Midweek Match Review
13th December, 2007
Armthorpe Welfare booked their place in the Final of the NCEL Presidents Cup with an extra-time victory at home to Selby Town on Tuesday.
It had been a fine start to the evening for the Robins after Steve Lyon had given the visitors the lead with just seven minutes gone.
But, Stuart Preston levelled before the half-hour and, with no further scoring in normal time, an extra thirty minutes were needed.
Paul Ashton put Welfare ahead towards the end of the first period of extra time and Liam Radford made sure of the victory with virtually the last kick of the game to give Armthorpe a 3-1 win.
The other semi-final between Winterton Rangers and Liversedge will need to be rescheduled after it was postponed on Wednesday due to an unplayable pitch at West Street.
An Andy Sunley strike ten minutes from time proved to be only a consolation for Tadcaster Albion as they bowed out of the West Riding County Cup at the Second Round stage.
They were beaten 3-1 by UniBond hosts Harrogate Railway who had earlier sailed into a comfortable lead with goals from James McDaid, Scott Ryan and Richard Marshall.
In Division One, Dinnington Town moved up to second and a point behind leaders Gedling Town after a 3-0 home win over Bottesford Town.
Ant Lynam opened the scoring in the opening five minutes but it was not until the last ten before they put the game beyond doubt with goals from Martin Wade and Grant Allot.
Glapwell's Premier Division clash at home to Eccleshill United, meanwhile, was called off due to a frozen pitch.
