Match Reports from 2nd February 2013

2^nd February 2013

 

Wigginton maintained their challenge on Dunnington in the York Minster Engineering Premier League as they inflicted a first away defeat in 16 games upon their visitors Terrington Glory. Poor finishing in front of goal cost the visitors dearly in the first period as they squandered three gilt-edged goal scoring opportunities which would have seen them well in control at the break and the hosts capitalised in the second half as Dale Holding scored the only goal of the game after Stuart Wright set-up the chance.   

 

Dunnington had little difficulty in extending their unbeaten run to 21 games as they comfortably beat York RI 8-0. Jimmy Wilmoth led the rout with his second hat-trick of the season to add to strikes from Alex Lowe, Tom Richards, Stewart Lee , Luke Dove and scoring for the fourth game on the trot Scott Sullivan.

 

Easingwold collected three very useful points from their trip to Hamilton Panthers as they defeated Panthers 4-1. Andrew Metcalfe (Jnr) hit their opener with George Kirk doubling their advantage before the break, Olly Newby pulled a goal back for the hosts before Dave Adams and James Moverley hit late goals to seal the victory.

 

Selby RSSC and Poppleton remain in the bottom three after both sides failed to record their first home win of the season. An own goal and a Chris Storey strike saw Poppleton concede two early goals in the space of ten minutes in their home encounter with Copmanthorpe and though Joe Dale halved the deficit in the second half Robin Bedford hit Cop’s third with Nick Moss getting a late second  goal for Pop.  A Dave Watson double saw Dringhouses taking an early lead at Selby before Shane Caukill pulled a goal back for the Selby side but Watson completed his ‘trick in the second half to add to a Wayne Carter goal as Dringhouses won 4-1.

Jon Newton scored all three Old Malton goals as the Ryedale side beat York St John s 3-0.   

 

Only two games were played In Division One but Total Sports took the opportunity to jump into second place in the table after they defeated Haxby 4-1. Ben Brannigan scored twice in the opening half to set up the win with Will Wood and Dan Walton increasing their lead before Kieran Harris hit a consolation goal for Haxby. Tockwith eased their relegation worries slightly as they chalked up their first double of the season as they defeated Pocklington 2-0 for the second time this season. After a goalless opening hour Andy Wilson headed Tockwith in front before Chris Walker confirmed the win five minutes from time. Pocklington have now failed to register a victory over Tockwith in their last ten league meetings.       

 

 

Strensall enhanced their promotion hopes in Division Two after their 2-0 win in a mediocre game at Heslington. The two bright spots of the game were the quality of the goals, the precise free kick from Liam Winfield and the unstoppable volley from Nick Fenton

 

A second hat-trick in as many games for Ben Jones helped Bishopthorpe to a 4-1 win over Cliffe and climb away from the relegation zone, Paul Galdas completed the scoring for Bish with Nathan Parker replying for Cliffe. 

 

In Division Three,  F1 Racing,  extended their unbeaten home run to 12 games after they beat promotion rivals Civil Service 4-2. Neil Yeowart celebrated his 400^th league game for the club by opening the scoring with Ross Howard adding a second for the hosts before the break. The visitors responded in the second period with a Gareth Inness goal before Rich Proctor and George Trifan -  scoring for the tenth game on the trot – put the game beyond the visitors before Inness converted a penalty with the last kick of the game. Crayke and Sporting Knavesmire have accumulated 9 drawn games between them from only 16 fixtures played this season so when the two sides clashed it was almost inevitable that they would draw. At the break Sporting led with goals from Dan Smith, Tom Williams and Andrew Simpson and would not believe that they were heading for their fourth draw in their last five games but the hosts who have three previous 3-3 draws this season made it number four with second half goals from Tom Hilling, Dan Smith and Cory Wincut. Nigel Croad marked his Selby Olympia debut by scoring twice and helping his new team register their first home win of the season as they defeated Huby 5-1, Darren Pool, Craig Walton and an own goal made up the Selby goals with Tom Horner replying for Huby.

