Albion snatched a last-minute winner to claim victory in the Ossett derby.

Two goals from Rob Bordman and a well-flighted free-kick from him to set up Chairman Dominic Riordan with a header gave Albion the victory in a scrappy game.
Town had the better of the first half although Rob Bordman squandered a good chance when he was through one on one but fired straight at Sam Leigh in the Town goal.
In the 24th minute Town capitalised on one of their quick counter-attacks and Andy Hawksworth 's shot was deflected past Brett Souter in the Albion goal.
Albion were finding it difficult to string passes together and were relying on the long ball.
In the 33rd minute Bordman put Albion back on level terms when the ball came to him just inside the box and he sent a looping header over the stranded goalkeeper.

The first 15 minutes of the second half belonged to Albion and their pressure paid off when a superb free-kick from Bordman was met by Chairman Dominic Riordan who headed the visitors in front.
Town didn't give up and dragged themselves back into the match on the hour mark when the ball broke to David Brown who fired the ball into the Albion net.
From that moment the match could have petered out as a draw but both sides kept trying to create a winner and it was Albion who managed it in the final minute.
A free-kick from Kieran Thompson was headed across goal by Danny South to Adam Muller who headed it back into the area. Bordman was the quickest to react and he fired the ball into the net for Albion to claim all 3 points.

With this win Albion retained their 3rd place in the League table and claimed their third “double” of the season.
