HESSLE RANGERS   3  MARKET WEIGHTON MAGPIES  5

There were goals galore at the new 3g pitch at Haltemprice Sports Centre when Hessle Rangers took on the new Market Weighton Magpies team. It took just four minutes for Andy Walker to put Hessle in front after the visitors failed to deal with a long ball. The game was an end to end affair with both sides creating and missing reasonable chances. The home side doubled their lead when Anthony Liptrot made it 2-0 which was the half time score but the Magpies had plenty of chances.

They halved the deficit inside the first couple of minutes through substitute Liam Allott but within five minutes Hessle had restored their two goal advantage when Walker got his second of the game after the Magpies keeper made a great save. Allott got his second after the Hessle keeper was adjuged to let the ball cross the line for 3-2. Both sides went forward at every opportunity and it came as no surprise when the visitors drew level through Nathan Speckley was first to react to an Allott effort was saved. Hessle responded and created a couple of good chances but it was the visitors who scored again through Speckley but not before Hessle had a goal disallowed for offside and then a great save by the Magpies keeper prevented an equaliser. They finally confirmed the win when captain Ben Pearson got a fifth for the visitors to make the final score 3-5.
