Brad-Lee Craggs shines as AFC Eastfield start new year with 6-3 win against Market Weighton Reserves

AFC Eastfield moved within two points of second place in the fourth division with a game in hand on Cross Keys after their victory over Market Weighton Reserves in the Right Car East Riding County Football League on Saturday.

Market Weighton Reserves were then awarded a penalty but Kian Drury saved his fourth penalty out of six this season.

The home side immediately went on the offensive and Brad-Lee Craggs slotted the ball home to open the score.
