FOLLOWING their 3-1 win over Bury at Nethermoor on Saturday, Guiseley faced a sterner test in their second pre-season friendly against visitors Barnsley on Tuesday night.

Against Bury on a boiling hot afternoon the home support had a chance to familiarise themselves with a raft of new signings. Returning striker Jake Cassidy netted twice after an opener by Trialist A, a figure familiar to the home crowd.

On Tuesday night Guiseley got off to the best possible start as Trialist B in the number seven shirt picked the pocket of a Barnsley defender in the tenth minute and drew the 'keeper before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.

Both sides created a number of opportunities but it was not until the second-half that the visitors started to show the benefits of being a full-time outfit. They forced an equaliser on 63 minutes, with Jorge Sikora diverting the ball into his own net.

Kyle Trennery, who replaced Barrow loanee Scott Moloney for the second-half, made two good stops to deny Barnsley but he was eventually beaten on 78 minutes when Fabio Jalo wrapped it up for the visitors with a crisp finish from close in. The Tykes were knocking on the door having hit the bar twice in the second-half.

Guiseley: 1. Scott Moloney, 2. Jameel Ible, 3. George Smith (C), 4. Trialist A, 5. Danny Ellis, 6. Jorge Sikora, 7. Trialist B, 8. Ethan Cartwright, 9. Shaun Tuton, 10. Lewis Hey, 11. Trialist C.

Second-half subs: 12. Oliver Reape, 13. Kyle Trenerry, 14. John Johnston, 15. Harrison Leigh, 16. Luke Dean, 17. Lewis Gardner, 18. Trialist D, 19. Jakub Hebda, 20. Nat Crofts, 21. Adam Haw. 22. Foley Nkem (unused).
