On 24 minutes Cables come within a whisker of the
vital breakthrough as Jamie McCulloch releases
Darren Byers inside the Ossett area. Byers skims a
low cross along the Ossett six yard line for James
Croxton to turn the ball inches wide of an Ossett post
under heavy pressure from visiting defenders. 5
minutes later Croxton again causes mayhem in the
Ossett area as he curls a 16 yard effort beyond the
Ossett Keeper and just past the far post. Ossett's first
effort arrives on 28 minutes when Craig Hall forces
Cables Keeper Zak Jones into action with a rasping
half volley from 25 yards. Lady luck again turns
against Cables when Tommy Taylor is penalised for
an innocuous looking challenge on an Ossett player in
the Cables area. The resulting penalty is expertly
dispatched by Ossett's Aiden Savory.
Far from deflating Cables the setback spurs the home side on. Within a minute Cables are level as Darren Byers controls a long ball on the edge of the Ossett area before rattling a beauty of a half volley past the Ossett Keeper. Byers causes further panic inside the Ossett area a minute later as he scurries after a long ball and just loses out as the Ossett Keeper punches clear. In first half added time Byers fires a low cross straight across the face of the Ossett goal just missing the boot of a sliding Tommy Taylor at the far post.
5 minutes into the second half another atrocious refereeing decision upsets the home side's momentum
