Jos Storr nets four as Whitby Fishermen cruise into North Riding FA Cup semi-finals

Jake Faichney put the Fishermen in front on three minutes and they never looked back, Jack Kilpatrick and Jos Storr adding a goal apiece before the break.

The hosts ran riot in the second half, Jos Storr adding a fourth goal six minutes after the interval and Isaac Lockley notching a fifth just before the hour mark.

Subs Viachaslau Luksha and Noel Burton added a goal apiece for the rampant hosts, before a late brace from Jos Storr and a Cohen Rodgers effort wrapped up the comfortable win.

The Fishermen were joined by Marske United Reserves, Linthorpe Academicals and Richmond Town Reserves in the semi-finals.

In the NRFL Premier Division, Redcar Town Reserves v Fishburn Park and Staithes Athletic v Boro Rangers U21 both fell victim to the weather, as did the McMillan Bowl clash between Darlington RA and Lealholm.

Whitby Fishermen’s Society Development claimed a dramatic 5-4 penalty shoot-out win in the Newitts.com Beckett League Ryedale Hospital Cup second round at Amotherby & Swinton Reserves.

New signing David Thompson, recently of Division One Wombleton Wanderers, took less then the opening 15 minutes to score a treble for his new club.

Whitby however, have target men of their own as Koby Craig, Ewan Locker and Junior Chambers hit back before Andrew Metcalfe gave the hosts the lead at the interval.

Second period saw Locker level things up before Thompson hit his fourth and Amotherby’s fifth, however there was still time for Michael Kilpatrick to send the fixture to a penalty shoot-out decider which would see Fishermen victorious, Alex Croall missing the crucial spot-kick.

Division Two outfit Fishburn Park Academy suffered a tough lesson, losing 8-0 at Division One leaders West Pier, Declan Richardson leading the way with a hat-trick.

Danby’s Ryedale Hospital Cup game at home to Lealholm Reserves, and Goldsborough’s Division Two game against Ampleforth were both called off due to waterlogged pitches.
