RyhopeCWcreatedhistoryin fabulous style, demolishing Harrogate Railway Athletic 10-1 on Saturday to reach the second round of the FA Vase for the first time.
Gary Pearson and Stu Gooden’s men turned on the style to mark a memorable moment in the club’s 125th anniversary season.
Ryhope never looked back after their bright start was rewarded by a 10th-minute Kyle Davis penalty.
Two goals in two minutes from James Ellis, just before the half-hour mark, all but killed the tie. Ellis doubled the advantage then made it three with a trademark leftfooted strike from range.
It was soon 4-0 as Josh Home-Jackson’s clinical finish, from a Davis pass, extended the lead, though Albert Ibrahimi gave the visitors a lifeline by the break.
Two goals in the first seven minutes of the second half sealed the deal, as HomeJackson fired high into the net and Ellis completed his hat-trick for 6-1.
Home-Jackson was next to seal his treble, set up by Matty Weirs with 20 minutes to play.
But Ryhope were still not finished and three more goals in a five-minute spell had Harrogate reeling, with Home-Jackson nodding in a Davis cross for his fourth of the day, ever-reliable leftback Davie Gordon cutting in to smash home a fierce shot and Corey Nicholson’s cross somehow ending up in the back of the net.
