Filey started the game well and despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession lacked finesse in the final third and struggled to carve out any clear openings.

Heslerton looked dangerous on the break and Filey keeper Archie Thompson made two excellent saves to keep the scores level.

Thomas Richardson was the fox in the box for Filey’s opener. He latched onto a long through ball by Jasper North that evaded all of the Heslerton defence, before rounding the keeper and tapping into an empty net.

They finally hit a leveller when Filey failed to clear a long free-kick and the ball was fired home from close range.

The game was now on a knife edge, with both teams pushing for a winner.
