Kirkbymoorside Reserves crashed to their first defeat of the season in division one of the RJF Homes Beckett League.

Lowly Thornton-le-Dale did the damage at Kirkbymoorside with a 3-0 win.

Uyi Ehima, making the perfect comeback after his 12-week ban, set up Mike Lealman for the opener. Ehima added one from the penalty spot, and Will Dunnett fired in a rocket for the third.

Division one leaders Kirkdale United dropped two league points against Pickering Royal Oak after managing only a 1-1 draw.

Ian Prendergast converted a hotly disputed penalty to put Kirkdale in the lead, but Royal Oak deservedly levelled through Terry Davison.

Former Sinnington favourite Richard Wilkinson netted a brace for Rosedale against his old team in a 2-2 draw, with Dan Harland and Joseph Turnbull scoring for Sinners.

Old Malton 3rds had their basement position confirmed after a 2-0 loss at home to Black Swan Pickering.

Simon Dale and man of the match Steve Sailes sealed the win.

Visitors Aislaby United had the joy of six at Duncombe Park after going a goal down.

Mark Wood fired Duncombe ahead after five minutes, and Martin Carter side-footed in an equaliser. Simon King hit United's second and Jack Colman pulled Park back into it before half time.

But second half strikes from Andy Caine (own goal), Kenny Temple (penalty), King and Carter secured the 6-3 win for Aislaby, Colman netting a second for Park, who were reduced to ten men after James Oldmeadow was dismissed for foul and abusive language.
