BAGBY & Balk rose into second place in the newitts.com Beckett League on Saturday after a 6-0 home win against Ryedale Sports Club reserves in the only first division game played at the weekend.

With other clubs involved in Scarborough & District FA cup ties, a Bagby outfit fielding five players aged 16 or 17 took advantage.

The opening half hour was goalless but Bagby then got in control and their opening goal arrived when a left-wing cross by James Parkinson saw Dom Rayner score with a looping header over Ryedale’s young keeper.

Debutant Danny Addison scored his side's second goal before the interval and second-half goals followed from Addison, man-of-the-match James Clark, Josh Hudson and Peter Gray, with an unstoppable 20-yard effort into the bottom corner.

Brooklyn 3rds are the new leaders in the second division after they beat Stillington Sports & Social Club 4-1.

Man-of-the-match midfielder Liam Wheeler fired Brooklyn ahead and, although Steve Johnson equalised for the visitors, the hosts won it as Jack McLoued, Jordan Horsley and an own goal found the net.

Stillington hit the crossbar in the second half and forced a couple of good saves from the Brooklyn keeper.

Duncombe Park are second after edging a five-goal thriller against Gillamoor.

Gills' Andrew Claughton hit the bar before man-of-the-match Ryan Mintoft put them ahead.

Tommy Garbutt equalised on the half-hour mark following a James Oldmeadow cross and, after 65 minutes, Jack Chadwick latched onto Nick Allenby's lovely through ball to put Park ahead.

Five minutes later, Corey Taylor made it 3-1 before a second Mintoft goal 10 minutes from time made for a nervy finale.

Kirkdale United remain third after a 4-0 away win at last week's leaders, Snainton reserves, who had David Pearson sent off in an ill-tempered affair.

Rob Galtrey was a hat-trick hero and man of the match. Alex Croall, who got the other goal, and Andy Parker also impressed.

Heslerton reserves easily saw off Thornton-le-Dale reserves as the sides met for the third time in four fixtures.

Dale began well but Hezzo soon got on top and deserved their five-goal victory which came courtesy of Jermaine Timms, Dan Blanchard, Joe Schofield (2) and veteran Phil Horton.

Thornton-le-Dale never gave up but were outdone by a fine team performance from Heslerton, for whom the man of the match was 16-year-old James Sawdon at right-back.

Settrington reserves doubled their points tally for the season when they drew 1-1 with Union Rovers reserves.

Frazer Hall gave Settrington a first-half lead but Kingsley Daffern equalised for Rovers in the second half.

The men of the match were Setty's Nathan Craine and Union's Luke Jackson.
