to start your footballing adventures?

I'd say it was just my love for football, which my Dad instilled me with. Living in the North West provides you an opportunity to visit so many grounds and naturally following my Premier League side, Manchester City, I accumulated a number of different venues. From then on, it's just become a bigger and bigger obsession to see as many games in as many different locations, at many various levels. Wherever I go, I always look for the closest football ground!

What is the best part about non league?

The best part about non league has to be the feeling of being valued, and the camaraderie you experience. You can meet some right characters and you feel as if your input into the club can have a lasting difference. Non league clubs still represent the heart of their local communities and to be able to see and experience this, is a real treat.

How many grounds have you visited now?

Too many! In terms of other groundhoppers, I'm fairly inexperienced compared to others but I feel I've managed my fair share. My current tally stands at 72, but I'm eager to hit the one hundred mark. As a fan of German football, I'm hoping to be able to have completed all grounds within the top two divisions.

Do you have any favourites, and have you visited any obscure grounds?

My favourite has to be my local side, Chadderton FC. There's nothing particularly special about Andrew Street (apart from the time when someone turned up in a crane!) but as my local side it holds a special place for me. I also quite like the Anchor Ground, home of AFC Darwen; a club that has so much history. Maine Road, in all its rough round the edges self, has to be up there.

In terms of obscurity, that prize would have to go to Saint Pierre Plouescat who play at the Stade Prat Ar Goasven and compete in the Northern Finistere division, of the Brittany football league. I'd wager not many other groundhoppers had ventured to this region of France before, let alone Saint Pierre Plouescat. That'd definitely be my trump card!

What has been the most memorable moment that you have seen for a club? (Cup wins, etc) Following Manchester City rather seriously across England, as well as on the continent, has provided evidently a number of great moments. However, the top moments have to be ending the long trophy drought in 2011 with the FA Cup, the 6-1 at Old Trafford in the same year and that standout moment in English football at the end of that season - "Agueroooo".

In terms of non league, even though we ended up on the losing side, last seasons North West Counties Division 2

If you were to pick a "dream XI" of players that you have seen live. Who would you pick? (teams in brackets) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich) Carles Puyol (FC Barcelona) Vincent Kompany (Manchester City) Ashley Cole (Chelsea)

Andres Iniesta (FC Barcelona) Xavi (FC Barcelona) Thomas M端ller (Bayern Munich) Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) David Villa (FC Barcelona) Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona)

What has been the best goal you have ever seen? From PL to non league?

Perhaps not the best technically, but it has to be Sergio Aguero against QPR in 2012, or "Aguerooooo" once again. In terms of skills, either Peter Crouch versus City or Yaya Toure against Sunderland at Wembley.

Have you ever been to Squires Gate before, if so what was the score?

I have, on two occasions. I have family in Lytham, and Squires Gate is the closest non league team. I'd actually consider Squires as my second non league side. The first time was on Non League day 2014 against Barnoldswick Town which ended 0-0 and the second was against Runcorn Town on the 4th April last season, which ended 2-0.

What has been the best, and worst game that you have watched this season? And during your adventures?

The best game I've been to this season was in Germany, when in Ingolstadt. It was an entirely different experience to English football, and I can see why people become so fond of the German game.

The best game itself would be Manchester City's victory away at Crystal Palace for Kelechi Iheanacho's late goal that introduced him to the national stage.

The worst is easily, Chadderton FC's bore 0-0 home draw with Backup Borough on a cold Tuesday night. Not one to remember, that's for sure!

Is there any grounds that you are looking forward to attending over the next couple of months?

Squires Gate again! It's been too long since I was at the Royal British Legion stadium and so I can't wait to be

As part of our new regular feature, we speak to groundhoppers who travel up and down the country to watch football, and ask them about their football adventures This week we speak to Chelsea fan Adam Thurston. If you want to read more about his adventures, visit his blog (adamthurstongroundhoppingblog.wordpress.com). Here’s what he had to say;

First of all, what encouraged you to start your footballing adventures?

Honestly? I have no idea. I had just started playing again on Sundays and had a Monday to Fri day job so I guess it was to just fill my Saturdays up! It all started with a random FA Cup game at the Cardiff City Stadium where it finished Cardiff City 3-1 Colchester United... It just went on from there.

What is the best part about non-league?

To start with, it was the cheaper tickets. Then I began to realise that Non League was more 'real' than my normal football. These are honest blokes who are doing this as a hobby rather than a job earning god knows how much per week. In addition to this I guess it was the more locality of the games, seeing more traditional grounds and meeting local people!

