Worksop Town Under 19s 3-0 Retford United Under 19s
The Tigers claim the bragging rights in the Bassetlaw Derby after a dominant performance over the Badgers.
After six weeks without a game, Worksop opened the scoring four minutes in when Mlynarski ran along the edge of the box before passing the ball through the Retford backline for Josh Carpenter to latch on to, he finished his chance for his maiden goal for the Tigers on his debut.
Shortly after the lead was doubled through Luke Smith. Smith dispossessed Dec Heath and then noticed goalkeeper Morgan Reach was off his line so the midfielder unleashed a sweet strike from thirty yards which nestled nicely into the back of the net.
United had their first chance of the game when Zach Casburn managed the bust through a well set up Tigers defence. The number nine wrong footed Tigers skipper Blake Blythe and shot but the effort was tame and Fielding easily saved.
Fielding and Blythe were called into action once again when Colley played Heath down the right hand side, Heath cut in and shot but Blythe and Fielding together thwarted Heath from pulling a goal back.
Carpenter almost bagged his brace when he brilliantly brought down Jake Black’s cross, Josh shot sharply but the Badgers keeper rushed out to block the shot. That was it for the first half with the Tigers leading 2-0.
It was one way traffic after that in the second half, especially when the Tigers added a third ten minutes after the restart. Substitute Mason Gee switched play from left to right where Mlynarski took the ball in his stride before picking up his second assist of the game by putting through Harry Dunbar to slot past the keeper, This was Harry’s sixth goal of the campaign.
Igor almost was on the scoresheet himself as Alex Boyd dinked the ball over the Retford defence to the on rushing winger. Mlynarski cut in from the right and fired a shot towards the bottom corner, however the Retford keeper got down quickly and saved.
There was a big worry for Retford as Morgan Reah went down out cold. Smith curled an effort towards goal from a set-piece. Reah dropped the ball as Carpenter looked to tap in a certain fourth but Carpenter and Reah collided with the Retford number one worse off. He was eventually carried off on a stretcher.
Worksop were content with keeping possession for eleven minutes of added time to confirm all three points and implement their status as league leaders at Christmas. A brilliant achievement
