NORTH Ferriby made it three wins out of three over the festive season as they gained a deserved 3-2 home win over Blyth Spartans.

Ferriby’s joy was compounded by a defeat for second-placed Hednesford Town, who now trail the table-topping Villagers by seven points.

  1. Anthony Wilson

    Anthony Wilson scored twice for North Ferriby United.

Ferriby dominated the first half and should have been two or three goals ahead at the break, but Blyth keeper Conor Grant did well to hold a Dean Lisles header and got behind Gregg Anderson’s 20-yard drive.

The opening goal Ferriby deserved came after 20 minutes, with Liam King finding Ryan Williams and his ball allowed Ryan Kendall to cross to the far post for Anthony Wilson to head home.

Blyth equalised against the run of play after 29 minutes when a mix-up between Ferriby keeper Adam Nicklin and Anderson allowed Ryan McGorrigan to score.

Ferriby regained the lead after 53 minutes when Anderson scored with an overhead kick.

Ferriby continued to press and Kendall saw a header saved, before a third goal on 74 minutes. Nathan Peat’s long free-kick was chested down by Wilson, who turned to fire home a low shot.

To their credit, Blyth pulled a goal back after 82 minutes as McGorrigan added a second of the game.
