Hemsworth Miners Welfare 0-2 Worksop Town
The Tigers beat The Wells to advance in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup
A penalty from Danny Patterson and a Tomas Poole volley put the Tigers ahead in the first half. Town held their own in the second period and limited the home side to seal their place in the next round.
Welfare came into this cup tie on the back of their first league defeat this season, losing 0-1 to Barton Town (who are now joint top of the NCEL with Hemsworth after their 3-1 victory over Handsworth Parramore)
The Tigers also lost their first game in all competitions after losing heavily against Northern Premier League outfit, Nantwich Town.
Which side could get back to winning ways at The Yorkshire NuBuilds Stadium?
Hemsworth opened the chances in this contest in the opening few minutes.
Max Pemberton nearly accidentally opened the scoring for the host’s as he redirected Sam Leach’s in-swinging cross towards goal but Dave Reay was on hand to spare his blushes and caught the ball on the line.
Moments later, Jack Wakefield saw his corner powered just wide at the front post by Luke Danville.
On nine minutes, Matt Reay was bundled over in the box and referee Melissa Burgin, who had an excellent game, pointed to the spot. Danny Patterson stepped up and slammed home the opener from twelve yards.
Hemsworth then had the chance to equalise on nineteen minutes. A Collier crossed fizzed up into the air for Adam Wilson who volleyed just wide of Reay’s right hand post.
The Tigers then squandered a glorious chance to double their lead. Steve Woolley threaded Trench down the left flank where the wing-back took the ball in his stride. Trench accelerated towards goal before seeing his shot parried into the path of Tomas Poole who managed to slice his shot wide of the open goal.
Bradley Dockerty, who was wearing the number ten jersey, looked to be The Wells’ main attacking threat. He was involved in two opportunities in as many minutes to try and level the game.
Firstly, Dockerty slipped past the challenge of Price before seeing his rifled shot, from the edge of the area, fly straight into the midriff of Dave Reay who held onto the attempt.
Then Dockerty squared the ball across the box to Richard Collier who fluffed his lines and scuffed his shot wide from ten yards out.
The Tigers extended their tally with five minutes of the half remaining. Tomas Poole made up for his earlier miss as he struck a fine volley past Rusling after the ball was headed into his path by Michael Jones.
The half-time whistle went with the Tigers leading by two goals to nil.
Welfare had the first chance of the second period when Dockerty escaped the attention of Brad Wilson to latch onto a Wakefield through-ball but the striker saw his thunderous effort ricochet off the post and out for a goal-kick.
Tomas Poole almost bagged his brace eleven minutes after the break in unusual fashion. Poole closed down a back pass to Rusling who had a ‘heart in the mouth’ moment as he saw his clearance deflect off the gluteus maximus of Tomas Poole but to his relief, the ball went just inches over the bar.
Dave Reay then denied the home side two glimpses at goal. Richard Collier cut in from the left flank and struck a sweet shot from twenty-five yards which Dave Reay stood strong and caught the swerving effort. Minutes later, the prominent figure was on hand to palm away Dockerty’s stinging shot, from similar range, out for a corner which in the end came to nothing.
Worksop Town stayed compact for the rest of the game to not only confirm their place in the next round, but to show a positive reaction to their loss to Nantwich Town. A professional and solid performance!
The Tigers next face Winsford United in the next round of the FA Vase on Saturday, 15th September.
Where as Hemsworth face Goole AFC in the league as they were automatically placed in the next round of the Vase as their opponents, Wythenshaw Town and Rylands, were removed from the competition.
MAN OF THE MATCH: Tomas Poole
It was an excellent team performance with one or two standing out. I gave the MOTM to Tomas Poole for his hard work, quickness and willingness to turn defence into attack and was brilliant on the ball. He took his goal wonderfully and has proven to be an excellent addition in the summer.
After the game I interviewed Poole about the performance and his goal;
“We weren’t at the races on Saturday. I know they are a better team than us and two leagues above but I thought it was right to come here today and play well and work hard and as long as you work hard, the results will come and I thought we did that tonight.
“Everyone wants to play but we’re in it together whether we come off the bench or start. Obviously I want to start every game but yeah I’m happy with the goal but I’m glad we’ve got the win at the end of the day.
“To be honest, I had to make up for the one I missed ten minutes before it but I took a touch, just made sure I hit it well and it went into the bottom corner”.
