Edgehill Reserves boss Steve Clegg added: “We had a depleted team without any subs, Scalby deserved their win but Edgehill stayed in the game right until the end despite receiving two red cards, with one seeming very harsh but the other deserved.

Super-sub Terry Day was the late hat-trick hero as Newlands snatched a 3-0 win against Westover Wasps in their Scarborough & District League clash at a wet Pindar on Friday night.

Newlands started brightly, but Wasps came back into the game strongly and went onto hit the woodwork three times despite the scoreline.

After a goalless first half, Newlands keeper Tom Cammish pulled off a top-drawer to keep his side in the game.

Day entered the fray with 20 minutes to go, and scored with virtually his first touch, drilling a free-kick from the edge of the area into the bottom corner.

Newlands doubled their lead shortly after as Day scored with another excellent finish just inside the penalty area, and their man of the match Day completed his 15-minute hat-trick to seal the win with another cracking strike.

Wasps player-boss Josh Beach said: “That was our best performance this season, I couldn’t fault the lads. We hit the woodwork three times before they scored. The score doesn’t reflect the game by any means.

"Ryan Matson was our man of the match.”

Ayton claimed a superb 5-1 home win against Union Rovers in Beckett League Division One.

Thornton started the second half well and forced a penalty in the first minute of the half when Elven was brought down, he took the kick himself to level. He put Thornton ahead with a well-taken goal in the 55th minute before adding a third on the hour to put Thornton 3-1 up.
