Steve Clegg’s Edgehill side took the lead after just five minutes when Mikey Barker latched onto Jackson Jowett’s ball in and finished neatly.

Filey grabbed a deserved point when sub Darren Clough scored direct from a corner.

Edgehill boss Clegg said: “The wind ruined the game, but a draw was probably a fair result.

“We hit the post and the bar in the second half, but Liam Giles made four or five great saves in the first half.”

As well as keeper Giles, Clegg singled out goalscorer Barker as his side’s standout performer.
