Preview: Frickley Athletic (A)

Martin Eastwood13 Nov 2023 - 10:00

A trip to South Elmsall up next as the Pewits look to regain top spot.

Emley head to Westfield Lane to face Frickley Athletic on Tuesday night knowing that a 4th straight league win will put them back on top of the NCEL Premier Division as they look to extend the unbeaten run to 12 games in all competitions.

Following on from Saturday's FA Vase success, Emley are back on the road to face a Frickley side who they beat 3 times last season, however, this Frickley side has hit a bit of form themselves, 6 games unbeaten in all competitions, 22 goals scored and only 3 conceded in that run suggests this will be a close affair.

Frickley's good run has seen them climb to 6th in the table, 4 places and 5 points behind 2nd placed Emley, Emley's run saw them take top spot last week only to be knocked off by Campion's comeback against Knaresborough on Saturday, Emley still have 3 games in hand on Campion though.

Emley won all 3 meetings last season scoring 3 goals each time and they will be hoping for a repeat of that on Tuesday evening as the 2 meanest defences in the NCEL look to come out on top.

Last time out:
Frickley 3-0 Thackley (Walker, Townrow, Boocock) NCELP, Att- 176
Emley 1-0 Heaton Stannington (Metcalfe) FAV2R,Att- 438.
