scoring for the 2013 West Rid ing County FA Challenge Cup winners in the fifth minute, his low, driven free-kickjust flashing past a post, and Leach’s forceful run down the left resulted in his shot being tipped behind for a corner. On 12 minutes, the visitors
had one of their rare efforts, a 25 yarder flyingjust wide, but itwasn’tlongbeforethevillag-
ers took the lead, as Jackson combined with Walsh, who chested down for Mclean, and even though his effort was blocked, he made no mistake from the long throw-in when it found him in the box. Leach should have doubled
the lead on 22 after Jackson’s strong run and cross found him unmarked in the six-yard box, but the keeper spread himself brilliantly to block. Collinge saw his free-kick
tipped round a post for a cor ner, Walsh collecting a short one and crossing for Lloyd to head back across goal, and Leach could only head over. Controversy on the half
hour mark came when Dins- dale seemed to be yards on-
side, racing away to score only for the referee to bring play back for off-side, and the half’s last chance was another header, this time Lloyd head ing Walsh’s free kick wide. In the second half, the
home side upped the tem po. Jackson looked like he would score when hewassent through, but his first shot was parried by the keeper, and his
follow-up effort kicked offthe line. On the hour, a great move
flowed from the back, into midfield and on to Collinge, who whipped in a great cross for Bagot, the striker unlucky to see his header drift wide with the keeper beaten. Bagot was not to be denied
10 minutes later as he raced in- to the area and fired into the far corner to make it 2-0. He almost added another
on 75 minutes, heading Jack son’s crossjust over. Late on, McLean found
substitute Eddie Drake with an excellent chip, and Drake ran on to slide the ball past the keeper. In the last minute, McLean
fired in a low driven corner, and when the ball arrived at Lloyd’s feet he hammered it into the roof of the net for 4-0. Terry Braithwaite was sat
isfied, if not excited about the performance, and Saturday sees a mouth-watering clash against champions Ivy, kick off 2-15 p.m.

Hurst Green climbed to sec ond place in the league fol io wing this seven-goal derby thriller.
The opening period was a
cagey affair until the Green seized the initiative after 25 minutes when a superb in swinging corner from Ben Aspery was met by Oli Ship- ston, who planted a firm header past keeper Jayan Chauhan. Within a couple of min utes Green increased their
■ lead when a clever free kick from Tom Cattermole was steered home by Aspery. Green made it three
just before half-time when Aspery finished off a fine flowing move by roundihg Chauhan and slotting home. Green made a couple of
half-time substitutions and this appeared to disrupt their flowing football as Longridge rallied. Razor sharp finishing
fromMikey Fell and twogoals from Paul Turner pulled
them level with five minutes left on the clock.
However in a dramatic
finale, Harri Yerkess guided Cory Longton’s free kick back across the face of goal for an unmarked John Holden to smash home the winner. • Simon Holgate scored
