Cullingworth 3 Ilkley Dynamo 2
DYNAMO'S recent momentum came to an abrupt halt in the Wharfedale Triangle Premier Division game at Cullingworth.
The visitors failed to produced their recent form as the home side made better use of the ball all over the pitch.
Dynamo lacked cohesion and apart from Oli Blair who gave a fine captain's performance, the team struggled for creative on a poor pitch. They could not adapt to their opponents' long ball tactics and generally the team was uncharacteristically wayward in front of goal.
They missed numerous chances before Stuart Blues put Dynamo ahead. An own goal soon levelled matters.
Cullingworth added two further goals before the visitors eventually found their composure.
Sam Westerman pulled another goal back for Dynamo late after the home side had a player dismissed.
However it was too little too late. Dynamo produced a last-quarter revival against the ten men but the overall performance had been inconsistent throughout.
Dynamo are at home to Clifton Rangers in a West Riding County FA Sunday Cup second round tie on Sunday.
