Ilkley Dynamo 0 Skybet 4

DYNAMO suffered a heavy home defeat against Wharfedale Triangle Premier Division leaders Skybet.

The visitors won Division One last season and are favourites to clinch the Premier title at the first attempt.

The teams had met twice previously this season and both had been tight affairs.

On this occasion, each team had regular players missing and Dynamo gave a debut to the impressive Stuart Blue.

In the initial exchanges they belied their lowly league position and looked comfortable on the ball despite having to re-shuffle the side.

Competent performances from Michael Gandy and Ben Cater helped to keep honours even until a sharp visiting team snatched two quick goals just prior to the break.

Any mistake was severely punished and the league leaders then really turned up the heat.

Although Dynamo kept in the game, thanks to some strong block tackling, they they could not break down a defence that had only conceded 19 league goals all season.

Further Skybet raids provided another two goals but despite the visitors having a player dismissed late in the match, Dynamo could find no way back.
