Scarborough Saturday League: Newlands land title blow against rivals Rovers

Goals in either half from striker Liam Salt sealed the huge win for Paddy Mancrief’s Newlands side, who moved five points clear at the top of the table after their victory.

Boss Mancrief handed the man of the match honours to Dan Freer, who suffered a nasty eye injury but battled on regardless.

Rovers boss Jordan Lee was far from impressed with his under-par outfit.

Newlands’ title hopes were further boosted after Edgehill were held to a 1-1 draw by Hunmanby United.

Leigh Franks’ United side went in at the break a goal to the good, Chris Duley firing his side into the lead from a corner.

Edgehill sealed a point in the second half thanks to Joe Gallagher’s penalty.

United were reduced to 10 men when Lalan Flynn was shown a red card.

Franks said: “All the lads were fantastic.”

Scalby boosted their chances of beating the drop with a 4-1 win at home against Filey Town at Carr Lane.

Division Two champions Edgehill Reserves battled back to beat Snainton 4-2.

Snainton took the lead after good work from Liam Mintoft, who then crossed in to Connor Bell to tap home for 1-0.

Winger Reuben Staveley got the equaliser for Alec Coulson’s men, lashing home just before half-time.

Snainton then claimed the lead once again through a free header from Aidan McCallion.

Edgehill defender Connor Avison then found himself up front and he showed great composure when he slotted under the Snainton’s advancing stand-in keeper Leigh Watson.

Champs Edgehill went ahead for the first time in the contest when striker Jake Moore turned neatly and smashed home from close range.

It was soon 4-2 when Matty Rowley stepped up stroked a free-kick home.

Man of match was winger Staveley with keeper Freddie White also impressing for the victors, who were presented with the Division Two shield afterwards.

Seamer Reserves raced to a superb 5-1 victory on the road at FC Rosette.

It was soon 3-0, Stubbings hitting his second.

Jenson Bradbury made it 4-0 before Rosette hit back through Si MacDonald, but the scoring was wrapped up by Cam Greatorex for Seamer.

Callum Webster shone for victors while goalscorer MacDonald and Luke Foster impressed for Rosette.
