Beverley W.B. U11s 2

Howden Town U11s 8

Howden travelled to Wyke League leaders Beverley needing a win to leap-frog their hosts and claim top spot.

After starting the game well, though, they found themselves a goal down after the home side's first attack.

It was John Boardman who made Howden's first, getting to the bye-line before crossing to give Luke Woodall an easy tap-in.

Woodall quickly fired home a second after Reece Almond's long-range shot was only parried.

The third came from a corner as Shaun Logan controlled with his chest and struck home.

Woodall claimed his hat-trick, shooting home from another corner.

A Beverley free kick was headed off the line by Reece Almond on half time.

A good individual run and shot gave the home side their second after the interval, but Reece Almond replied with a header from another corner and Corey Harrison scored Howden's sixth with a hard, low shot into the bottom left hand corner, followed by another great move involving Boardman, Ullathorne and Almond allowing Tom Hick a tap in.

The final goal also resulted from intelligent play - Sam Challenger's throw-in near the half way line was headed on by Harrison to give Boardman a chance to cut in from the right at speed and beat the keeper at his near post.

The win took Howden to the top of the Wyke League.
