Beckett League Division 2 leaders Fishermen pull clear after win at Slingsby

In one of only two Division Two outings Whitby Fishermen’s Society Development extended their lead at the summit with a 7-3 victory at Slingsby.

Goals in the first 45 minutes from Jay Jordan and Koby Craig set the visitors on their way but it would be the second period when the game really came to life as Jordan grabbed his second, shortly followed by goals from Ewan Locker and Sam Brown.

Coden Hansell made it six with the final quarter of an hour bringing a second for Brown. Gary Walker hit a hat-trick for the hosts in reply.

Sinnington won 6-3 at home to Ryedale.

A Jordan Anderson saw the Sinners lead until the hour mark when Ryedale’s newly-installed player-manager Ryan Boyes rose from the bench to draw the sides level.

The respite was short-lived however, as the Sinners hit back immediately, debutant Ethan Dale restoring their lead.

It was then the turn of the host player-manager as Luke Clemmit increased the advantage, only for Ryedale to respond through Harry Hattersley.

Cole Gayles responded for Sinners but straight from the restart Hattersley struck. Inside the final 10 minutes Clemmit would strike again, as would Anderson.

The only Division One action of the day saw Kirkdale United lose 6-1 to Wombleton Wanderers.

Harley Clarke gave Wanderers the lead inside the opening 10 minutes.

Though the hosts began to get their midfield game going Wombleton added a slightly fortuitous second when a piledriver of a ball by Keelan Simpson deflected off defender Euan Surgenor to wrong-foot keeper Josh Campbell-Carter and fly into the net.

In the opening minutes of the second period, Simpson fed Clarke, who had time to bring the ball down and control before finishing past Carter.

With just under an hour played Kirkdale gave themselves hope as Fraser Northcote-Coon fired home.

Kirkdale made changes, hoping to mount a fightback, but Luke Dawson added a brace of goals with sub David Thompson also on target.

Amotherby & Swinton striker George Pierson smashed in six goals as his side romped to a 12-4 home Victory Cup group stage win against Rosedale.

Oliver Towse added a brace, with Nathan Cross, Sam Flinton, Adam Stockell and Lee Timms also chipping in.

Along with an own goal there were consolations from Rosedale’s Andrew Milne, Sam Asquith and Alastair Wilkinson.

In the Right Car East Riding County League third division, AFC Eastfield lost 9-1 at AFC Tickton.

Eastfield man of the match Marcus Mockridge headed in to make it 4-1, but the hosts were too strong.

Filey Town were pegged back to a last-gasp 2-2 draw by hosts Hedon Rangers Reserves in the Premiership.
