West Riding County Trophy 1st round

Pool Reserves 3 Stanningley OB Reserves1

POOL were made to work hard for their West Riding County Trophy first-round victory.

They had the edge in the first half, taking a deserved lead when Matthew Doran finished well.

Other chances went begging, so it came as no surprise when Stanningley levelled the scores.

There was little in it during the second half until Jamie Algar's excellent shot from the edge of the area gave the Stanningley keeper no chance.

The visitors had their chances to level again, but some fine defending and a confident display by Wayne Hoban in the Pool goal kept them at bay.

The match-winning goal came when Doran's deflected shot came back of the crossbar for David Thomson to score.
