​The final game of 2024 for Heslerton Junior Football Club saw Heslerton Spiders welcome York Youth Football League Division Two rivals Wigginton Grasshoppers in the York FA Cup to Settrington.

​Wigginton are unbeaten this season with the Spiders, who have only lost one game, battling it out with them in Division Two, writes Steve Allardice.

Heslerton were quick out of the blocks not giving the visiting side time on the ball and soon found themselves a goal up as great work from Tommy Lindley teed up Alfie Marrington who stroked the ball home.
