Albion battled well against a strong Witton Albion side in their opening League game of the season.

Witton shaded the first half but Albion defended well, they did however have a long range effort from Rob Bordman tipped over the bar.

Ossett Albion were much livelier in the second half and both Bordman and Nicky Matthews went close.

The Witton goal came on 71 minutes somewhat against the run of play. A mistimed back pass from Kieran Thompson allowed Alex Titchiner to intercept, round keeper Brett Souter and tap into an empty net.

Thomspon made amends minutes later when he blocked a goal bound shot to deny Titchiner his second.

Despite coming away empty handed Albion gave a good account of themselves and are hoping for a more successful season.
