YARA sponsored Pocklington Town 3rds were at home to Stamford in a local "derby" and in a game between two well matched teams, just had the quality in front of goal to claim the 3 points and record their first league win of the season in four games. With Pock slow to start, Stamford enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges and neither side were able to break the deadlock until the 41st minute. A Sam Morrell throw was flicked on by Nick Daniells and Alex Fletcher was able to finish with a volley from the edge of the area to put Town ahead right on the interval.

 

Pock doubled their lead on 55 minutes when Daniells was on hand to fire home a cross inside the 6 yard box and solid defending from skipper Byron Draycott, James Marshall, Sam Morrell and Alex Downey saw Pock home. Next week they are away to Tadcaster Magnets, players meet at the club at 12.30 pm please.
