Eccleshill United..2 Gremlins U-14s.........1

Underdogs Eccleshill lifted the Stephen Greenwood Memorial Trophy on Sunday by beating a team that had done the double over them in the Craven League.

Eccleshill set out their stall early in the game and stuck with their game plan throughout, defending tenaciously and double marking Guiseley's danger men, while always being ready to attack on the break.

Eccleshill also coped best with the conditions, with Guiseley seemingly bemused by the long grass out on the wings with a hard, bumpy surface in the middle.

After five minutes Guiseley 'keeper Jake Wray had to palm a fierce header over the bar while at the other end the Gremlins were limited to a long range effort from Chris Napoli; a flick from Will Stubbs which skidded wide and a Chris Davey goal which was disallowed for offside.

Eccleshill went ahead after 20 minutes when Ryan Morris raided down the right and crossed for an unmarked Lawrence Grimshaw to head home at the far post.

The Gremlins fought desperately for the equaliser. Joe Parry broke down the left into the box but his shot was deflected wide. Chris Davey launched in a wickedly swinging corner only for Will Stubbs to head narrowly beyond the far post.

Ultimately it was Eccleshill who scored, extending their lead when Michael Spafford broke away down the right and scored with a cross shot.

Guiseley pulled a goal back just before half-time when Lewis Blakey rose above the defence to head home a corner from Chris Davey.

Eccleshill hung on in determined fashion in the second- half. Goalkeeper James Tallent saved well from Stubbs and Parry. On the break, Eccleshill were stopped by a series of headed clearances by James Campbell and near the end Chris Davey came close to equalising with a powerful free-kick, palmed onto the bar by Tallent.

As the final seconds ticked away a dangerous Gremlins break was foiled when Davey broke through with just the 'keeper to beat but agonisingly the ball bobbled up off the uneven ground onto his knee as he shaped to shoot.

Ultimately it always looked to be Eccleshill's day and they ran out deserved winners for their determination and control of the game under difficult conditions.
