Villagers sit in top 10 after Hallam draw

NORTH Ferriby head into the festive period having shared the spoils in South Yorkshire following a 2-2 draw at Sandygate against Hallam F

- 

Josh Thacker saw his tally for the season move to six, whilst Lewis Dennison's peach of a strike lit up a four-goal thriller that keeps Ferriby inside the top ten.

As expected, the villagers began well as Josh Dennett fired one of his trademark throws deep into opposition territory, with the Countrymen fending the ball away.

Ferriby continued their initial tempo and came even closer after 10 minutes, as a headed effort sailed the wrong side of the woodwork from a Dennett cross.

Despite a solid start, Ferriby found themselves behind after 12 minutes after Brandon Bradbury's bicycle kick forced the Countrymen into an early lead.
