Jobs Butler FC
16/10/2022
⚽️ Boys Battle in Barton 🌉 North Ferriby Sporting draw their forth game of the season away against league outfit Jobs Butler. Jobs Butler came up through a successful season last year in Div 3, winning the league (I think), their quality and ability showed through today. The match was moved from Gower Park to Baysgarth School 4G, a huge improvement. NFS welcomed Gilbey, Ward, Moor and Winter into the squad for their competitive debuts, with a few players injured or missing. NFS started well but after a few loose passes struggled to retain possession from a strong Butler side. NFS made the break through, a ball out wide to Manterfield who fired across goal and score in off the post. 0-1. Minutes later, NFS doubled the lead, a long ball heading straight to Manterfield, only for him to let it pass for Richardson to latch onto, round the keeper and score. 0-2. Jobs Butler began to control the game and had a good spell, breaking beyond the NFS midfield and baring down on our back four. Their hard work was rewarded, a ball into the strikers feet, who spun on the spot, only to be fouled by the NFS defender. Apparently dubious, but penalty awarded and dispatched. 1-2. Half time 1-2. Jobs Butler started the second half the brighter, dancing feet from the opposing midfielder, rounded the defence and keeper to equalise. 2-2. NFS players began to drop through injury, with all subs coming on early in the second half. Jobs Butler didn't let up as they scored their third. A simple corner and towering header at the back post. 3-2. With less than 10mins on the clock and signs of Butler tiring, Fulton made a run down the wing, attracting defence only to square across the box to substitute Ward to slot home. 3-3. Full time 3-3 🏆 The Pete Burgess MOTM - James Dunning Managers Comments: Tough game today against a tough opposition, they will do well in this league and their quality in midfield will cause teams across the league problems. Our graft and hard work was exceptional in the first half and deserving of our lead, when three of the back four come off with injurys and niggles, it became difficult. Delighted with a point and very happy with all involved. We look forward to entertaining Humber Colts next weekend in the Presidents Cup. ✍️Sponsored by: 👉 Bikeliner Travel and Coaches 👉 Fraternity Barbers Beverley 👉 Firepit Smokehouse and Bar

Cottingham took the lead again, with their third, after cross came into the box, ricochet off an NFS shin into the path of the away strike to score. 2-3. Fulton got the equaliser from the penalty spot, after chasing down and ball into the corner, only to be judged to be fouled by the oncoming keeper. 3-3. Couple of subs the two newbies Horth and Lakes come on, hoping to make an impact. Fulton picked up the ball around 25 yards out, after a maisie run and appear to lose control of the ball, only.for it to fall into the path of Richardson to slot away. 4-3. Richardson got the fifth and his hattrick after Horth played the ball in behind the defenders, Richardson did the rest. Horth replicated the same ball, in behind the defender for Richardson to latch onto, this time the keeper kicked out and missed the ball. Horth stepped up, but was saved easily after a poor effort. Cottingham got one back with less than a minute on the clock, chucking bodies forward. Ferriby stood firm for all three points. Full time 5-4. 🏆 The Pete Burgess MOTM - Cameron Richardson Managers Comments: Superb battling performance today, AFC Cottingham have a lot of top players and it showed. After a fair few missing today, regardless of the performance, three points were needed, even it was to be smash and grab. After a few new signings in the summer, its exciting to see the squad take shape but plenty of tough games ahead. ✍️Sponsored by: 👉 Bikeliner Travel and Coaches 👉 Fraternity Barbers Beverley 👉 Firepit Smokehouse and Bar

We gave them too much respect and allowed them to play, which with their quality was going to end in defeat. A good run out nonetheless and a good opportunity to see which lads kept going and who gave up. ✍️Sponsored by: 👉 Bikeliner Travel and Coaches 👉 Fraternity Barbers Beverley 👉 Firepit Smokehouse and Bar
