Owls unbeaten in last 3 after latest victory

Cleethorpes Town go into next Saturday’s trip to Teversal unbeaten in their last 3 league matches.
The Owls beat Clipstone Welfare 4-2 at the Bradley Community Stadium this afternoon.the game was sponsored by Pattesons Pickles (www.pickles.co.uk) and the match ball by Gary Crofts Estate Agents (http://www.croftsestateagents.co.uk).

It was Andy Liddle’s side who got off to the better start, winning battles for possession and creating openings through good passing. However the opening quarter hour failed to bring with it any spark, as neither side showed urgency going forward.
Cleethorpes had perhaps the best chance in the first 20 minutes when the ball was played through to Marc Cooper who was caught offside.
The home side drew first blood on twenty-two minutes. Passing was key as the ball found its way to Jack Debnam (who is sponsored by Commercial Tyre Supplies,and who struck a vicious shot low down to the Keeper’s right.
Debnam then forced another save moments later following more good passing in the middle of the park.
After that the chances flowed and by rights Cleethorpes should have been five or six goals to the good at half time.
As it was though, the score remained 1-0 to the Owls till just after the break. Clipstone’s Adam Soames found himself in space, and his stinging shot crept in at the far post to put the visitors on level terms.
Lee Tryner’s side were boosted by the goal and continued to push forward giving them the edge in the early stages after half time.
Clee made amends for their slow start however. Ricky Belding slotted home on 53 minutes to restore the lead, after the ball sprang lose on the left of midfield. Belding is sponsored by Scrubby's Crisps.
It took the striker just four minutes to score again after being allowed too much time and space on the ball, which he squeezed in at the near post to make it 3-1 to the Owls.
Clee looked solid at the start of the game, but as time wore on defensive lapses began to creep in now and then. They paid on 65 minutes as Adam Soames added his second for the visitors.
Nine minutes later, any hopes of a Clipstone comeback were extinguished as Jack Debnam smashed in a fourth for the home side, sealing a well-earned victory in a tough and competitive fixture.
The result cements The Owls’ position in the table. They remain 2nd behind league leaders Athersley, who maintain top spot following their 3-0 win over Pontefract Collieries.
