TROPHY-CHASING Heworth cruised into the quarter-finals of the York FA Intermediate (Senior) Under-15s Minor Cup with a 10-0 victory over Poppleton.

Heworth led 4-0 at half-time in the York MotorSports Village-sponsored competition and added six second half goals to book a last-eight tie at Tockwith.

Man of the match Chris Campbell scored twice and there was also a brace of goals for both Will Hartley and Brad Martin.

Tom Fort, Jordan Binns and Rhys Turbine added their names to the scoresheet, while Poppleton contributed an own goal.

Coach Adam Cisek, who runs the team with manager Nick Myers, said: "It was a good performance - our best of the season so far.

"It was very positive that we got a clean sheet and a few of the players who have struggled for goals scored in this game."

The York Minor League division one side are aiming for a top three league finish, while mounting a defence of their League Cup crown and aiming to land the York FA Cup.

Cisek said: "We are in with a shout in all three competitions. We are hoping to go as far as we can in the FA Cup and we are trying to defend the League Cup.

"We were fourth in the league last year and hoping to be in the top three this year and see how it goes. It is a tough league."
