AFC Eastfield sink West Pier in seven-goal thriller to move into first cup final

​AFC Eastfield progressed to their first final in the Scarborough FA Junior Cup after a thrilling 4-3 win in their encounter against West Pier.

The hosts took a 2-0 lead, however, Darren Clough pulled one back just before half-time. It looked as though Eastfield were running out of time until Chris Sowray equalised in the 90th minute.
