Newby hang on to see off Wasps in nine-goal thriller

Newby held on to see off visitors Westover Wasps 5-4 in a wind-affected Scarborough and District Saturday Football League match on Wednesday night.

The hosts raced into a 5-0 lead at the break through goals from Brendan McGarry (2), Adam Martin, Cal Andrews and Lucas Cooper with the wind at their backs.

Newby were forced to hang on in the second half as Wasps player-manager Zac Hansen hit a hat-trick and Ryan Matson added one from the bench.

Newby missed a host of chances, including Josh Hare hitting the post with a shot at 5-1.

Newby’s men of the match were Sam Hampton and Adam Martin.

Seamer surged to a 6-3 win at West Pier.

Harley Adams and Sam Ward scored two apiece, with Jensen Bradbury and Lucas Hastie also on target for the visitors.

Will Jenkinson, Paul Provins and Harley Thornton replied for Pier.

Fishburn Park powered to an excellent 8-2 home success against Great Ayton in the North Riding Football League Premier Division on Saturday.

Rhys Kipling led the way with four goals for the home side, with Nathan Storr adding a brace, with Theo Clarke and Charlie Smith also on target for Fishburn.

Kipling was also named as the man of the match for hosts

Lealholm worked hard for a goalless draw at home to TIBS on Saturday.

Lealholm claimed a 5-3 home win against St Mary’s 1947 on Wednesday night.

An own goal from St Mary’s put the hosts in front on 17 minutes, and three minutes later Carl Gray doubled their advantage.

Sam Spenceley added a third for the hosts on 33 minutes and a Brad Lewis effort just two minutes later wrapped up the three points for the villagers.

Five minutes before the interval the visitors reduced the deficit, but only two minutes into the second half Aaron Dale restored the four-goal lead for Lealholm.

St Mary’s put in a strong shift in the second half and scored another two goals in the 60th and 87th minutes but Lealholm had already secured the win by that point.
