BECKETT League division one side Pickering Royal Oak put seven past hosts Ryedale SC Reserves, from division two, to book a place in the semi-finals of the Ryedale Hospital Cup.

Goals from John Appleyard, Nick Wilkinson, Damon Cox, Ben Thompson and a hat-trick by former Ryedale man John Reed - the third from a penalty - put the tie beyond Ryedale's reach, although Sean Dixon pulled one back.

Black Swan Pickering needed extra time to see off Kirkbymoorside Reserves after a 2-2 draw at the end of 90 minutes.

Andrew Piercy opened the scoring for Kirkbymoorside and later missed a penalty.

Danny Russell levelled with his first goal for Black Swan and Adrian Voicu then put them ahead before Moorsiders player-manager Dave Smith forced it to extra time, when Voicu (penalty) and John Walton wrapped it up for Swan.
