Sheffield FC v Hallam FC

Pre-Season Friendly

Hallam’s first pre-season game of the 2019/20 season ended in defeat, as Sheffield FC ran out 4-0 winners in the latest edition of the World’s Oldest Derby at The Coach & Horses Ground. A convincing win for the home side, but a very good run out for The Countrymen nonetheless.

It was a thrilling afternoon in Cleckheaton yesterday; but when the dust had settled, it was NCEL Premier Division side Liversedge who advanced to the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Vase after edging past Hallam after extra time. It was tough on the Countrymen-and our own Frazer Turner was there to capture the action for the Hallam FC Website

Hallam 3 Eccleshill United 1

Ben Thornton helped himself to a brace as Hallam ran out comfortable victors against Wrose based club Eccleshill at a sun-drenched Sandygate to maintain their promotion push.

A 2-1 defeat at high-flying Retford on Saturday brought the curtain down on a week to forget in Toolstation NCEL Division One for Hallam. Following the adandonment in midweek, when the floodlights failed with the Countrymen 4-0 up after an hour, a penalty just after the hour saw Hallam head home empty- handed from The Rail after Richard Tootle had levelled the contest with a screamer from distance in the first half. Ian Jones and Glenn Poulton from the Hallam FC Website caught up with Manager Stephen Whitehead, who offered his reflections on a turbulent few days.

Ruthless Hallam battled to a hard-fought win at the HE-Barnes stadium to notch up their eighth successive victory and keep the pressure turned up on the play off pack.

Toolstation NCEL Premier Division side Staveley Miners Welfare advanced to the First Preliminary Round of the Emirates FA Cup-and a home tie with Lincoln United, after a battling 2-0 win over Hallam at Sandygate yesterday. 

It was a cracking tie watched by another fine crowd of 304 with absolutely nothing in the game entering the final few minutes. 

But the encounter turned at the very death in a pivotal few minutes. First, Hallam striker Jordan Turner went desperately close with a far post header after a terrific right-wing cross; then the Trojans raced up the other end for substitute Kurtis Morley to strike from close range after a goalmouth scramble.

Jake Currie struck a wonder goal, six minutes from time to preserve Hallam's long unbeaten run and rescue, what could be a crucial point for The Countrymen.
Hallam put out an unchanged eleven who started the gritty win at Dronfield on Saturday, as the match commenced at a fairly modest pace.

Eight minutes into the second half at Park Road last night, Hallam looked to have got their Toolstation NCEL Division One challenge up and running. They led home side Worsbrough Bridge 4-0 and were threatening to add to their tally. All that changed in the 53rd minute, however, as floodlight failure brought proceedings to a premature halt, and after a twenty minute delay, referee Jamie Cogill abandoned the game, triggering scenes of absolute relief in the home dressing room, write Ian Jones and Glenn Poulton, covering the game live for the Hallam FC Website.
