Alfreton Town 1,Guiseley 3

Guiseley went from the sublime to the ridiculous within the space of two days. After producing a superb performance to beat league leaders Alfreton Town 3-1 in their own backyard on Saturday they slumped to a 6-2 drubbing by Ossett Town on Monday.

Saturday's performance was absolutely magnificent and even had the home fans singing Guiseley's praises. They took a third minute lead when Mark Stuart drove in Alan Bailey's cross and this silenced the home crowd for a while.

Alfreton piled on the pressure and Guiseley 'keeper Chris Hill was giving a performance reminiscent of his efforts at Luton Town. Despite playing with a broken thumb he was keeping everything out that was thrown at him. Then came the killer blow right on the break with Steve Johnson powering in his header to equalise.

Alfreton bombarded the Guiseley goal for almost 25 minutes at the start of the second-half and there were some magnificent clearing headers from centre-backs Jon Wordsworth and Gary Shaw but above all others David Cooke who must have covered every inch of the pitch.

All his team mates were committed to the effort tackling, harrying and working for each other and they got their reward when Dave Henry netted after good work by Stuart and Chattoe.

The killer blow fort Alfreton came when substitute Nathan Hay broke well and drilled over a low cross which ricocheted off a defender and into the net with Guiseley players waiting to pick up the pieces.

Guiseley 2, Ossett Town 6

Oh what a difference on Monday night when local rivals Ossett Town rolled up at Nethermoor.

Guiseley had leapfrogged them in the table on Saturday and set off as if they were going to widen the gap. Ossett had just three chances in the first-half but scored from all of them with Liam Slack giving them a 15th minute lead.

Guiseley were not too perturbed and levelled three minutes later when David Cooke headed home Mark Stuart's cross.

Ossett however went ahead again with a fluke own goal when a wayward shot took a wicked deflection off Jon Wordsworth to beat John Lamb in goal. Steve Olexovicz made it 3-1 by the break.

Guiseley then fell apart totally in the second-half with Slack going on to complete his hat-trick. David Briggs finished off the scoring for Ossett.

Guiseley, heads down and lacking in spirit, managed to pull a goal back through a Mark Stuart free-kick but all Saturday's good work had been undone.

Manager Neil Parsley's insistence that his players report for training for the next three days said it all.

The Reserves drew 1-1 at Marine with a Gary Birchall goal.
