RELEGATION-THREATENED Riccall United lost 5-3 at home to Huntington Rovers in York Minster Engineering Football League reserve ‘A’.
The Rovers scorers were Dan Hood, sub Lee Jackson, an own goal, Chris Johnson and Ali Bell, while Jim Darlison scored a hat-trick for Riccall.
York RI confirmed runners-up spot in reserve ‘B’ as goals from Ryan Davidson, Danny Wood and Lee Dutton saw them defeat Pocklington 3-0.
Bishopthorpe avoided successive relegations as they beat Malton & Norton 4-2 to condemn the Ryedale side to reserve ‘C’ football. Thorpe United’s slim promotion hopes in reserve ‘C’ were shattered in the second half of their game against local rivals Hemingbrough.
Thorpe, needing to win to have any chance of going up, led at the break but Hemingbrough ran amok after the interval to win 5-1.
Dave Young (2), Mike Brown (2) and Luke Zacharenko did the damage.
As a result, Tadcaster Magnets are promoted along with reserve ‘C’ champions Fulford United.
Stamford Bridge ended a run of six games without a win as they thumped Poppleton 6-1 to clinch their survival and relegate Crayke.
Two of their goals came from Paul Fowler.
Selby RSSC remain on track for the reserve ‘D’ championship after a 3-0 home win over Huby.
Luke Lambert (2) and Tachas were on target for the Selby side and victory in their final fixture, also against Huby, will see them pip Strensall to the title.
In the Division Four Section One Trophy, two goals from Tom Knowles helped Bishop Wilton beat Moor Lane 3-2.
• The York Minster Engineering League, who recently picked up a Bronze Award from the Football Association for their work on the Respect campaign and fair play, have vacancies for first teams and reserve sides.
