Clough stars as Filey take cup win
Filey Town eased to a 4-1 win at Lealholm to make progress in the Harbour Cup.
Jordan Philliskirk’s Filey side were 1-0 up after Darren Clough was cynically pushed over in the box and the striker dusted himself down to fire in the resulting penalty from the spot.
It was soon 1-1 though after a Lealholm man rifled in a superb free-kick to level matters up.
Phil Dickens slammed in a bullet header before the break to hand his side the lead yet again, and the away side pulled away in the second half to seal a 4-1 win.
James Jenkinson’s backpost header made it 3-1 before Philliskirk’s precise throughball fed Ricky Tomlinson to fire in their fourth and wrap up the scoring for the victorious visitors.
Clough and Jenkinson shone for the victors but player-boss Philliskirk praised his side’s performance.
Scalby suffered a 7-0 hammering in their game at Beckett League Division Two side Sleights.
Chris Hannam impressed in a game to forget for Sam Medd’s side, who were outplayed by their Whitby-based hosts. Ayton v Edgehill and West Pier v Newlands were both postponed. Cayton were dumped out of the Junior Cup after losing 3-1 to Beckett League side Wombleton.
Harry Sleep scored Cayton’s solitary goal after lobbing the keeper, Shaun Rennison’s side going in level at 1-1 at the interval.
Damon Cook was the man of the match for Rennison’s side despite their defeat.
