Whitby Fishermen’s Society work hard for cup win at New Marske
Whitby Fishermen’s Society striker Jake Faichney sparkled as his team earned a 3-2 victory at New Marske in the NRCFA Saturday Challenge Cup.
Marske took an early lead but Fishermen’s soon responded after Jake Faichney was awarded a penalty, Jack Kilpatrick making no mistake from the spot.
On 30 minutes Faichney put Fishermen’s ahead after taking advantage of a loose ball from the Marske defence leaving him one versus one with the Marske keeper and fired the visiting team into the lead.
Into the second half Marske equalised, but 10 minutes from time Faichney scored his second, a sliding strike at the back post, to put Fishermen’s into the hat for the next round.
Lealholm boosted their NRFL Premier title push with a 3-0 derby win at Staithes.
Brad Lewis put the Tigers in front on 30 minutes and three minutes into the second half Calum Ripley doubled the lead. The win was sealed by sub Sam Bernard’s 71st-munte effort.
