It was no surprise that Guiseley were too strong for Thackley in last night’s friendly at Dennyfield but the Northern Counties East League side put in a good second-half display to prevent their Blue Square Bet visitors from amassing a cricket score.

Guiseley broke the deadlock in the sixth minute through Joe O’Neill and Danny Boshall added a second soon after. The Lions took a 3-0 lead into the break after Gavin Rothery struck just before the half-hour.

The Dennyboys battled well after the interval and clawed a goal back through Shaquile Adams.
