Even though it was a Saturday, most non-league footballers had the day off, so choice was limited. Garforth gave a definately 'on' when I phoned them so headed there, even though I'm back in the area tomorrow for a late Christmas family gathering. No goals in an average first half which Garforth dominated. The second half was far more pulsating with Garforth taking the lead in the 65th minute and Durham levelling in the 80th minute. Both scorers were substitutes who netted within minutes of taking the field. All in all, an enjoyable day at a friendly club.Garforth Town (yellow/blue/white): 1. Ben Higginson, 2.
