Saturday 30TH November

Scotter United Reserves beat Brigg Town Colts 2 – 0, Scotter took the lead through Samuel Dawson after 32 minutes and two minutes later Stephen Walters scored to make it 2 – 0, which ended up being the final score; Manor Park CF were beaten 3 – 1 by Santon, Jamie Dobbs opened the scoring for Santon after 9 minutes when he latched onto the ball on the edge of the penalty after a Manor Park defender and the keeper made a hash of the clearance leaving him to put the ball into an empty net, Manor Park responded in the 16TH Minute when Rhys Worrall lobbed the keeper from the edge of the penalty area to make is 1 – 1 as both sides traded blows for the rest of the half with no further goal, it was still a fairly even game until the on 77 minutes when Rodrigo Faustino took a free kick from all of 35 yards out catching the Manor Park keeper out at his near post to make it 2 – 1 to Santon, Elso Junior wrapped the tie up after 84 minutes when he scored to make it 3 – 1; in Division One a hat trick from Philip Spindley along with goals from Nathan Plumtree and Kieran Graham gave Limestone Rangers a 5 – 3 win against Beckwood Rovers for whom Kyle Leathan scored twice and Nathan Payne once; Messingham United lost 6 – 0 to Scotter United who had six different scorers they being, Thomas Dunderdale, Lewis Wisdom-Lockwood, George Cook, Daniel Goble, Joshua Simpson and Harvey Baxter; in Division Two Barnetby United picked up 3 points on their travels at The Foxhills Sports ground but were made to work hard for them by hosts AFC Crosby. It was Crosby themselves who drew first blood as Aaron Lidgett took advantage of a flat-footed backline to latch on to a through ball and give his side the lead. Stung into action Barnetby responded immediately and Bailey Good got his side back on level terms with a composed finish. Ryan Jordan then put Barnetby 2 – 1 up as his effort from edge of the box found the bottom corner. Crosby were still a threat on the break as Barnetby were made to work hard to maintain their advantage. Just before halftime Cameron Hill out muscled the Crosby backline and his pass found Good who smashed home his 2ND of the game to make it 3 – 1. The footballing suicide at the start of the second half by The Railwaymen eventually resulted in a Crosby penalty and Lidgett made no mistake for his 2ND goal of the afternoon. From a long freekick Shaun Clark’s header found Liam Davies who swept home to make it 4 – 2 and when Ryan Jordan’s effort was only partially parried by the Crosby keeper to make it 5 – 2 Barnetby finally had breathing space and collected a hard fought 3 points.
