Eastfield United were unlucky to lose out 2-1 at Three Fiddles.

In a tough game against a very physical side United went 2-0 down with two headed goals either side of half-time.

United did pull a goal back with 18 minutes to go with a sublime chip from 20 yards by player-manager Chris Milburn, after a fantastic through-ball from Luke Kirby.

But unfortunately, however much United pressed at the end, they couldn't find the equaliser.

Goal Sports replied with an own goal and a Jack Gibson effort, with man of the match Tham Dridi putting in a strong performance for a depleted home side.

Newlands powered to a 12-2 win at home to a weakened Cayton Corinthians, who did not have any subs.

Cayton opened the scoring through Brad Atkinson, and although Newlands levelled through Zac Hansen, Shaun Dolan then missed a great opportunity to put Cayton 2-1 up but a quick counter and keeper error let Newlands go 2-1 up and take control, and they romped home from that point on.

Man of the match Christopher Pearson scored four for Newlands, Ry Link hitting a hat-trick, Rob Whitehead scoring twice and George Wilson and Jack Hakings also notching.

The pick of the goals were a lob from an acute angle by Link and a scissors kick from Whitehead. Dolan scored Cayton's second goal before the interval.

Cayton boss Steven Frederiksen said: "Nicko Dunn and Scott Davison were men of the match in the middle of the park, but it would be wrong to ignore the efforts of the whole team that turned up and did what they could for 90 minutes against strong opposition."

Filey Flyers earned a 4-1 win at Roscoes Bar.

Flyers went in front when neat link-up play between Sam Foy and Nathan Barber saw Foy unselfishly square the ball for Barber to slot home.

Then Ry Herrington set up Foy for the second, then David Brannan played a quality ball over the top for Barber's second.
