NEWTON'S LAW AS ISAAC SEALS VICTORY


REPORT AND PICTURES FROM LEE FIELDEN

Josh Isaac's ninth goal of the season saw Barnetby United pick up their second win in as many weeks on the Isle of Axholme and lift the team up to third spot in the TSW Printers Scunthorpe & District Football League division one.
On a blustery afternoon at Godnow Road,  Barnetby gave a full debut to 16-year-old Ryan Lidgett and he was involved in the majority of moves in the first half as the wind dictated play was mainly down the right-hand side.
After chances spurned by Cottam and Hill, it was Josh Isaac who was sent through by Hill following slack play by Crowle to find the bottom corner and put United 1-0 up on the stroke of half-time.
Playing up hill, against the wind, in the second half, Barnetby always looked sharp on the break but couldn't add the second goal that would ease nerves.
At the back, Sam Thirkill put in a man of the match performance in goal as United kept a clean sheet for the second week running behind a magnificent back line that soaked up all that Crowle threw at them.
Hill, Gunn and Isaac had chances to put the result beyond doubt but brilliant goalkeeping from Crowle's young keeper kept his side in the game.
The result keeps up Barnetby's unbeaten run away from home this season and sees them rise to third behind Brumby and Crowle.
