BEN METCALFE hit four goals as Pickering Town U12s enjoyed an emphatic 13-2 win at Brayton.

Also scoring were Luke Hornby (2), Maurice Calton-Seal, an own goal, Gabby McGill (2), Thomas Richardson, Ben Metcalfe (2) and Andrew Tiffney, who also earlier rattled the woodwork.

The Pikes have now bagged 78 goals in just nine league games.

Lewis Eustace hit four goals and Lucas Davison and Nathan Konya were also on the scoresheet as Kirkbymoorside U12s beat West Pier 6-1.

Josh Peel scored a hat-trick as Thornton-le-Dale U12s beat Goldsborough 5-1. The home side dominated the game and further goals from Sam Batty and James Weldon-Bee completed the win.

Brooklyn U12s drew 1-1 with unbeaten Tadcaster Albion but, after some of their best football of the season, were disappointed not to take all the points.

Brooklyn midfielder Luke Scott saw a free-kick headed off the line before Tadcaster went ahead with a fortuitous cross-cum-shot.

The hosts dominated the second half and, after Stephen Kerr went close several times, they levelled through Josh Wade after a Scott show was blocked.

Oli Farrow’s half-volley later shaved the bar as Brooklyn sought a winner.
