A rearranged fixture meant Keighley Athletic met strugglers Ilkley Dynamo for the second time in a week, but they were in for a much tougher test following last week's 9-1 victory.

Things began well for Athletic when Bob Morrisroe capitalised on a poor clearance to drill a shot high into the roof of the net.

Ilkley were soon level after a long throw caused confusion in the Athletic area and defender Dave Ellis, attempting to clear, could only head the ball past his own keeper.

The second half was a tight affair and a solitary goal proved to be the difference between the two sides. A clumsy challenge on Tom Whitwam led to a penalty for Athletic and the reliable Steve Kernan made no mistake from the spot.
