North Ferriby United

Pre-season Friendly
Frickley Athletic 0  North Ferriby United  2  
Scorers: NFU: Ryan Kendall 10, Nathan Jarman 12
 Two early goals gave Ferriby a fairly comfortable victory 
in their final pre-season game. 

The first-half was competitive and end-end. However 
chances were few and far between. Ferriby’s approach
play was good but they lacked some luck around the area
as little touches and flicks hit defenders or went slightly astray.

Ryan Kendall gave Ferriby the lead after ten minutes when he
 calmly fired past home keeper Jamie Green from Nathan 
Jarman’s pass.

Two minutes later Jarman fired through a defender’s legs
and beat Green at the neat post to put The Villagers two ahead.

The next significant attempt on goal after 33 minutes with
 Antoni Pecora superbly tipping-over Joe Fox’s 25-yard drive.

Tom Davie fired well-wide for Ferriby following good work by
Danny Clarke and Paul Robson. 

Ferriby were playing some attractive football and the defence
and midfield pretty much snuffed=out Frickley’s attacks.

The second-half saw Ferriby create a few more chances. 
Kendall volleyed over from Jamie Yates’ cross then headed 
wide from Danny Clarke’s cross after Yates’ cross had evaded everybody.

Frickley wasted a good opportunity after 60 minutes. Jason 
Yates saw his close-range shot well-blocked by Pecora. The 
rebound fell to Luke Hinsley who fired over when well-placed.

Yate’s crossing caused problems for Frickley. Matt Wilson saw
 his volley go straight to substitute keeper Tom Woodhead.

Pecora made a good one-handed save from Yates in one of 
Frickley’s few penetrating attacks.

Tom Davie then fed Jarman whose Flick again went straight to the keeper.
 
Woodhead made two good saves in the closing stages. First he 
turned round a Kendall shot then tipped over a Gregg Anderson header.

This was a professional performance by Ferriby. There was some
 good movement and passing that caused problems for Frickley. 
The defence and midfield were in control for most of the game 
and Pecora was solid in goal.

Ferriby Manager Billy Heath said, “It was a decent performance. 
It was a bit physical for the first 30 minutes. We played within 
ourselves in the final 30 minutes. The main objectives of the game
 were achieved: a win, a clean sheet and no injuries.”
