Turner and Hall fire Eastway into last four

Eastway Sports moved into the semi-finals of the Trophy Trader League Trophy after edging a 2-1 win at Sherburn.

The sides were locked at 0-0 heading into the break, despite both teams having chances to break the deadlock.

Steve Parker was unlucky not to find the net for the hosts, but his header from a free-kick struck the post and rolled away to safety.

Sherburn also had an ef- fort hacked off the line, while Eastway were also dangerous on the break.

The away side took the lead one minute after the interval, Joe Turner’s effort fortuitously looping into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

Sherburn keeper Shaun Dolan had to be at his best to deny Eric Hall, but then the hosts levelled up when sub Gary Tyson neatly directed a header from eight yards after latching onto a long ball over the top.

Eastway weren’t to be denied though and hit back to take the lead yet again with 80 minutes on the clock.

Man of the match Tom Fennell flew forward from rightback and whipped in a superb cross for Hall to lash into the top corner on the half-volley and send Eastway into the semi-finals.

Fennell was in superb form for the victors, while Hall took his goal well to seal the victory.

Right-back Stu Pickard was star man for defeated Sherburn.

Their manager Andy Adamson said: “I thought we deserved to take it into extratime, but we didn’t take our chances.”
