Skipton Town FC 1 – 2 Gargrave Reserves

October 10, 2011

There was little to choose between the two teams but a defensive error gave Town the opportunity to take the lead with a well finished goal. Gargrave pressed for the equaliser and a good goal from Robert Barker levelled the score at 1-1. The Skipton Town keeper played well and gave Gargrave little chance to pull ahead. However a goal mouth scramble ten minutes from time gave Gargrave the opening they needed to take the lead with Barker again the man in the frame. Harry Thompson was man of the match for Gargrave.

Hellifield Sports FC 2 – 5 Gargrave Reserves

October 2, 2011

This top of the table clash started evenly with little to choose between the two teams. Harry Thompson squared the ball to player manager Jonathan Chapman who scored with a tap in. Thompson was the scorer of the second goal with a shot into the top corner of the net five minutes from the half time break. Robert Barkers solo effort and neat finish created the third goal for the visitors. Hellifield found the back of the net but man of the match Matthew Simpson took the score beyond their reach with his volley from the edge of the area. Gargraves fifth goal of the game came from Tom Varey who finished well. Hellifield scored their second goal five minutes from time. The teams are now level on points but Gargrave have the advantage of a game in hand and a goals advantage.

Gargrave Reserves 2 – 1 Embsay Reserves

September 19, 2011

Gargrave started the game badly by giving away a soft goal in the opening seconds. They soon restored their credibility and took control of the game with Tom Varey scoring a well deserved goal to level. Lee Dent came close with a shot across goal. Embsay had few chances but did strike the bar just before the half time whistle. Gargrave continued to pressure the visitors defence and man of the match Matthew Simpson was a constant threat. A superb extended save from Martin Eyles in the home goal kept the score level. Gargrave were finally rewarded with a winning goal from Harry Thompson just minutes from the final whistle. A well deserved three points from the  first game of the season.

Rolls Royce Reserves 1 – 2 Gargrave Reserves

April 23, 2011

This was the Reserves last game of the season. William Beckwith opened the scoring for Gargrave with a well taken penalty. Rolls levelled on the half time mark from a free kick. Gargrave just had the edge over Rolls and they were worthy of a winning goal which came via some good work from Sam Ashby who squared the ball to Lee Dent who calmly shot past the keeper. Dent had an excellent game working hard throughout the ninety minutes. A good way to complete the season for the Gargrave players in a match where they all gave one hundred per cent.

Gargrave Reserves 0 – 2 Pendle Renegades

April 18, 2011

Gargrave almost went ahead in the first few minutes of play when a shot from Rhys Aldersley hit the upright. However it was to be a goal less half with neither side having any real goal scoring opportunities. A glancing header from Pendle gave them a 1-0 lead. Gargrave tried to create chances but the Pendle keeper was never really tested. A cruel bounce of the ball on the hard surface gifted Pendle a second and the full three points.

Skipton Town FC 1 – 3 Gargrave Reserves

April 6, 2011

At last a long awaited and well deserved three points from a game from the hard working young squad who have been thwarted by luck going against them in the results particularly at the tail end of the season. Sam Ashby opened the scoring but Skipton Town replied to level. A header from Lee Dent put Gargrave back in the driving seat and a twenty five yard screamer – wind assisted! from Chris Cox sealed the points.

Gargrave Reserves 3 – 3 Rolls Royce Reserves

April 3, 2011

Gargrave began the game in confident mode after an excellent performance against Crosshills mid week. Jonathan Chapman came close in the first minutes of the game with a long low shot.Rolls rattled the bar and a corner from Gargrave carried by the wind also hit the bar. Neat passing through to Chapman saw his shot hit the back of the net for Gargrave to take a 1-0 lead on the half hour mark. Harry Thompson weaved his way into the box and placed his shot into the corner of the net for the hosts to enjoy a 2-0 lead at the break. Rolls just minutes into the second half pulled the score back to 2-1. A lob from Gargrave was just short but Rolls made no mistake when they levelled. A defensive error gifted Rolls their third and took them into the lead. Gargrave continued to push for goal spurred on by the hard working Jonathan Chapman who was rewarded for his endeavours when he brought the score back to 3 all. Gargrave almost claimed the winner with a lobbed shot which went just inches wide but a share of the points was welcome.

Gargrave Reserves 0 – 1 Crosshills FC

April 3, 2011

With an 8-0 deficit against league leaders Earby Town the previous Saturday and the same scoreline against second placed Crosshills at the start of the season it should on paper have been a walk over for Crosshills on Wednesday night when they faced bottom of the table Gargrave Reserves. However the West Yorkshire squad were more than surprised by the performance of their hosts who battled for every ball with every player giving one hundred per cent. The defence were excellent as the final scoreline reflects and it was only a cruel own goal that gave Crosshills the points.

Earby Town FC 8 – 0 Gargrave Reserves

March 28, 2011

The is was a top vs bottom of the table clash. Gargrave Reserves more than held their own for the first thirty five minutes of the game but as soon as Earby got their vital first goal the floodgates then opened. Stand in keeper Tom Wood  performed extremely well and but for his efforts the scoreline may have been greater.
