RAILWAYMEN THROUGH TO SHIELD QUARTER FINALS

Barnetby are through to the Johnstone Insurance Sporting Shield quarter finals following a 6-2 victory over Briggensians at The Brigg Recreation Ground, writes Lee Fielden.
They started much the brighter and when Davies won the ball in midfield his pass to O’Callaghan was placed past Benson in the Briggensians goal to gain an early lead.
Minutes later O’Callaghan was fed into the inside left channel and he duly returned the favour as his pull back was met by Davies to make the score 2-0.
Bocock replaced Forrest in an early substitution as Barnetby continued to pile pressure on the Briggensians goal. Benson, though, was in inspired form in goal and he made countless saves, including a stunning save to deny Steve Jordan, to keep the score at 2-0 at the break.
The second half saw Barnetby fail to find their rhythm and were hit with a sucker punch when the ball was lost in midfield and Neil Altoft got through one-on-one with Tuplin and made the score 2-1. It was game on now in a what was a game that should have been finished at half time.
The Railwaymen were still creating chances but failed to convert any.
On 70 minutes, Langton playing as a makeshift centre-half picked the ball up in his own box as Barnetby defended a corner. He drove out with the ball, over the halfway line and deep into the Briggensians half, where he slipped in Wilkins who hit a hard low shot into the bottom corner to make it 3-1.
3-1 became 4-1 moments later as Wilkins bagged his 2nd of the game. Briggensians don’t lie down though and following a defensive mix up which gifted Briggensians a corner Mile Farmery headed home the resulting kick to make it 4-2.
Stung into action once again Barnetby poured forward and following a scramble in the Briggensians box the ball fell to 16 year old Freddie George, on for Watson, who duly smashed home his 1st senior goal to make it 5-2.
In the dying moments of the game O’Callaghan broke free down the left and finished in style to make it 6-2 and see Barnetby into the quarter finals.
