YORK Schoolboys Under-13s romped to a 6-1 victory at Newcastle in round two of the English Schools’ FA National Cup.

Newcastle started brightly, passing the ball neatly through midfield and looked dangerous with every attack.

They took the lead on ten minutes with a 20-yard strike which gave York keeper Patrick Randall no chance.

It was the first time York had fallen behind in a game this season and with Newcastle pushing for a second the defence of Lucas Wilson, Ollie Smith, Jamie Higginbotham and Nick Hutton stood firm.

Central midfielders Charlie Ward and Danny Allinson started to get a foothold in the game, which allowed Rob Guilfoyle to force a good save from the Newcastle keeper.

Wilson then drove a free-kick from 25 yards, which again was well saved by the Newcastle keeper.

Newcastle were still pushing for a second and forced a brilliant save from Randall, who dived low to his left to keep the score at 1-0.

Following numerous good chances, York equalised on 25 minutes with a fine finish from Guilfoyle following an accurate pass from Manni De Nobriga.

The equaliser seemed to stun Newcastle and York kept up the pressure with a shot from Hutton.

On the stroke of half-time, Allinson slipped a ball behind the Newcastle defence for Joe Crosby to run onto, round the keeper and roll the ball into an empty net to make it 2-1.

Newcastle looked shell-shocked with the turnaround and York continued to press, with Crosby forcing a save from the keeper.

York soon extended their lead from a corner with De Nobriga heading home to make it 3-1.

Newcastle rallied and forced another good save from Randall following a free-kick.

Following a York clearance and good link up play by Joe Hickey and De Nobriga, who them set up Guilfoyle to score his second and York’s fourth.

York were now on top and Higginbotham set up Hickey before De Nobriga grabbed his second.
