ILKLEY Town rounded the year off in style as they cruised to a 4-2 victory at South Leeds on Saturday. The visitors were in ruthless mood and blew their hosts away with a stunning first half showing that saw them bag four goals and set up a comfortable win.
The result was the perfect way for Ilkley to end the year and they will be hoping to carry this form into the new year. South Leeds on the other hand will be looking to regroup and bounce back from the defeat.
The game got off to a flying start with Ilkley taking an early lead. They continued to pile on the pressure and soon found themselves 2-0 up. The hosts struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the Ilkley attack and were further behind when the visitors added two more goals before the break.
The second half was a much more subdued affair with both teams creating half chances but neither able to add to the score. South Leeds did manage to grab two consolation goals but it was too little too late and Ilkley ran out comfortable winners.
The win was a great team effort from Ilkley with all the players contributing to the victory. The defense was solid and the midfield controlled the tempo of the game. Up front the Ilkley attack was clinical and took their chances well.
Ilkley will be looking to build on this win and keep their momentum going into the new year. They have a tough run of fixtures coming up but will be confident of picking up some positive results. South Leeds on the other hand will be looking to learn from their defeat and come back stronger in their next game.
The victory for Ilkley was a great way to end the year and they will be hoping to start the new year in the same vein. With their current form they will be a tough opponent for anyone and will be looking to make a push for the top of the table.
