2009 - Celebrating 125 Years of Football History
After the intial bombardment by Harrogate Cables began to settle down and get a few good crosses from Cooney on the right wing.

After about 18 minutes Joey Gibiliru jnr took a knock which he didnt recover from and was substituted by Paul Cliff. I didnt hear the announcer repeat his earlier efforts to pronounce Gibiliru as I think he gave up after the failed first attempt.

At 24 minutes a crossed ball saw Rey challenge the goalie - the ball dropped for Phil Cooney who smashed it in. The ball bouncing from the boards behind the goal gave the impression that he had missed. Happily it was just an illusion.

After a couple more efforts on goal by Cables we reached half time with Cables going in 1 goal up. Fairly decent grub was on sale at the snack bar. Cables fans talked about the lead and hoped we would continue to push on instead of tryng to defend a lead - a mistake that has cost us dearly in the past

In the second half Paul Cliff certainly came into his own making a number of searching runs down the left wing. At 55 minutes Mark Calland and one of their defenders jumped for a high ball, Calland reacted first to the loose ball and stabbed the ball over the line from eight yards. The ball was bouncing around in the goal mouth confusion and it was difficult to see who had scored at first until Calland emerged with his arms held high.

Shortly after a through ball to Connell in the Harrogate box was simply begging to be put away. Somehow Darren managed to miss a really good chance. He was so frustrated with himself that he kicked the ball away in anger and got booked for his troubles.
