AFC Blackpool 1 (Duffield) Holker Old Boys 2 (Stoker, Stanway J) Att 45
AFC cruising to a solitary goal win which would have been deserved collapsed in a heap in the last seven minutes to lose a game which was theirs for the taking. Two late goals for the visitors and a sending off for the home sides Donaghy?
A pretty entertaining first half with the home side probably shading it, the only surprise was there were no goals in the first half, the woodwork was hit three times twice by the home side in the first period, including a manic 15 second period were they hit the post, had one cleared from the line before the Holker keeper managed to claw a goal bound shot back from the line.
The visitors who are the only side in the division to beat league leaders struggled to get going and spent much of the early part of the game arguing amongst themselves.
They had their chances hit the bar but did well to get to half time level, as the home side missed several other chances to put the game to bed but half time it was all square.
Holker were denied an early lead by a tremendous save by the home keeper from a point blank shot, but soon the home side were on the front foot but couldn't quite get the reward they deserved.
Enter Holker sub Jack Stoker in fact Holker's only sub that they had Jack Stoker. His warm up was less than enthusiastic if possible playing football on a cold night in Blackpool was possibly the less thing that the youngster wanted.
Having had about two touches in about ten minutes, Jack couldn't cut out a pass which led to Duffield scoring from the inside right position, he had another chance but a snap shot ended up going over the stand into the field beyond the stand.
With seven minutes to go it was time for Jack to make an impact, Holker were given a corner by the linesman disputed by the home side, their anger grew when young Jack headed home the equaliser although one of his team mates did say he did his best to avoid the ball but it hit the side of his head and went in. A couple of minutes later the confidence in the young substitute had grown he was looking for the ball when a Blackpool defender tackled him, looked a bit of a two footed tackle, it sparked a brawl, which ended up with the home player being sent off.
The home bench andf players were less than impressed with some of the officials decisions and from a non given throw in Holker stole victory with a low John-Paul Stanway shot from about 18 yards.
At the end of the match AFC's manager was highly reluctant to let the referee leave the pitch and a heated debate took place on the pitch. Unlikely win for Holker
