Trafalgar Reserves successive division

-

Traf were handed the title as West Riding, the only team who could catch them, suffered a 4-2 home loss against Fylingdale­s Reserves.

Al Wray banged in a hattrick for Traf, while Jamie Wray, player - boss Andy Noon, Taylor Jordan and Jordan Aitken, from the penalty spot, completed the comfortabl­e win for the visitors.

Traf have now won 17 games and only l ost two i n the league, and Noon is hoping his side can cap their title win with a home success against Riding on Sunday March 22, gaining revenge for their def eat at the hands of James Prethero’s team last weekend in the Goalsports Trophy.

Fylingdale s Reserves came back from 2-0 down to claim the win at West Riding, the hosts finishing the game with 10 men due to a knee injury suffered by Mark Wade.

The village club were on top in the first half and only a string of fine saves from Riding player-manager Prethero kept Fylingdale­s at bay, and Jack South then scored for the home side to give them a slender half-time lead.

James Burrows, who is Riding’s first-choice keeper but was forced to play outfield, made it 2-0 with a cracking finish.

This seemed to spark Fylingdale­s into life and they pulled a goal back through Dave Smith, and when Wade was forced off through injury, reducing the hosts to 10 men, the villagers romped into a 4-2 lead through a Ben Thompson brace and a Jake Faichney penalty.

Man of the match for Fylingdale­s was central midfielder Josh Hopley.

Heslerton surged into third spot thanks to a 7-2 home win against fellow high-flyers

Cayton Corinthian­s.

Man of the match Dan Blanchard smashed in four goals for the victors, with Gareth Driver, Mikey Clarke and Tom Peel also netting for Dean Storry’s side. Right- winger Josh Hunter, 17, had an impressive game for the home side.
