GOOLE AFC vs HALIFAX TOWN FC
WEST RIDING FA COUNTY CUP



WELCOME TO THE VPG



A warm welcome this evening to all FC Halifax Town
ofcials, players and fans and we hope they enjoy their
visit to the Victoria Pleasure Ground.


Sadly too many people I know think of Halifax as just
where the bank originates, and the building society
before it, but as someone who has ventured into West
Yorkshire a fair bit in their lifetime, my take on Halifax is
it’s a strong industrial town still, and with a long and
proud football heritage with The Shay known to all
football fans across the country.


I’m excited to see the club making steps up the football pyramid after it was kick-started again a
little over ten years ago. There is nothing and nobody bigger than the club, but a club is an
empty vessel without its fans and volunteers that make it up. But I’m sure our counterparts from

Halifax will testify, it was hard in the dark days and it is hard now.

It’s been such a massive loss to our club with so many volunteers stepping down from their
positions at the club. We knew at the start of the season, with no willing benefactor wanting to

throw money at the club like the last ten years that has seen nearly £250,000 thrown at it, it was
always going to be hard.

To replicate the achievements of other clubs that have managed it without a Sheikh or a
billionaire, we need to be dedicated and over-come each and every problem along the way. I

don’t doubt for a minute that people have stuck with the club through thick and thin over the

years, and they’ve been the smallest but most dedicated group of seless people that people
see as ‘the club’. But what the club stands for is the same and Steve and Craig’s vision of a

self-funding club that can grow and compete at the highest level possible is still our aim.
We all need the club to love and to argue about, so we have to keep going and supporting.
We weren’t far off the level of a top Worksop side on Saturday so let’s have a good go tonight,
and as you do, get behind the lads.
UTV, Alan

SPORTS EDITOR GRAEME WILSON




Good evening ladies and gentlemen and a warm welcome to you all for this West
Riding County Cup second round tie with National League side FC Halifax Town.
One dare say, even hope that the Shaymen have one eye on their FA Cup tie this

weekend but I am sure there will be a strong, representative side wanting to avoid a
repeat of their exit at Selby Town last season at the quarter nal stage.

Talking about the FA Cup one harks back almost 34 years to the day when the old
Goole Town met the old Halifax Town at the Shay in the rst round of the FA Cup,
where despite a brave performance from David Pugh’s side we lost 3-0 to the then
Division Four side.
The new sides have met in the County Cup since then and the Shaymen won that

one as well, and after a good start this season they appear to have hit the buffers as
far as their league goes.
Nothing bares comparison with our own fortunes where we have yet to win in front of


our own supporters in regulation play which is simply not good enough and quite
demeaning to be honest.
One eventually runs out of excuses to explain why it should be and there has been
another change at management level to aim to rectify not just that but our position in

the Northern Counties East League table which I suppose one can say are inter-

linked but it goes deeper than that I am afraid.

Good luck to Phil Sharpe, a one-time former player with Goole Town back in the late
1980s before embarking on a good career as a player and manager and he does
bring experience and knowledge which should come to good use.
Originally here as a coach, he and Steve Jeff have swapped roles and that is no

slight on Steve at all who has had a hell of a job to try and impose his ideas under the
constraints that have been eased but far too late really to give the team a chance this
season.


Survival and a run in the remaining cup competitions are a priority and cross ngers
some of the organisation brought to bear in our last two games, admittedly defeats,
may help tonight before a Saturda y off due to Bridlington Town’s own County Cup tie
at the weekend.

SINCE OUR LAST GAME




Worksop Town 2 – 0 AFC
3rd November, 2018
In the rst return xture of the NCEL season it was Worksop that again overcame AFC at Sandy
Lane in front of a crowd of 352.
The visitors came into the game with new players and new management but found the Tigers
made of stern stuff and it was two bits of individual quality at the other end that won the day.

It was Goole who had the rst two half chances in this one, rstly Lee Elam dragged his shot
wide on the edge of the box and shortly after Steven Jeffs’ low effort from range scared the large
home crowd as it creeped just past the far post.

Then on the ninth minute it was
Matt Sykes who gave the Tigers
the lead. Playing just behind a front
three Sykes found himself
unmarked on the edge of the box
after a corner routine, he icked
the ball neatly over the on rushing
defender’s tackle and smacked a
left foot volley straight into the right
hand corner giving the keeper no
chance.

The goal gave the home side
condence, nine minutes later a
move forward deserved another
goal. It culminated with Trench’s
ball into Moxam, a lay-off to Sykes in a wide position and his erce cross across the six yard box
met the stretching Craig Mitchell who couldn’t quite direct goalwards.

AFC were struggling to create chances of their own and the nearest they came after some early
scares was Worksop defender Charlie Taylor skewing a cross towards his own goal but Dave
Reay gathered well.

In the second half Goole came out with intent, Steven Jeff’s free kick was heading in but for the
Tigers wall deecting it on to the roof of the net, the subsequent corner was then cleared off the
line by Michael Trench guarding the post.

Sandy Lane then witnessed Matt Sykes took the ball under pressure and bypassed three Goole
midelders with incredible ease in Zidane-esque style.
Chances for both sides were at a minimum during the second half, Dave Reay coping with all
efforts that came his way rather comfortably. As the away side were pushing forward in numbers
for an equaliser it was the Tigers who countered to grab a decisive second.

A ball through to Connor Brunt and outrageously no offside ag saw the substitute go clear on
goal with just the keeper to beat, he coolly rounded the keeper and slotted home to kill the game.
Tigers manager Denton gave credit to AFC for looking more organised and a stronger unit than
the opening game of the season encounter, but with nothing to shown for the game, the season
continues to be as hard as ever.
