Another good’un for Bassetlaw

In bright and sunny but windy conditions on the excellent Scarborough College pitch Bassetlaw set off at a furious pace totally overwhelming all but the Scarborough goalkeeper until Jay Smith, Kieron Hooley and Ryan Dixon beat him with powerful unstoppable strikes.

The score rose to six by the interval after which Scarborough, with the wind now in their favour, defended in depth but were unable to prevent Regan Watkinson taking Bassetlaw’s tally to eight without reply.

Another convincing win and another clean sheet means that Bassetlaw will now travel to Hull for the next round after Christmas.

Saturday concludes the first half of the season when the boys travel for the return fixture with Gainsborough Boys with the following squad: Luke Smith (Norbridge); Josh Robson (Bracken Lane); Jack Wilson (Harworth); Curtis Toulson (Ryton Park); Finn Sweetnam (Holy Family); Luke Carey, Jay Smith (Carr Hill); Ethan Warner, Lewis Comley, Ryan Dixon (Redlands); Adam Duffy, Kieron Hooley (Kingston Park); George Atkinson (Clarborough); Regan Watkinson (St Augustine’s); Josh Hooton, Liam Frost (Sir Edmund Hillary).Staff: Messrs Presley, Tarr.
