Clough on goal trail in Bees romp (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

6:45pm Wednesday 18th November 2009

Matthew Clough scored five times for Bingley Bees men’s first team as they swamped Slazengers thirds 7-1.

It was all over by half-time as Clough’s treble was backed up by further strikes from Khalid Naseem and Simon Hinchliffe.

Clough added both second-half goals to give him 23 from eight games this season.

It was not such good news for the ladies as Bees firsts lost 3-0 to lower-placed Ben Rhydding and slipped from second to fourth in the table.

Bingley had the majority of the play in the opening 15 minutes but missed several chances and were made to pay.

Rhydding moved ahead against the run of play from an own goal and defensive uncertainty led to another own goal at the start of the second half.

The Bees had a number of chances to hit back but they were finally killed off by the third Rhydding goal to make it two successive defeats.

The women’s second team also dropped points as they could only draw against a Horsforth team who had lost most of their previous games.

Goals from Jane Sharkey and Emma Hinckles left the Bees 2-0 up at the interval but Horsforth stormed back level in the second half.
