Silsden win at Grimsby Borough to move into play-offs

They produced an excellent performance to win 2-0 at Grimsby Borough on Saturday, a result that has put them into the top seven on goal difference.

Dexter Ball put the Cobbydalers in front with his first goal for the club after 22 minutes.

Toby Jeffrey won the ball in midfield before finding Ball, who drilled a shot into the net off the post.

Both sides had their chances thereafter and Grimsby looked likely to equalise as the second half wore on.

But instead Silsden wrestled back some control late on and clinched the three points when Aaron Pickles volleyed home their second goal from Cody Cromack’s corner.

Keighley Town were on course for their first win in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division, leading 2-1 at home to Frickley Athletic.

But with around 20 minutes left, visiting player Lloyd Smith suffered a horrific injury, breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle.

Understandably, the game was abandoned, with both sides now awaiting news on whether the game will be replayed at a later date.

Finally, Barnoldswick Town were beaten 2-0 in their top of the table clash away to Droylsden.

The result sees Barlick drop from second to fourth in the North West Counties League Premier Division table.

They are now four points behind leaders Droylsden, having played a game more too.
