ALL 'L' broke loose for hosts Strensall to take maximum points over Amotherby and capture second spot in the Leeper Hare York and District League third division.

Strensall's Nigel Lyle and Lee Lyons put the homesters 2-0 up at half-time. Soon after the re-start Lyle struck again. Strensall then spurned a great chance to wrap things up when they missed a penalty.

That fired up Amotherby, who countered with goals from Matty Biggins and a Simon Wall penalty, but Strensall held out.

Tockwith's Graham Hutchison hit four goals at Norton with Ben Raybould adding another in their 5-0 win.

Improving York RI came away from LNER Builders with a 4-1 win thanks to strikes from Neil Hinde (2), Luke Richardson and Carl Welch. Jim Clayton replied.

Wheldrake had only nine men on the pitch at the start of their game at Sheriff Hutton and although a tenth arrived late they handed the home side their biggest win for some time.

Shane Marshall, Jim Holroyd and Alex Rose all bagged hat-tricks with Dan Lazenby rounding off Sheriff's 10-1 win.

Dringhouses resumed their place at the top of Reserve 'A' after a 5-1 home win over St John's College.

Lee Atkinson netted a first half hat-trick added to by Colin Raynor and Shane Laverack in the second half. Mark Leask pulled one back for the Students.

South Bank were leading 1-0 at half-time at Osbaldwick, courtesy of a Dave Kettlewell 30-yarder, but one of their players was called away to a family emergency during the break and, with no substitutes, they had to play the second half with ten men.

The home side took full advantage as Jon O'Neil (2), Barry Popley and Adam Fella scored. Although Kettlewell hit another the points went to the hosts.

New Earswick remain top of Reserve 'B' despite losing their first game of the season in the derby at Huntington.

Paul Harrison claimed the first goal for Earswick only for Chris Dower to level. John Conroy put Earswick back in front before Huntington equalised again through Mark Ellis, who then hit the winner five minutes from time.

Copmanthorpe were held 2-2 by Haxby. Mark Scoreby struck both the Haxby goals but then conceded an own goal which set up Paul Scurry to hit a late equaliser.

Poppleton managed their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw with Easingwold for whom Paul Simpson scored.

Civil Service recorded their first Reserve 'C' win of the season as goals from Ross Dickinson, Neil Edwards and Martin Lund sealed victory over goal-less Wilberfoss.
