Barnoldswick Town 2 v Ovenden West Riding 1

Town used this friendly to blood some of the young players from the Under 18'2 and to get the fitness levels up of players returning from injury. Town went a goal down after 3 minutes when Ovenden attack with great will, having two shots kicked of the line in quick succession the ball rebounded to another forward who hammered it past Chris Brennan in the Town goal who could only push it onto the post and into the net. Town then went on the attack and scored twice in three minutes, Paul Barrett scoring with a penalty and then Craig Bradshaw dribbling round the keeper and scoring from a tight angle. It was good to see James Cooney in midfield again after weeks off injured. Also Adam Greenwood and Josh Garvey from the Under 18's who also showed up well.
