Ikley Town 3 Kellingley MW 3

A spectacular free-kick after eight minutes of overtime, denied Ilkley Town a West Yorkshire League Division One victory.

After poor results in the previous two games, the Ilkley Town players produced an encouraging performance which saw them lead three times.

Mark Houlston opened the scoring when he deflected Allen Hey's cross into the net, but Kellingley levelled when a long ball pierced the home defence and resulted in an equaliser.

Town continued to create chances and regained the lead when Sam Westerman and Ross Hutchinson combined to put Damian Smith clear and he slotted home.

The lead lasted until the 75th minute when Kellingley converted a penalty.

Town thought they had won the game when they went ahead for the third time when Hutchison drilled home a left-foot shot after good work by debut-making Tom Hunter.

It was looking good for Town until Kellingley's late, late equaliser.