 

The top-of-the-table-clash in Division Four went in favour of league leaders York Acorn who have now opened up a 12 point lead over beaten rivals Tadcaster Town. Leigh Dutton hit a brace for the Acorns to add to Wilson Briggs goal as Acorns are unbeaten in 13 while Tadcaster Town suffered their first defeat of the season.  LNER Builders came from a goal down at home to Melbourne to take all three points, the Divisions leading goal scorer,  Sam Hill cancelled out Mathew Underwood’s opener for Melbourne before  Dean Machin  and Craig Dinsdale secured a 3-1 win. Callum Rowe-Dixon hit both Selby Town Res goals in their 2-1 win at Huntington. Moor Lane’s James Shaw hit the first and last goal of the game in their encounter with Wheldrake but in between the visitors responded with goals from Ben Feathers (2),  George Ledley, Ben Pachesa, Jason McCloud, John Scott and Oliver Butterfield as Wheldrake won 7-2.

 

Of the four matches played in Reserve A, three of the games finished 2-2, the exception been the 10-2 hammering of Hamilton Panthers by Dringhouses.  Sam Kitson, Mitch Carter and Tom Hawksby all hit a treble for ‘houses to add to a Dan Clipson effort. Haxby recorded their first away draw in 18 games as they shared the points with Copmanthorpe, Jason Kelly and an own goal were credited with the Haxby goals, their last draw was in March 2011 when they drew at Copmanthorpe. Lee Bunce scored twice in the first half for Huntington but hosts Riccall prevented a sixth straight defeat with a goal in each half from Will Ramsey.  York RI and Old Malton drew 2-2, Danny Cates and Dave Clarke shared RI goals while Richard Cass and Jack Thackray did likewise for Old Malton. It was RI first home draw since they shared the points with Malton & Norton in a Reserve C game in April 2011.

 

The top two sides in Reserve B both recorded home wins, Andrew Metcalfe (Snr) scored twice  to add to Jordan Green’s opening goal as second placed Easingwold beat Tadcaster 3-0 while leaders White Horse defeated Amotherby & Swinton despite twice falling behind. Kyle Hesling cancelled out Matty Bean’s opener for Amotherby and then did the same after Adam Grey had restored Amotherby’s lead before Stephen Wragg ensured that the Church Fenton sides unbeaten run extended into double figures when he hit what proved to be their winner in the final twenty minutes. Tom Milner hit the only goal of the game as Aviva recorded their first home win of the season as they beat Bishopthorpe 1-0.

 

Reserve C leaders Malton & Norton dropped their first home points of the campaign after they drew 1-1 with Stamford Bridge. Brandon Read gave the hosts the lead but Kevin Smith equalised early in the second half. Byrom Summers converted a first half penalty to give his Thorpe side the lead at Rowntrees but two goals in two minutes from Cart Thompson swung the game in favour of the hosts. Daniel Thompson and Dale Phillips extended Rowntrees lead further before Thompson completed hid hat-trick as Rowntrees won 5-2, Richard Lane hit a late consolation goal for Thorpe. Wilberfoss’s fight to avoid a third consecutive relegation is appearing to gain momentum as they chalked up back-to-back wins for the first time in almost three years as they followed up their win over Stamford Bridge with a 3-1 home win over Poppleton. James Parkin put Foss in front before Jim Gledhill levelled for Pop but second half goals from Jonathon Parkin and James Haughian secured the win. 

 

Crayke maintained their unbeaten run this season as the Reserve D leaders won 3-0 at Bishop Wilton, Oliver Everhard, Rob Gaultry and Luke Bilham hit their goals and F1 Racing improved their goal difference as they thrashed Huby 11-0 with their tally shared between  Jorge Garcia, a brace for  Craig Hardcastle  a hat-trick for Mark Foster and Dan Cooper hitting the other five.
