Saturday 18th August - Hednesford Town 3-0 Frickley Athletic
The jinx which seems to plague Frickley's opening League
games struck again at Hednesford where the Blues were still involved until
losing central defender Steve Heath through injury. Billy
Heath was forced to field a make-shift defence with Adam Deakin and Dean Jones
injured, Steve Robinson and Ross Haywood suspended and Chris Gowen
unavailable.
A 22 yard free-kick by Richard Tracey flashed just wide of
the target in the fifth minute as the visitors made a lively start, while a
good run from Danny Walsh six minutes later took him into the Town
penalty area where he laid the ball back for Nathan Hotte to shave the bar
with a first time shot.
Hednesford were also dangerous, Peter Knox turning on the
edge of the penalty area in the 16th minute but firing straight at
Frickley keeper Jon Hood who comfortably held the shot.
A break from midfield two minutes later led to the ball
being played out wide to Ross Dyer, but his curling cross was cleared by
Chris Hilton.
The Blues defence were found wanting in the 21st minute
when Dyer got down the left and whipped a ball over for Simon Forsdick to strike
at the far post.
Dyer was causing the visiting cover problems and he cut in
from the left in the 31st minute but fired straight at Hood.
Hotte picked out Lee Morris in the 56th minute, but his
shot zipped inches wide of the far post, and Frickley lost Heath eight minutes
later, Craig Laight coming on.
Before the visitors had time to settle, Hednesford improved
their lead in the 66th minute, Knox creating space on the right before
crossing for Simon Forsdick to volley in at the far post.
Frickley refused to give in, and a scorching 25 yard drive
from Morris was pushed round a post by home goalkeeper Rene Kilmartin in the
76th minute.
Ross Dyer headed in Hednesford's third goal after a right
wing cross in the 78th minute to put the result beyond doubt.
