Match Preview

Thackley entertain Garforth Town on Saturday and the Dennyboys will be looking for their fourth double of the season. They beat the Miners back in September 2-1 in a tight game. Since then Garforth have had a bit of an up and down season and are currently in mid table with thirty points from the twenty four games they have played.

Last season, the Dennyboys did do the double over the Miners, winning their home game 3-1 and the away game by the odd goal in seven. Most Thackley supporters will remember the first game at Garforth last season, which was abandoned after seventy five minutes because of fog, at the time the Dennyboys were four goals to the good and Tom Dugdale had grabbed a hat trick. In the replayed game, justice was done, because Thackley did get the three points they deserved, however, Tom had to be satisfied with just two goals.

The Dennyboys, although on a nine league match unbeaten run, have faltered a bit lately with a couple of scoreless draws. Meaning, the defence has been doing its job but the forwards have not been converting their chances. Teams cannot pick up three points without scoring goals, so on Saturday, as well as keeping another clean sheet, Thackley need to make sure they start hitting the back of the net.
