LEADERS Silsden had Dan Illingworth sent off for a second successive match but still maintained their 100 per cent start to their Hallmark Security League Division One campaign.
The Cobbydalers’ beat Cammell Laird 1907 2-1 but their unblemished winning streak was threatened as Illingworth took exception to a full-blooded challenge just before the hour.
He got to his feet and squared up to the perpetrator, thrusting his head forward and was shown a red card.
The home side were leading 1-0 at that stage after Joe Gaughan had broken the deadlock in the 18th minute with a low shot that curled past Lairds keeper Richie Cowderoy.
The visitors didn’t have a man advantage for long, however as, two minutes after Illingworth’s dismissal, Lairds left back Jay Thomas was red-carded for dangerous play following a high tackle on Matt Moses.
The visitors levelled midway through the second half when Paul Jewell headed home from a corner, but just three minutes later, Mateusz Tomas settled it with a stunning strike.
