Yapton pay the price

Hunston Res 4, Yapton Res 1 West Sx Lge, Div 3S 

Tell us your team news.

What could have been a closely-contested match was spoiled for Yapton when they wasted so many openings, Ben Hothersall and Eddie Manwill missing the easiest opportunities.

The visitors were fortunate to be only 1-0 down at half-time, then Hunston added two more early in the second period. Finally, Manwill cut inside and hammered a great goal for Yapton, but they conceded a fourth near the end.

Yapton's first team went down 6-2 at home to Queen's Head Raiders in Div 2S.

They trailed 3-2 at the break, their goals coming from penalties by Harry Wollers and Levi Stevens, but they were overwhelmed later on.

In a quarter-final of the Bareham Trophy, Yapton 3rd lost 1-0 away to Worthing BCOB. Ryan Warr grabbed the decider after Yapton goalkeeper Jake Dean had made a good save and a scramble ensued.
