YARA sponsored Pocklington 3rds got off to a good start at home last Saturday but were pegged back by Fulford and needed a solid second half defensive performance to record the win and bag a vital 3 points in their climb up the table and away from the bottom of the division. They went 2-0 ahead with first half goals from John Parsons and Alex Fletcher but after the Town defence were caught in possession trying to play their way out from the back, Fulford pulled one back to leave the game delicately balanced. A well delivered corner from Mark Sissons restored Towns 2 goal lead at half time but Fulford made it 3-2 early in the second half to ensure that the last 30 minutes were nervy ones. An excellent team defensive effort managed to frustate the visitors and ensured that Pock continue their improvement in form and they face another test at home to Tadcaster Magnets next Saturday. Players meet at 1pm for a 2 pm kick off please.

James Saltmer's 6th goal of the season levelled things again but despite pushing for the win, the visitors scored two late goals to record the win.
