Edgehill’s unbeaten record halted by Wigginton in cup thriller

With both teams undefeated in their respective leagues this was always going to be a close game.

Wigginton took an early lead with a nice strike from the edge of the box which keeper Martin Cappleman got a hand to, but the power took it into the top corner of the net.

Right Car East Riding County League Premiership leaders Edgehill hit back straight away when skipper Kieran Link was fouled in the box, the ref awarded a penalty-kick and Billy Logan found the bottom corner.

The game was 1-1 at half-time in a very tight game, with both teams evenly matched.

In the second half both teams were showing great work-rate and very good defensive performances nobody was giving anything away.

On the hour mark Wigginton took the lead.

A low powerful shot from 20 yards unfortunately went under keeper Cappleman to give the home team the lead.

With Edgehill pressing on Wigginton stretched their lead to 3-1 on the counter-attack late on.

With the game looking over Josh Greening excellently scored with a volley on 85 minutes.

In injury-time Greening was put through and scored again which seemed like a perfectly good goal.

However the ref - to the bemusement of both teams gave offside and the goal was ruled out.

Wigginton advance to the next round with the Edgehill lads feeling hard done by.

Lloyd Henderson had a solid game and was given man of the match, 16-year-old Riley Cooper also did very well, and a mention should also go to 17-year-old Louis Battye, who did well on his debut.

Edgehill will look to bounce back with a win at East Riding Rangers in the League Senior Cup this coming Saturday.

Filey Town earned a 1-0 triumph at North Ferriby Reserves in the Premiership.

James Jenkinson was on target for Town, who head to Championship leaders Seamer Sports in the League Senior Cup on Saturday.
