JAMES SLY TROPHY – FINAL

KELLINGTON v AIREDALE

After reaching the semi – finals of all three cup competitions this season Kellington finally progressed through to the final where they met the first division opposition of Airedale.

The team arrived by minibus ( kindly organised and driven by Andy Ellis ) at the ground an hour before kick off to help familiarise themselves with the pitch and the surroundings. The pitch had been freshly cut and marked out for the occasion and with the weather warm and sunny an excellent afternoon of football was anticipated.

The support from the village was excellent and seeing so many people turn up to watch was an inspiration to the team.

Airedale won the toss and elected to play the first half with what little wind there was behind them and were quickly into there stride creating a couple of good early chances but were thwarted by two excellent saves from John Holland. Kellington suffered a setback after only 15 minutes when left back Neil Chadwick had to leave the field with a leg injury. He was replaced by John Magyar who took up the right back position with Adam Fenton moving across to the left. Kellington responded by applying pressure of their own with Andy Moore taking on the Airedale defence out wide and supplying chances for Simon Wootton and Dave Rathbone who both came agonisingly close to scoring At this point there was a sudden change in the weather conditions and Kellington were forced to play into strong winds and hailstone. As the crowd took cover manager Peter Shann’s instructions were to hold tight and try not to concede a goal before half time. The back four were under immense pressure but Richard Bray, Adam Fenton, John Magyar and James Macmillan all held firm with able support from Darren Toes in midfield. Captain John Holland was forced into action on numerous occasions with some outstanding saves. Kellington finally conceded a goal minutes before half time which was a blow after all the hard work against the elements.

At half time the weather conditions improved and Pete Shann urged his team to have confidence in the ability they had shown all season and to take the game to Airedale in the second half. Kellington took his words on board and started the second half brightly.

The midfield quartet of Darren Toes, Steven Cox, Andy Moore and Ryan Nock were continually getting the better of Airedale who began to resort to familiar strong arm tactics but to no avail as everyone held their discipline. Kellington were rewarded for their efforts midway through the second half when a shot from Dave Rathbone rebounded to the edge of the penalty area where Ryan Nock was at hand to volley the ball into the back of the net. Kellington were in the ascendancy and created more chances but were not able to turn the pressure into goals. There were chances at both ends towards the end of the game but at full time the scores were level and extra time had to be played. Kellington were again the stronger and better team during extra time and the game had to stop several times as many of the Airedale players began to suffer with cramp and injuries.

Extra time finished with no addition to the score and the game had to be decided on a penalty shoot out. Airedale won the toss and decided to take the first penalty which they scored. Dave Rathbone was adamant that he was going to take the first penalty for Kellington and scored with confidence. Airedale’s second penalty was missed and Darren Toes scored to put Kellington in front. Simon Wooton stepped up to take kellingtons third penalty but saw his shot saved only for the referee to order the kick to be taken again because the keeper moved, he made no mistake with his second attempt. Ryan Nock took Kellingtons fourth penalty but unfortunately hit it wide. That left the score at 4 – 4. Steven Cox coolly scored the fifth and when John Holland saved Airedale’s sixth penalty Rich Bray had the chance to win it for Kellington but the Airedale keeper was up to the task and saved it. James Macmillan scored his to make it 6 – 6. John Magyar stood up to the intense pressure and blasted his penalty in to make it 7 – 7. John Holland then pulled off another fine save to give Kellingtons last player, Adam Fenton, who had never had to take a penalty before, the chance to win it. Adam placed the ball on the spot and took three steps back, could he do it? The whistle blew and he stepped forward and hit the ball high and wide to the keepers left and straight into the back of the net to seal a brilliant cup win for Kellington F.C.

Everyone is welcome to call into the Red Lion in Kellington to see the League winner’s trophy and the James Sly trophy on proud display. Kellington are playing in the 1st Division next season and have already got a couple of young players from the village to join us and strengthen the team. Anyone who can kick a ball is welcome to come and join in and there is also room for those who can’t kick a ball to help with training, managing, fund raising and supporting the VILLAGE TEAM who are on the up and up.

Results - January, 2005

Kellington football team continue their winning ways and are now clear leaders in the second division of the Selby League Football Association. The team has played fifteen league matches, winning eleven, drawing three and losing only one and are three points to the better than their closest rivals, Colton. Playing attractive football they have recently beaten Wistow 5-3 away, Drax 12-2 at home and last week beat Black Dog by 4 goals to 2. Promotion is now very much in their sights.

Saturday 26th March Kellington F.C. beat 1st Division opposition for the third time this season to progress to the quater final of the James Sly Trophy. They beat Garforth 4 - 2 after extra time. Kellington were 1 -0 down until Dave Rathbone scored with a spectacular overhead kick to equalise with 19 minutes to go and take the game into extra time. The score remained the same until the second half of extra time when Richard Bray scored from 1yard out to put Kellington in front only for Garforth to equalise within a minute of the restart. Kellington were then awarded a penalty for handball which Darren Toes converted high to the keepers left to make it 3 - 2. The tie was made safe when Simon Wootton scored an individual goal for Kellington to run out winners 4 -2. Saturday 2nd April Kellington F.C. are playing away at Colton in the semi - final of the Hardy Cup. Match Report Colton 3 - Kellington 1 Kellington slipped to a disappointing 3-1 defeat in the semi - final of the Hardy Cup. A lapse in defence in the first minute allowed Colton to turn defence into attack and take an early lead. There were very few glimpses of the team that had performed so well the previous week to beat first division opposition. Kellington did manage to equalise after 35 minutes when Andy Moore broke away down the right wing and his pinpoint cross was swept in from 6 yards by Dave Rathbone. With the scores level at half time Manager Pete Shann had stern words with the team in an effort to motivate them for the second half. Both teams had chances to score early before Colton finally took advantage from one of a number of free kicks awarded just outside the penalty area. In the dying minutes as Kellington pushed forward in search of an equaliser Colton broke away to score and seal victory. Tuesday 5th April Kellington F.C. are playing away at South Milford where a win will guarentee them winning the 2nd Division title. Match Report Kellington was hoping to secure the Division Two league title and win promotion into next year's First Division by securing a win against South Milford. Unfortunately this was not to be, as the result ended in a 2 all draw. Kellington started off very well and secured a 2 goal led at half time. However, when play resumed South Milford were given far too much space to work in which allowed the home team to score 2 goals, the 2nd one being awarded in very controversial circumstances. Kellington did have a number of chances at scoring but unfortunately none were successful. Saturday 9th April James Sly Quarter Final v Wistow Away - k.o 3.00pm An opportunity for Kellington to progress to their 3rd semi - final of the season Saturday 16th April Kellington v South Milford Home - k.o 3.00pm Final league game of the season where hopefully Kellington will be presented with the League Winners Trophy All support will be most welcome for the remaining games as Kellington F.C. challenge to win 3 trophy's Dale Fenton Kellington F.C.
