Eccleshill Utd 1 Goole 5

A poor second-half display saw Eccleshill swamped by visitors Goole in their Northern Counties East Premier Division clash at Plumpton Park.

United took a deserved lead but were pegged back late in the first half.

They had dominated most of the play and should have turned round with a good lead, but the chances they wasted proved costly.

Chris Wood netted the opener in the 28th minute, rounding the visitors' keeper to score following a 40-yard pass from Jamie Buchan.

Ian Horrocks and Scott Price both had only the Goole keeper to beat in one-on-one situations and should have done better.

Former Thackley defender Nigel Danby equalised for Goole with a 36th-minute free-kick.

Then a quick-fire brace from Kevin Smith, who claimed goals in the 49th and 50th minute, turned the game on its head. Steve Davey added a fourth midway through the second half and Cameron Stuart scored in the last minute.

"It was a bad defeat and there is no masking that," said United manager Tony Brown.

"It was a game of two halves. For 20 or 25 minutes it was all us and if we had been 3-0 in front at the break Goole couldn't have complained."

"I told the players at half-time to keep it tight for the first ten minutes when we got back out there. but we conceded twice in the first five minutes and it was game over."
