Hessle played some neat football and opened the scoring on 10 minutes as loose marking at a free-kick let them in.

Tom MacDonald reduced the arrears midway through the half, curling a superb 25-yard free-kick into the top-corner to give the home side a lift.

Jack Rogers then had a goalbound effort blocked at close range, and this was to prove significant as Hessle restored their two-goal cushion just before half-time.

Playing against the wind and the hill, Scalby found the second half tough, but they stuck to their task.

Despite a deflected goal to make it 4-1, they continued to press forward and were rewarded with another goal, Luke Halliday opening his account for the club with a fine 20 yard finish after Lewis Tadman’s surging run was thwarted by the Hessle keeper.
