Malton & Norton almost caused a major upset in the preliminary round of the York Minster Engineering Football League Reserve Cup.

Grant Stevens levelled three minutes from time to send their tie with last season’s beaten finalists Copmanthorpe into penalties.

However, Cop, who had earlier gone in front through Josh Levitt, won the shoot-out 6-5 to earn a home tie with F1 Racing.

Dunnington made an impressive start in their quest for a league and cup double as they defeated Poppleton 6-1.

Andy Rose netted a hat-trick.

Phil Smith hit three of Tadcaster Magnets’ goals in a 5-1 home win over Strensall. Two goals apiece from Tom Bissett and Joe Hinds helped Dringhouses to a 6-0 win at Huby and their reward is an home tie on Saturday with Wigginton Grasshoppers.

Nestlé will travel to reserve ‘B’ side Amotherby after their 5-0 home win over Selby RSSC. Dan Combes and Dan Brackenpool both got a brace for Nestlé.
