Sunday League: Premiership One leaders Fryston AFC go nap against Wakefield Athletic

Fryston came into the game off the back of a first league defeat, but put matters right with a 5-1 win after a nervy start that had suggested a tight affair.

The first chance fell to Athletic's Kane Whitaker who got on the end of Danny Young’s through ball only to see his effort agonisingly go agonisingly the wrong side of the post.

Fryston started creating their own chances with Liam Cooper and Andrew Horbury seeing efforts well saved by goalkeeper Michael Hidle.

Both did manage to get on the scoresheet, however, as three quickfire goals in a 10-minute spell put the leaders in charge, Horbury netting twice and Cooper once.

Athletic were limited to strikes from range from Banta Dorbol and they were but unable to test the visiting goalkeeper.

Abubakary Touray, Gavin Pearson, Banta Darbol and Raymond Cheng worked hard in the second half and a glimmer of hope saw Danny Young send a powerful low drive into the side netting.

Good play by defensive backline of Josh Hemingway, Joe Dack, Jack Rothery and Gary Jones allowed the latter to develop his run to find the through ball for Whitaker who cut inside a covering defender but sent his curling effort wide of the post.

The positive play provided no returns as at the other end, an attack by the visiting substitute John Adey saw him drive forward following a tackle that rediverted the ball to his path towards goal to finish calmly a side foot finish to make it 4-0.

Another Fryston substitute Jake Hogg managed to get on the scoresheet as he cut past the advancing home goalkeeper to finish with the defender on the line unable to block the attempt.

The goal of the game came from Athletic's Whitaker as he sent his precise curling free-kick into the top corner with Fryston keeper Jamie Rollinson scrambling across but unable to meet the effort.

This proved a mere consolation, however, with Fryston seeing out the remainder of the game to resume their dominance at top of the league with two games remaining.

Their nearest challengers are Chequerfield, 16 points adrift, but with six games in hand.

The Howdens man of the match award for Wakefield Athletic was shared by Kane Whitaker, Gavin Pearson and Joe Dack.
