Two goals in as many second half minutes earned York Rovers a 2-0 win at Tadcaster Magnets in the York FA Senior Minor Cup.

It looked as though Rovers were going to pay dearly for missing a first-half penalty, but Mark Masheder's 67th-minute close-range effort broke the deadlock.

And soon after, the tie was sealed when Danny Palmer struck with the second goal.

Stamford Bridge and Fulford were involved in a nine-goal thriller before ten-man Bridge eventually went down 5-4.

Fulford's scorers were Ross Nelson (2), Dan Horsely, Danny Gooch and Danny Bruce, while John Nesbitt (2), Andrew Cleary and Oliver Sanderson replied for the valiant Bridge charges.

Barlby Raiders had built up a 2-0 half-time lead against Poppleton with goals from Jack Rogers and Joe Davis.

The latter added a further goal before Poppleton scored what only proved to be a consolation effort.
