A poor first half display costs the Tigers as they are defeated in Hull.

It was a trip up to Hull today for Worksop and the game started badly as Hall Road Rangers took the lead inside the first minute through a Louis Bruce long throw, Sam Belchar beat Vank in the air to head into the net.

The lead was doubled when Batty took the ball in his stride and coolly slotted it past an outrushing Alexander.

Worksop has their first chance of the game when Hills long throw fell to Kyle Jordan at the back post via a flick on by a Rangers defender however Jordan volleyed wide.

Rangers made it three when Tom Bennett picked out Spinks run at the back post, the striker lobbed the ball over 6ft 6” Alexander.

It was soon 4-0 when Wankiewicz passed the ball into the path of Fraser Hansen instead of to the keeper, Hansen went round Jason and slotted into an empty net. This would now be an historic comeback if the Tigers were to get anything out of this game, they would have to channel their inner Newcastle United when they came back from 4-0 down to Arsenal to draw.

The visitors were the main force in the second half and were piling on the pressure to kickstart some kind of comeback. They went close when substitute Micah Bishop crossed into the middle where Matty Thompson stabbed the ball just inches wide.

Twenty minutes from time Worksop were down to ten men. Jed Phillips, who must of got the ‘kiss of death’ from winning October’s player of the month from the bootiful game magazine, he made a very late challenge on Ben Lewis and after being surrounded by a handful of Hall Road players the referee sent Jed for an early shower.

Shortly after Bishop cut in from the left hand side and rifled a shot across the face of goal, no one else could redirect it towards goal either.

The final chances of the game also fell the Tigers, firstly Currie rolled the defender and slotted the ball towards the back post where Denton was arriving but he couldn’t connect. Then Denton snatched at a shot on the edge of the box but the keeper held on to the ball
