Dec fires Beckett League leaders West Pier to win against Danby

Richardson would be hero and villain, seeing red during the second half following two yellow card offences for Pier, who are now on the verge of clinching the title.

Amotherby & Swinton welcomed Kirkdale United and the visitors took a first-half lead through a double from Liam Ward.

George Pierson halved the deficit for the hosts but into the second period and 17-year-old Ward completed his hat-trick before Will Pepler and Alfie Bowsher added to the Kirkdale score.

The final game in the Victory Cup Group stages saw a depleted Heslerton travel to face Wombleton Wanderers on the new Ryedale School 3G.

The visitors gave a first-team debut to 17-year-old development player Lewis Drabble and the youngster gave himself and his side a dream start inside the opening 10 minutes, finishing off a slick move from Sam Besau.

The Blues positive star would be short-lived however as Wombleton drew level within eight minutes.

Wanderers then grabbed a lead which they increased three times more before the interval.

The second half began no better for the visitors as Wombleton went further ahead courtesy of an own goal.

And though Heslerton saw an effort cannon off a Wanderers post, the hosts then went up the other end to score a seventh.

On the hour mark the ever influential Morgan Kendrew began and finished a move to score low to the keeper’s left.

However the final 30 minutes brought four more for Wombleton with no more reply from Heslerton.

Keelan Simpson, Luke McClaren, Harley Clarke and Jake Dennison were some among those on target as Wombleton won 11-2 and joined West Pier, Amotherby & Swinton and Kirkdale United in the semi-finals.

At the summit of Division Two, Whitby Fishermen’s Academy improved their goal difference as they hit 11 past visiting Amotherby & Swinton Reserves.

Koby Craig, Harry Smith, Kieran Wade, Rhys Kipling, Jack Kelly, Sam Brown and Adam Warrilow hit the back of the net on numerous occasions.

Second-placed Lealholm Reserves were three goals to the good at the interval at hosts Heslerton Development, adding a further brace in the second period.

Slingsby also led by three at the halfway stage in their home tie against Goal Sports.

Oliver Dade, Shaun Howden and then Rio Howden were on target for the hosts.

Second half saw a fightback for the visitors with Brad Cawkwell finding the net, but his second in added on time was a mere consolation.

Ampleforth faced Bagby & Balk on the Malton 3G, their home territory deemed unplayable.

Ted Bramall-Smith got Amp off to a great start, but thus followed the afternoon belonged to Bagby.

Dan Dobson and Louis Chapman both hit trebles, with David Cocks, Jake Duncalf and Ben Rushworth chipping in to make it nine.

Goldsborough romped to a 4-0 win in their derby match on the road at Fishburn Park Academy.

Simon Taylor, Ben Duell, Connor McCormick and sub Luca Clasper netted for Boro.
