Wakefield & District Sunday Football League (Division Three)

Carlton Athletic ------------------------------------------- 3
Wakefield Athletic "B" ----------------------------------- 1
 
Wakefield Athletic "B" continued their poor start to the season with a 3-1 away defeay at the hands of Carlton Athletic in this Division Three fixture.
 
Both midfields battled for early supermacy but very few chance were created.  However, minutes from half-time Richard Griffiths lashed a right-foot effort past a stranded keeper and a flat-footed defence to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
 
Wakefield introduced Andy Black and Ismael Dibagh on the turn and this injected a bit of pace into the visitors attacking options which was rewarded with an equaliser when Ismael's effort found target in-off the post.
 
With Wakefield seeking a winner, their defence was left under-manned and saw Shaun Mitchell and Neil Craven strike on the counter-break to seal victory.
 
The WYCO man-of-the match award for Wakefield Athletic "B" was shared by Simon Eastwood and Henry Tang.
