Match Preview

It's Garforth Town v Albion Sports in the NCEL Premier Division Playoff Final this Saturday, kick-off 3pm.

Albion had to endure a nervy week after they'd finished their league season. Penistone could have still pipped them to the playoffs if they'd won their three games in hand, but a draw against Knaresborough ended their hopes.
The Lions have a couple of former Garforth men in their ranks. Helmo Silva was a very popular figure at Town in recent years and Fernando Moke was a part of the Garforth "entertainers" side that graced the Evo-Stik league.
The main threats will come from the leagues' second top scorer Rob Fox (33 goals this campaign) and prolific veteran Ashley Flynn, who scored both goals in the semi-final at Campion.
While Garforth don't have a player in the top scorers chart, they have amassed 102 goals in 38 games, 34 more than their visitors.

Garforth have yet to beat Albion this season, losing 3-1 there and drawing 1-1 at the Bannister Prentice Stadium, but Town are unbeaten in their last seven games.

Garforth came through a nail-biting penalty shoot-out at home to Rossington in the semi-final, in front of the biggest crowd of the season in the NCEL (976).
Albion pulled off a shock by beating favourites Campion in the other semi-final.
