8^th April 2013

Tadcaster Magnets moved within a point of the Division Two leaders Osbaldwick after they notched up their 7^th unbeaten game with a 2-1 win at Cliffe despite trailing to a Wes Pears goal at the interval.

The top two sides in Reserve A both won, leaders Wigginton managed a first win at Huntington since March 2008 after they conceded an early goal to their hosts from Nicke Rakocevic. A long range effort from Danny Lamb levelled the scores before the break and in the second half Ben Thompson and a second of the game for Lamb sealed only their second victory over Huntington in their previous eleven meetings. Second placed Dunnington needed a last minute free kick to ensure maximum points from their trip to Riccall, the defending Champions went behind to a Liam Brown goal but eventually won 2-1, a result which relegates Riccall.       

Having conceded five goals in each of their last two games York RI were determined to finish the season on a high and their 2-0 win at Dringhouses was just the result they required.

It was a first home defeat of the year for Dringhouses as they conceded second half goals to Collen Cummings and Danny Cates.

 

Fulford FC moved within a point of the promotion places in Reserve B as they kept their third consecutive clean-sheet  at home following their 5-0 win over Bishopthorpe with all the goals coming in the second half. Fulford’s nap hand was shared between Ben Bailey (2) Shane Smith, Adam Lewis and Sam Pepper.  Pocklington Town assured themselves of a top four finish as they beat York St Johns 5-3, Paul Young, Mike Stacey and Nick Daniels all scored in the opening half  before Stu Barker made it 4-0,  at which point the Students then responded with goals from Lee Winslow (2) and Chris Walker before John Parsons netted in the final minute to seal the win.

 

Wheldrake recorded their first draw of the season in Reserve D as they shared the spoils with Tadcaster Town in a 2-2 draw, James Walton and George Pethulis were on target for Wheldrake.
