Saturday League: Newlands and Edgehill suffer cup defeats

Newlands Park and Edgehill both suffered defeats in the Scarborough & District FA Harbour Cup first round, losing 4-2 at home to Filey Town and 2-0 at West Pier respectively.

Filey opened the scoring through a Liam Barnes free-kick three minutes before half-time, although Park boss Shaun Mancrief believed that Barnes should have been sent off for a foul when he was last man earlier in the half, but was shown a yellow card instead.

The visitors soon made it 2-0 when a Ryan Baldry throw was flicked on by Barnes to Ben Briggs, who fired the ball in.

Park, who were without a host of first-choice players and included seven who were reserve-teamers last season, refused to submit and halved the deficit through Danny Jenkinson a minute before half-time.

Barnes was shown a second yellow card two minutes into the second half, but despite going down to 10 men, further goals from James Pinder and Phil Dickens made it 4-1 by the hour mark, although Park’s man of the match, centre-back Matty Griffiths scored a spot-kick to give the hosts hope.

The away team’s defence battled well to withstand a sustained spell of pressure from Newlands to book their spot in the second round.

West Pier earned a 2-0 home win against Edgehill thanks to a double from Neil Thomas.

Sam Garnett and Luke Delve were the joint men of the match for Andy Spivey’s side.

Seamer Sports kick-started their season with a 6-2 win at second division high-flyers Scalby.

Paddy Parke’s side had the better of the opening exchanges but a string of fine saves from the hosts’ man of the match, keeper Tom Manson, maintained a clean sheet, and when skipper Rich Brice broke free to put Scalby ahead, Parke was once again fearing the worst.

Matty Forsyth levelled the scores with a spot-kick, then the goal of the game, a scorching first-time volley from Matt Sheader, put the visitors in front at the interval.

Dan Jewitt made it 3-1 early in the second half, and although a Rich Simpson penalty brought Scalby back to within a goal, Seamer pulled away thanks to sub Gaz Lawton setting Forsyth up for his second and the latter then completed his hat-trick, wing-back Dan Bradbury wrapping up the scoring for Seamer. Parke hailed his team as the winners of the man of the match for a great overall effort.

Ayton cruised to a 4-0 home win against third division Tennyson, with Dan Peel and Paul Oldroyd scoring a brace apiece.

United pulled a goal back after a defensive mix-up and only a fine block by defender Tom Tate stopped Hunmanby levelling the scores. This proved crucial as from the clearance the ball broke free for man of the match Foxton to wrap up his hat-trick and restore Ryedale’s two-goal lead.

Less than a minute after the leveller, Jack Worthy was forced to leave the field with a suspected broken nose, allowing Sean Pinder to make his first appearance for Newlands this season after re-signing from Athletico2B, slotting into central midfield.

A minute later central midfielder Adam North, put Duchess ahead again.

Liam Scott’s header put the visitors ahead early on, but a Steve McGill levelled the scores only for a second Scott header to make it 2-1 to Andy Adamson’s side.

The game was then held up for 25 minutes due to a serious knee injury to the Sherburn centre-forward James Fletcher, Adamson having to climb off the bench to play up front, and he made a rapid impact scoring his side’s third, again with a header.

Sixteen-year-old Harry Walmsley capped a man of the match display with his side’s fourth headed goal to put the visitors in the driving seat.

When Scott stepped up to take a penalty on the hour mark the game seemed to be safe, but the home keeper saved the spot-kick to deny him his hat-trick and this seemed to spark Sleights into life.

Dan Wilson’s penalty gave the home side hope and then late strikes from close range by Mike Brennan and Simon Taylor salvaged a point for the home side who had Richard Davies on top form.
