Third-placed Sinnington suffered a rare 4-1 defeat at home against Whitby Fishermen’s Academy.

Heslerton got off to the worst possible start in their trip to the coast as Filey Town Reserves found the net inside the first two minutes.

Heslerton would be level within 10 minutes though as the Filey keeper couldn’t prevent man of the match Rob Ruston’s effort going past him.

The visitors then piled on the pressure only for Filey to regain the lead just before the interval with a fine free-kick.

The second half saw Heslerton up the tempo with a Ruston shot handled in the box and Ethan Chan duly dispatched the spot-kick equaliser.

Heslerton then had a second penalty awarded, but Jordan Anderson’s effort from 12 yards shaved the outside of the post.

On 77 minutes the decider arrived as more Heslerton pressure paid off. Josh Wade pounced on a loose ball from 20 yards, took a touch then sent a fine effort over the crowded Filey box and into the top right hand corner of the net.
