Frickley Athletic is a small club with a
small ground……not dissimilar to
Cables’ own ground at Hope Street. The
club house is a tad small and the Cables’
early arrivals were hard pressed to find
seating while they quaffed their refreshing
beverages. Suitably refreshed the
travelling faithful took up their usual
position behind the opposition goal.
The game started brightly enough with Cables playing the positive football although early forays into the Frickley half brought no joy and didn’t overly trouble the Frickley keeper.

A free kick on the edge of the box late in the first
half had the Cables fans shouting for Lee Owens to
come upfield and try to repeat his headed goal for
the Reserve team on Thursday, however Lee
remained one of the two defenders marking
Frickley’s attackers and the set piece, although
attacked credibly by Cables went begging.
After half time the Frickley players emerged into the sunshine looking more positive and for most of the second half the play was in the Cables half of the pitch. Andy Paxton was immense in goal for Cables
After half time the Frickley players emerged into the sunshine looking more positive and for most of the second half the play was in the Cables half of the pitch. Andy Paxton was immense in goal for Cables
and valiantly handled everything Frickley
threw at him.
Frickley broke the deadlock on 64 minutes when following a bit of head tennis around the Cables goalmouth the experienced Lee Morris brought the ball down and slotted it past Andy Paxton.
The second Frickley goal came on the 66th minute as they punished a Cables error and again Lee Morris found the back of the net.

Cables had a penalty shout when Darren Byers was
brought down courtesy of a Frickley defender who
seemed to want to swap shirts early. The Ref waived
the appeal away despite protests and the game
continued.
Allan Collins making his first start for Cables showed real promise, his jinking runs on the right wing caused the Frickley defenders more than a little trouble, but Cables failed to find the finishing touch. Both Byers and Green had goal scoring opportunities.
