For the first 45 minutes, I did wonder if my presence had brought Askern Villa a bit of luck, just like Leek CSOB last Saturday. They held a deserved half-time lead through Mike Braithwaite but visitors AFC Emley produced a strong second-half performance to claim the points. Danny Lyness, on his full debut, scored twice including the equaliser 34 seconds after the restart and Simon Asquith added the third.
