Garforth Town put on an impressive display last night against League One side Hartlepool United to earn their first pre-season victory at the Genix Healthcare Stadium.
In an exciting pre-season encounter Town put their professional opponents under pressure from the first whistle, surviving a couple of early scares before creating opportunities of their own through passing flowing moves predominantly involving Oliver Hotchkiss, Paul Walker and Chibuzor Chilakor.
After crashing an effort on 16 minutes against the crossbar, Chilakor opened the scoring on 24 minutes unleashing an unstoppable half volley after a Walker headed layoff.
Town took a 1-0 lead into half time looking to build on a solid yet creative first half performance and started well in the second half dominating the early possession and mounting pressure on the Hartlepool penalty area.

Garforth Town FC 3 v Guiseley FC 4

After a fine first half display Garforth Town FC narrowly lost out to the newly promoted Conference North side by the odd goal.
Town started strongly controlling possession and creating a number of early chances with a number of trialists fitting into the side and showing their worth.
Three goals within the first half hour from Chris Fisher, and two from Chib opened up an early lead for The Miners before a superb James Walshaw freekick pegged the score back to 3-1 at the half-way stage.
After a number of changes to both sides Guiseley gained the upper hand in the second half with Walshaw completing his hattrick and Tom Penford notching the winner.

Garforth manager Steve Nichol was pleased with the performance "Tonight we played some very good football we created lots of chances and the possession and passing between players who have only recently come together was very positive. It is a concern that we conceeded so many goals but that can often happen in friendlies when you start to make changes to look at different players, it changes the pattern of the game. Last season the goals against was too high and we will be working on tightening our defence up over the coming weeks."
Next week Garforth Town host Hartlepool United on Tuesday night (KO 7.45pm) and Leeds Met on Saturday afternoon (KO 3pm) both at The Genix Healthcare Stadium.

The draws for the FA Cup and FA Trophy are now out with Garforth Town FC facing the winner of West Allotment Celtic or Tadcaster Albion in the FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday 28th August at The Genix Healthcare Stadium. The potential local tie against Tadcaster Albion is a fantastic draw for Town with many of the fans reminiscing of the record breaking attendance match between the two sides in 2004 when Brazilian legend Socrates featured for The Miners.
In the FA Trophy Garforth have difficult tie against fellow Evo-Stik side Leigh Genesis away on Saturday 2nd October. The two sides played twice in the league last season with Leigh running out the victors on both occasions so Town will be looking to reverse the tide this season to progress on a cup run.
