Pocklington Town secure shoot-out win against Sculcoates in Whiteheads Fish & Chips Cup
It was as close as expected for the Churchill Tyres-sponsored Humber Premier League Town first team in the cup game at home against rivals Sculcoates Amateurs, writes Richard Bower.
It was 0-0 at the break and despite a second-half Nathan Walker penalty, it finished 1-1 at full-time with Pock going on to win it 4-2 on penalties and make it through to the quarter-finals.

It was a tough afternoon for Town’s depleted line-up as the Haxby-based side possessed more quality on the day.
A goal from Cal Dunham for the York Minster Engineering League YARA sponsored Reserve A 3rd team was enough to earn the team a 1-1 battling draw at home against Old Malton St. Mary’s Reserves.
It took Town a while to get going in the first half as Old Malton started on the front foot.

It was 1-1 at half-time though following a well-worked goal and despite an end-to-end second half, with both sides having a handful of chances, a draw was a fair result after Pock had to dig deep in a difficult game but were ultimately good value for their point.
Despite a good first-half performance from the Right Car Easy Riding County League Division Three Lane Rental Services-sponsored 4th team, it was visitors Market Weighton who eventually ran out 5-0 winners as Town’s youngsters continue to learn and develop in every game.
Congratulations to Saturday's Chrysalis Men’s Mental Health sponsored Man of the Match winners.
