FIRST Division clubs ruled the roost in the second round of the York Sunday Afternoon League Cup, the only shocks coming two Second Division clubs that put out Third Division opposition.

Pride of place went to CB United. Last season they crashed out in the first round with an 18-0 thrashing at Pollington, but now they are through to the third round after beating a team from a higher division for the first time in their history.

Drum may be bottom of Division Two, but United were full value for their 2-1 win. Stevie Edgar set them on their way when he collected a poor goal kick to thump home a 30-yard shot. United then absorbed Drum pressure before extending their lead when Mark Haig converted a penalty to put them 2-0 up at the interval.

Drum dominated the second half but had only a Daz Bradbury goal to show for their efforts.

Third Division Stillington put out Second Division Eastholme United 4-3 after extra-time, the game finishing 2-2 after 90 minutes.

Promotion hopefuls Stillington started with only nine men and soon paid the price when a Dale Phillips free-kick deflected in off a defender to give Eastholme the lead.

Grayson levelled early in the second period, Phillips restored Eastholme's advantage, only for Grayson to net his second near the end to send the game into extra time. Grayson completed his hat-trick, to put Stillington ahead for the first time, but five minutes later Bedingham poked home an equaliser.

With a penalty shoot-out looming an Eastholme defender handled on the line from a corner, and Hudson netted from the spot to settle the tie.

Third Division Black Swan went out 7-3 at First Division leaders Old Malton Athletic. But Swan lead twice and were 2-1 up at the interval through Pete Mullen and Chris Morton. But Athletic upped the pace after the break, their goals coming from Sawndon (3), Wilford (2), Swift, and Bottomly. Isaac Mullen notched Swan's third.

First Division York Police were too strong for Leeman Hotel and took the lead after just 10 second through Steve Ward on the way to a 6-1 win. Ducey levelled for Leeman, but Police's other strikes came from Dave Pagan (2), Hopper (2), and Ward again.

Rigid put five past Pack through a Cygan hat-trick and a Hunnaball brace. Andy Baxter replied for Pack.

St John's mauled Minster 7-0 thanks to a Corcoran hat-trick, Hardacre, Mason, Jamieson, and Pindar.

Only two First Division teams went out, both clashing with teams from their own division. Real Cliffe beat Cock & Bottle 4-1, Jackson (2), Mitchell and Chappel doing the damage. York Nomads went one better and turfed out knavesmire Hotel 5-1 with goals from Smith (2), Dunn, Bond, and Pinder.

Third Division Bay Horse Marygate pushed First Division Pollington all the way before going out 2-0, but Third Division Volunteer Arms were left licking their wounds after a 7-0 drubbing at Second Division strugglers Railway King.

In an all Third Division clash, Clifton Rangers swept out Trebor Bassett 6-0 through Andrew Thompson (2), Adam Johnson, Joe Depa, Ben Firth, and Andrew Thompson.

In the all Second Division tussles, Heworth Hopgrove edged out Magsons 4-2 after extra-time. Goals from Chris Spence and Bilham put Heworth in control, but despite a missed penalty strikes from Whelan and Scott forced extra-time. Then a diving header from Spence and a well placed shot from Simon Thorpe settled the tie.

Ebor Bishopthorpe and Royal York Hotel met for the third successive week having won one match each. The 90 minutes ended deadlocked at 1-1, but Hotel came good in extra-time to win 3-1. Hotel scorers were South, Clark,and Luck, with Wake notching for Ebor.

York Nomads 85 eased past Terrington Tigers 2-1, Dean Walton netting both for Nomads, Collins hitting a Tigers leveller in the second half.
