West Yorkshire Premier League                                                                First Team 2 - 2 Bardsey

Sherburn stay unbeaten in the league with a draw against last season's runners up and County Cup winners.

Sherburn played in a way designed to frustrate the opposition and to deny passes into the feet of their excellent front players, and were all through the game. Sherburn looked to make good use of the counter attack and this way of playing gave Sherburn the lead when Lee Gemmell finished well from the edge of the box.

Unfortunately Sherburn gave away another penalty, the third in two games, and there was only one outcome as Rob Dickinson stepped up to score for Bardsey. Counter attacks continued from Sherburn and Adam Priestly scored a looping header over the advancing goal keeper to put the home side up at half time.

The second half was played out similar to the first, with Sherburn defending deep and looking to counter. Bardsey really putting the home team under pressure but Sherburn stuck to the task very well and denied any real opportunities from open play.

Scott Williams replaced the hard working Lee Gemmell on the hour mark and made a telling contribution - Bradley unlucky not to score from his cross. The game was end to end and very entertaining for the supporters. After another counter attack for Sherburn Bradley was unlucky not to seal victory hitting the post from a tight angle after rounding the goal keeper.  Paul Woodhouse replaced Jamie Wainwright and added support up front; he also was unlucky to head straight into the goalkeeper's hands after another cross from Williams. 

Bardsey also continued to press - their left wing back was impressive going forward and deep into the game Sherburn conceded a corner and having dealt well with these well all throughout the game, they failed to pick up Bardsey's substitute forward who powered a header home from close range. It was disappointing end to what would have been a fantastic result.
