Goalscorer – Phil Eccleston
Man of the Match – Ian Kellet
A very good crowd witnessed a single goal victory for North Lancs League side Ingleton much to the delight of their large band of followers.
A strong wind blowing down field at Skipton Town last Friday evening made ball control difficult in the early stages ; however it was Ingleton playing into the teeth of the wind that snatched a early goal that proved to be the winner. From a inswinging corner Philip Eccleston’s glancing header beat every one in a crowded goal mouth.
Embsay who had finished a disappointing mid table position in Craven League Division One took time to settle after this early set back as Ingleton with the confidence of the goal played a good passing game having the majority of the possession but found the Embsay keeper Nick Williamson in good form, handling well throughout the game. Wally Robertson who along with Stephen Speak had played in a Embsay cup side in 1992 almost brought a equaliser with a 30 yard free kick which brought a excellent save from another veteran of Craven Association finals, Ingleton keeper Ian Kellett.
With wind advantage in the second half it was expected that Ingleton would dominate the game but to their credit Embsay also displayed a better passing game as can be the case against a strong wind and Kellett had to be at his best to deny Embsay a goal when he produced three saves to thwart the ever dangerous Greenwood twice and Capstick deservedly picking up the Man of the Match award.
The final was played in a very good spirit with referee Willie Naylor stamping his own style on the game issuing a yellow card for a misdemeanour when the Ingleton support was baying for a straight red against Embsay defender Duncan Ward for a late tackle. Both teams were presented to Mr Peter Marsden President of West Riding County Football Association and a loyal servant to Craven football over many years, who also presented the cup and individual trophies.
