Acomb Men's II won their first Yorkshire League division nine game since Christmas by beating Wakefield 1-0 at home.

Wakefield failed to capitalise when Acomb were reduced to ten men after a yellow card was given to John Cooper for too much back-chat.

The longer the game went on the better Acomb played and a 0-0 half-time scoreline was a tribute to some fine defending from David Quarrie.

Acomb finally broke the deadlock midway through the second half through Paul Yoward.

York St John College Men's I continued their dominance of division ten with a 9-0 win at Halifax III.

A very one-sided game saw the students score through Marc Betts (3), Tom Carter (2), Matthew Redwood (2) and Martyn French (2).
