Farsley AFC recorded a second consecutive West Riding County Women’s League Premier Division victory with a comfortable victory over Keighley at Throstle Nest.
Only the Keighley goalkeeper Laura Thurling prevented the score from being double figures as she made a string of fantastic saves
After a catalogue of chances, Farsley finally broke Thurling’s resistance to open the scoring on 26 minutes when Helen Gresty’s long range attempt proved too high for the goalkeeper to reach.
Close to half-time, Farsley scored again. A Farsley corner hit Kirsty Mayne on the head and found the net and Rob Womersley’s side looked set to record a heavy victory.
But, Keighley dug-in and pulled a goal back early in the second half. Farsley responded as Vicky Mladenovic’s blast found the top corner to ease any worries.
Keighley hit back again on the hour and Farsley survived a few nervy moments as the game reached a close. Clare Parker was guilty of wasting a glorious chance to seal the win on 85 minutes, but the former Leeds United player made up for it with a stylish finish during injury-time.
As the game reached its 95th minute, there was still time for another goal. Star player Orla Haslam, who had caused mayhem for Keighley with her skilful play, chose to shoot from 30 yards and managed to beat Thurling to round off a memorable victory.
Farsley AFC: Sonia Penney, Charlie Roberts (Colette Haslam 77), Beccy Singer, Tora Oetgen, Sarah Firth (captain), Kirsty Mayne, Orla Haslam, Vicky Mladenovic, Clare Parker, Helen Gresty, Millie West (Hayley Hare 61). Sub unused: Meghan Pearce. Farsley player of the match: Orla Haslam
