Leaders Whitby Fishermen beat Slingsby in 10-goal thriller

Three goals in the opening half from Koby Craig, Jay Jordan and Ewan Locker were followed up in the second 45 minutes with strikes from Jack Kelly, a second for Jordan and sub Adam Warrilow signing off with the sixth.

Second-placed Lealholm Reserves went into a 2-0 first-half lead as Jay Kilpatrick and then John Ventress found the back of the Goldsborough net.

Phil Spencer and Ben Watson scored second-half goals for Boro but sub Sam Russell completed the scoring for Lealholm with the winning finish.

On Malton Sports Centre’s artificial pitch Amotherby & Swinton Reserves won 4-1 against Fishburn Park Academy.

The first half produced only one goal, Tom Davies giving the hosts the lead.

Further efforts in the second period from Mikey Brown, Andy Metcalfe and David Thompson put the game well out of reach of the visitors with Mitchell Humble the only scorer for Fishburn.

Goal Sports looked to take advantage of their games in hand with a surge up the table as they hosted Bagby & Balk, also on the Malton 3G.

Bagby had different ideas as David Cocks pounced to give the visitors the lead just after the half-hour mark.

Midway through the second period, sub Kyle Pounder doubled the advantage with Ben Rushworth adding a third.

With less than five minutes remaining Brad Cawkwell would hit Goal Sports solitary goal.

There was somewhat of a derby atmosphere as Ryedale welcomed nearby Sinnington and things couldn’t have got off to a better start for the hosts as Sam Hill scored inside the opening 10 minutes.

However, a foul inside 18 yards on Sinners captain Aidan Taylor saw the player pick himself up to level from the penalty spot.

Moments later Jack Vincent was also up-ended only for Ryedale’s veteran keeper Harry Reed to this time save with his legs.

Into the second half and Vincent would score on the hour with Taylor then grabbing a third for Sinners.

Ryedale hit back with 10 minutes left on the clock through Chris Rhodes before Charlie Hancock made sure for the visitors with a stoppage-time effort.

Heslerton’s Development side took an early lead in their home fixture against visitors Ampleforth, 16-year-old Alfie Kendrew grabbing his first for the club.

Alfie Nichols then equalised for Ampleforth before the interval.

The second half began with visiting danger man Jack Simpson fouled by host keeper Simon Clark, the Ampleforth man dusting himself down to convert the ball from 12 yards.

Heslerton however, with a renewed belief, found an equaliser through Lewis Tillotson, only then to be thwarted as Simpson restored his side’s advantage with a fine individual finish from 25 yards.

Not deterred the hosts continued to press with optimism and they would level again, this time Dave Philips firing home through a crowded 18 yards.

With less than five minutes remaining the game would produce a winner, as Nichols scored his second and Ampleforth’s fourth to take maximum points from Sand Lane.

Division One leaders West Pier welcomed neighbours Snainton to Sherburn sports field and took an early lead through their prolific striker Declan Richardson.

John Grayston doubled the advantage for the hosts prior to half-time with Richardson completing yet another hat-trick with two more goals in the second period.

The villagers grabbed a mere consolation effort through Owen I’Anson.

Second-placed Wombleton Wanderers met Amotherby & Swinton on the new artificial facility at Ryedale School.

Thomas Eddery gave the home side the lead as he stole in at the far post, Luke Dawson then increased the advantage.

Amotherby hit back, as first Luke Scott, and then Dan Charters levelled the tie going into the interval.

The second half saw Dan Marshall restore the lead for Wanderers before fine play from George Pierson resulted in Matty Webster finishing superbly from just inside the box to equalise.

Marshall had the final say as he hit a late winner for Wombleton.
