Worksop Town 0-4 Rainworth Miners Welfare
The Tigers Are Turned Over By The Wrens
The misery continues for the Tigers as goals from Sykes, Jordan, Goodwin and Dawes sealed the win for the Wrens.
A beautiful sun set was in store prior to the match however what unfolded on the pitch was no pretty sight. The visitors found themselves in ninth place but hadn’t won in their last four games. Their previous result was a 3-0 defeat at the hands of relegation threatened Hall Road Rangers. Where as for the Tigers, they’ve fallen to eight successive defeats. They lost 3-1 to leaders AFC Mansfield in their previous fixture.
Rainworth were the dominant team throughout the game. They went very close to opening the scoring in the first three minutes. Tomas Poole raced through on goal after Kyle Jordan had set him free with a ball over the top of the Worksop defence. Poole attempted to curl it around Diggles however the keeper rushed out and tipped the shot wide of the target.
Minutes later, Matt Sykes was through on goal once again. Sykes easily skipped the challenge of Charlie Baird and rifled a shot towards goal which was subsequently parried away to safety.
After ten minutes, the visitors got their noses in front. Matthew Sykes latched on to Kyle Jordan’s header before hitting it low and hard in the corner from a tight angle.
The Tigers had their first and only chance of the first half after twenty minutes. The move started out with good skill from Conor Higginson who teed up Trench out wide. Trench played the ball down the line for Matty Overton. The on loan winger beat his marker and put in a low driven cross to Mitch Husbands who held up the ball for several seconds before turning sharply and shooting towards goal. Unfortunately for the hosts, Ex-Tiger Richard Adams stuck in a leg to deflect the goal-bound shot wide.
The Wrens had two great chances to extend their lead either side of the half hour mark. Sykes was causing the backline of the Tigers many problems with his excellent dribbling ability and quick feet. He burst through one-on-one with the keeper but Josh Diggles spread himself and blocked the shot brilliantly to keep the deficit at only one goal. Then Kyle Jordan saw his corner powered across the face of goal and wide by Richard Adams.
The visitors had another good chance on the stroke of halftime. Matthew Sykes swung in a dangerous ball towards the back stick. Will Sutton headed it away but only to Ex-Worksop Town captain Kyle Jordan whose fierce volley at goal went just over the bar.
A poor first period of play was brought to a halt. Would a halftime team talk inspire the Tigers to fight and get back into the game?
Well Worksop definitely started better in the first moments of the second half. Conor Higginson slipped the ball through to Mitch Husbands. Husbands held off and turned Wankiewicz before hitting his shot straight into the side-netting.
Things took a turn for the worst as Rainworth Miners Welfare added a second goal in the fifty-third minute through Kyle Jordan. A cross from Sykes fell to Jordan whose side-footed volley managed to squeeze between Diggles and the post to nestle in the bottom corner.
Moments later, Rainworth added a third thanks to Ross Goodwin. A deep free-kick from Bradley Jones was unchallenged as it enter the area which allowed Goodwin to smash home from close range.
On the hour mark, Charlie Baird took aim from about thirty yards out however his effort hit the back of the stand rather than the net.
The away side hammered in the final nail in the Tigers’ coffin as they netted again through a former face. The ball made its way out to the right-hand side of the box to Charlie Dawes who took a touch before firing his shot into the bottom corner.
The Tigers almost got a consolation goal late into the game. The ball was worked out to the left where Joel Phillips crossed into the middle. James Milner connected with the set-up but the effort was caught by Francis.
On the stroke of full-time, James Milner chested down Trench’s pump out from the back. Milner flicked it over Walker but the shot, like the performance, was disappointing as it trickled back to the keeper.
The referee blew for the final whistle to put an end to Worksop’s misery and left the fans disgruntled. Next up for the Tigers are Barton Town who are unbeaten in seven games, we play them on Saturday at Sandy Lane.
