Match report   Title favourites Poppleton Tigers hosted Fulford in what was a top quality game of football. Fulford took the lead when a cross/shot from Tom Brotton found it's way into the top corner. A free kick from just outside the area lead to the Poppleton equaliser as the ball rebounded from a Jack B save to the striker who tapped in from close range. Halftime score 1:1. It was a fantastic long range free kick from Paddy that restored the visitors lead and the back four of Luke, Will, Matty & Harry were excellent and did everything they could to keep the league leaders out as the pressure mounted. Both sides had chances as the game entered the last 15 mins with Fulford still holding a slender one goal lead. The ball was lost in midfield but you wouldn't have expected to concede but the Poppleton player curled a fantastic shot into the top corner to equalise. It looked like the game would end in a draw but as time ticked away Poppleton won the ball in midfield and forced a corner. A good delivery was met with a solid header by the Poppleton centre back who hit the back of the net. It was a great game of football played in a fantastic spirit and both teams were a credit to their respective clubs. Final score: 3-2 to the home team.
