NORTH Ferriby will have to overcome a 2-0 deficit if they are to reach the Conference North play-off final.
Goals in both halves from Adam Boyes and Oli Johnson gave Guiseley a handsome advantage to take to the Eon Visual Media Stadium for the second leg on Saturday.
Ferriby were below the high standards they have set for themselves and they looked tired.
This was their 56th game of a long and arduous season which is in danger of petering out.
The semi-final battle is far from over, but Ferriby know they have a lot of improving to do on tonight's performance if they are to host the play-off final.
