MATCH RESULT
Willerby Jags 2-2 LIONS
J.Tarbotton ⚽️
G.Tomlinson ⚽️
The Lions went into this game top of league and aiming to extend that by taking all 3 points, In the end we settled for 1 point in what turned out to be a frustrating second half.
The home side started quickest taking an early lead with a huge slice of luck as the ball looped over the goalkeeper.
Soon after we found ourselves 2-0 down after a race to the ball with the Jags attacker beating A.Mills to the ball and tapping into an empty net.
However play swung in favour of the Lions and chances before the half came with P.Skelton striking the bar from 35 yards, N.Holdsworth tried his luck as did M.Bajer and we eventually forced a corner which fell to J.Tarbotton 12 yards out and he volleyed into the bottom corner to give us hope. 2-1 HT
The second half started and the Lions continued in the ascendancy controlling majority of the play, creating lots of chances including 2 tame free kicks but were unable to trouble the goalkeeper. The equaliser finally came after G.Tomlinson beat the offside trap drove through the middle and finished excellently!
So many chances to win the game but we just weren’t clinical enough on the day to seal the 3pts coming away frustrated.
On a positive note we fought back from 2-0 down with both G.Tomlinson and O.Foster among others stepping up with commanding performances and we remain top of the league!
