Garforth 1-2 Radcliffe Borough

Garforths' interest in this seasons' F.A. Trophy ended on a chilly night at the Genix.

The match started brightly enough, as Town looked to start where they left off in the first match, with sustained pressure on the Radcliffe goal.
After a game of pinball in the Radcliffe box in the third minute, Paul Walker beat the keeper at the third attempt through a crowd of players.

Garforth looked like they may increase the lead with a succession of corners, but the away defence stood firm.

Radcliffes' main point of attack all night was down the right wing, and that's where their first goal came from.
Good work by Jones ended with a low drive accross the six yard box, that was tucked away by Richard Chetcuti.

Town didn't panic and continued with their patient passing game.
Fisher went on a fine run, playing a one-two with Walker, before drawing a smart save from Culkin in the Radcliffe goal.

As the half went on, Radcliffe seemed happy to concede possession to Garforth in Towns' half, and try to hit them on the break through the pacey Richardo Brandao.

Radcliffe took the lead on fifty five minutes, again attacking down the right.
The ball was cut back to the edge of the area to Reece Kelly, who turned his marker and calmly placed a shot beyond the helpless Brendan Wood.

Garforth had most of the ball after this, and huffed and puffed, but couldn't blow the brick wall of the Borough back defence down.

Brown, Collins and Auja came on to try and rescue the game, but Radcliffe had enough to see the game out.