How many grounds have you visited now?

At the time of writing, I am at 62 but that doesn't include all the grounds I have previously played at over the years.

Do you have any favourites, and have you visited any obscure grounds?

I don't know why but I absolutely love Old Trafford. It is my favourite ground. As a Chelsea fan this probably isn't favourable amongst the Blues' fans!

What has been the most memorable moment that you have seen for a club? (Cup wins, etc) Unfortunately as I've only been doing it for 14 months I've not seen anything like that yet.

I guess the closest I've been is watching Iceland beat Netherlands 1-0 in the Amsterdam Arena to virtually secure qualification for Euro 2016.

Also watching Watford beat promotion rivals Middlesbrough at Vicarage Road to virtually secure promotion to the Premier League last season.

Have you ever watched any games abroad? If not, what would be the first choices on your list ?

Luckily, yes. It's amazing. I've watched a game at the Nou Camp when Barcelona beat AS Roma 3-0. Also, like I said before, Netherlands 0-1 Iceland in Amsterdam in the Euro 2016 Qualifiers.

If you were to pick a "dream XI" of players that you have seen live. Who would you pick? (teams in brackets) Wow that is tough but I'll give it a go.

GK - Petr Cech (Arsenal) LB - Ashley Cole (Chelsea) CB - John Terry (Chelsea) CB - Pique (FC Barcelona) RB - Gary Neville (England) LM - Eden Hazard (Chelsea) CM - Frank Lampard (Chelsea) RM - David Beckham (England) LW - Neymar (FC Barcelona) S - Luis Suarez (Ajax) RW - Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona) What has been the best goal you have ever seen? From PL to non-league?

That is hard and easy at the same time because to be honest I haven't been blessed with that many really good goals.

I think one of the best was Ighalo's goal for Watford against Middlesbrough which was right in front of me. The best individual goal I've seen was Romelu Lukaku against Chelsea in the FA Cup Quarter Final this year.

What has been the best, and worst game that you have watched this season?

Hmm. The worst is easy. It was Crawley Town 2-0 Newport County. It was fairly dire. I think the best overall experience was Forest Green Rovers 0-1 Grimsby Town with the away fans. The best football match... maybe, Arsenal 1-2 Swansea City at the Emirates, again with the away fans Have you ever visited Squires Gate before? If so, what was the score?

Unfortunately not. One day!

Is there any grounds that you are looking forward to attending over the next couple of months?

The one I am looking forward to the most is Lens in France. I've got a ticket for the Round of 16 match at Lens in Euro 2016.

I’d like to wish Squires Gate all the best for the rest of the campaign.

SILSDEN WHO’S IN CHARGE? Danny Bolton/ Ryan Haigh

LAST SEASON

SQUIRES GATE 2 SILSDEN 0 By this point, Gate were 3 points off what they had reached throughout the previous campaign. Squires Gate made a bright start to the game and just a couple of minutes into the half should have been ahead, good work by Mark Buchan, who's knock down found Alex Murphy's run into the box but his shot was gathered well by the Silsden keeper. Gate looked the hungrier of the two sides in the opening half and made it very tough for Silsden to keep the ball and play their normal game, Gate made sure Silsden didn't have time on the ball but when the away side did get through, the Gate defence stood firm. More great play from Harry Dunn and Alex Murphy allowed the latter to find space in the corner of the 6 yard box but his shot hit the side netting, Gate were getting closer.

The break though would come shortly after for Gate who would take the lead.

The corner fired into the near post and with the flick on won Mark Buchan was in the right place at the right time to flick home in what was a real poachers goal. Silsden looked to be getting back into the game in the final 10 minutes but Gate stood firm to deny them and could have doubled their lead on the break, with great work from impressive Harry Dunn to get in behind at the back post but the end product let the player down.

Into the second half Gate started as they'd started the first with alot of high pressure not allowing Silsden time on the ball, it took Gate 7 minutes to double their lead a good ball into the danger area for Gate Alex Murphy taking the chance and stretching to get a toe onto the ball and put Gate two up. Gate had to be on their toes soon after with Josh Westwood in the right place to clear the ball off the line and deny the visitors. As the half went on Silsden had their chances to pull a goal back first a double save from Ben Fletcher to deny them.

Then Silsden had the ball in the net but the goal was ruled out for a foul.
