James Wilson put Staithes in front after ten minutes when his persistence down the right paid off and he slotted the ball home. Lee Gibson had a gilt-edged chance when goalkeeper Paul Chisman missed his kick but Gibson volleyed wide as Staithes enjoyed most of the play.

Boosbeck relied on set play as Ben Libbey and Keith Gorman, along with full-backs Simon Best and Paul Theaker, kept the shackles on Richard Darcy and Shane Breckon and Boosbeck came close when Breckon worked a short corner and fired his shot into the side-netting.

Reed and Gibson both went close for Staithes before Gibson broke away, from Micky Morgan and scored from the edge of the area across the diving Chisman.

Darcy fired a free-kick over but Staithes were in control and Gibson chipped his shot onto the roof of the net. Glenn Smith hit the foot of a post and Ward chipped over from outside the penalty area.

On the half hour Smith scored twice in as many minutes, firstly when a corner was not cleared and he moved the quickest to get a shot in and straight from the restart won the ball and raced through.

Breckon pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after he was brought down but Staithes weathered the storm and Mark Whittaker got on the score sheet when he took advantage of defensive indecision.

The second-half failed to match the first as Staithes protected their advantage but Gibson had an early chance and then Ward's shot was well saved by Chisman. Boosbeck pulled a goal back in the closing minute when Breckon fed Darcy who rounded Sanderson to shoot home.

Great Ayton enjoyed a 4-0 home win over Loftus Athletic. Richard Hore gave the home side the lead when his right cross deceived the goalkeeper.

In the second-half Steven Pennock played Hore through for his second and Murray got the fourth, again from the penalty spot, again for hand ball.

Ade Brown set home side Highland Laddie on the way to a 3-1 victory against Grosmont, a lead they held until the interval. Grosmont levelled in the second half through Alfie Hudson.

Billy Catermole scored in the first minute and again on the half hour to give Lingdale a 2-0 home win over Brotton.

Loftus YC defeated visitors Anchor by a similar scoreline. David Howse put the home side in front with a left-foot shot from the edge of the area. Alex Grey made sure of the points with a second-half goal in the second half.

In an entertaining game, Goldsborough just hung on to take all three points with a 2-1 away win over Redcar Mackinlay Park. Stuart Marsey put the visitors in front when the home defence failed to clear a left cross and Marsey volleyed home. Marsey made it two when Goldsborough were awarded free-kick and with the home defence still arranging a defensive wall he struck the free-kick home before the half time.

In the second-half Mackinlay Park enjoyed all the possession and pulled a goalback when Neil Palmer scored direct from a free-kick. The home side pressed for an equaliser with both Paul Roth and Richard Daley going close but the visitors' defence stood firm to secure all three points.

Lealholm came from behind to defeat Eastfields Reserves 3-1 in the Scarborough FA Junior Cup. Eastfields took the lead before Andrew Raw equalised for the home side.

Minutes later Elliott was on target again, volleying home from 12 yards and he completed a hat-trick 15 minutes from time when his well-driven centre was palmed in by the Stokesley keeper.
