Wombleton, Pier, Danby and Amotherby move into Hospital semis

Tuesday evening found Wombleton Wanderers visitors to Crayke as they faced fellow Division One side Kirkdale United in the Ryedale Hospital Cup.

After two recent defeats at the hands of United, Wombleton were out for revenge and did just that hitting six goals.

Danny Cates and Kyle Wren both found the net while Keelan Simpson and sub Dan Marshall hit a double apiece.

Liam Ward scored the Kirkdale consolation effort.

West Pier fared even better in their home tie against lower league Slingsby, though they got a very early scare as the visitors went ahead within 30 seconds through Oliver Dade.

Alas, that would be the high point for Slingsby as first Dec Richardson and then Benny Davis overturned the deficit.

Worse would follow as the visitors would lose two players in quick succession, one notably the keeper for handling outside the box.

Richardson then heaped more punishment on, scoring from the resultant free-kick before completing his hat-trick prior to half-time.

The second half saw Davis grab a fifth and after Slingsby had put into their own net Kasey Clegg came off the bench to hit the seventh.

Slingsby did find the back of Pier’s net on a second occasion as Rio Howden finished well.

More Hospital Cup action saw Amotherby & Swinton progress with victory at Bagby & Balk.

George Pierson gave the visitors a half-time lead before Nathan Cross fired in a second-half treble inside the final 15 minutes.

Rosedale hosted Heslerton in the opening round of The Trophy & Print Cup, and what an eventful evening it proved.

The visitors began the game with a mere nine men due to players work commitments though it looked like they had weathered an early storm in the opening 10 minutes.

That was until Alastair Wilkinson put the hosts ahead. Nevertheless, with a full 11 Heslerton soon drew level as Morgan Kendrew teed up Sam Besau to fire home the equaliser.

Rosedale then capitalised on poor Heslerton defending early in the second half to go ahead for a second time, James King heading home.

In a very open affair the Blues levelled again, Kendrew this time the provider for Matty Bean to score.

With less than 15 minutes remaining Heslerton took the lead as captain Olly Stanton played in Kendrew to fire in a fierce shot across six yards.

However, Rosedale’s never-say-die attitude came up trumps once more as Josh Butler was afforded far too much room to score and send the game to a penalty shootout.

Heslerton were the eventual victors as they converted all five spot-kicks, grateful to keeper Rich Gale who not only scored from 12 yards but saved impressively from Wilkinson.

Twenty-four hours later more drama unfolded across the moors as Danby welcomed Whitby Fishermen’s Society Development for more Hospital Cup football.

Division Two leaders Fishermen began sharpest and took an early lead through Jay Jordan.

Danby grew into the game and levelled through Kyle Clacherty.

The Division One outfit finished the half strongest taking a lead at the interval following a Jack Spark header.

In the second half the hosts were in the ascendancy for the most part, but missed chances then saw Whitby respond with an equaliser from Michael Kilpatrick.

With 10 minutes remaining Danby would then grab the eventual winner.

A low cross from youngster Rhys Mould found Harvey Clacherty at the far post to finish with ease.

Late drama saw a penalty awarded to the visitors, only for the spot-kick to be fired well over the bar.

Early Division Two action in the week had Fishermen’s Development fare much better as they recorded an incredible 10 at Fishburn Park Academy in the latest Whitby derby.

Elsewhere, Amotherby & Swinton Reserves lost 6-1 in their home tie with Goal Sports.

While more action over the moors saw Slingsby defeated at Lealholm Reserves by four goals without reply.
