Pickering Town reached the Northern Counties East League Wilkinson Sword Trophy final last after an incident-packed 3-2 defeat of Worsborough Bridge.

Matty Morton and Danny Farthing put the Pikes 2-0 up but Bridge pulled one back and then equalised with a disputed goal in which Pikes 'keeper Adam Mitchell was injured.

Striker Phil O'Reilly went in net and his replacement up front, Adam Wash, scored with his first touch, but it was disallowed. Bridge then had a man sent off for abusive language and Morton hit the winner 12 minutes from time.

Tadcaster Albion's NCEL division one game against Yorkshire Amateur was called off, while a goal by new-boy Michael Ord helped Harrogate Town - for whom Stefan Zoll made his full league debut - draw 1-1 at Farsley Celtic in UniBond League division one. Ex-Town man Robbie Whellans got the equaliser.
