The visitors were quickest out of the blocks with a Jake Allardice cross from the right flank, switching the ball to his opposite number Sam Besau who cut in from the left wing and fired an effort that Ryedale would block at the expense of a corner.

From the resultant dead ball from Morgan Kendrew a melee in the box would see a goal line clearance. Kendrew then crossed for George Ridler whose effort was cleared.

With 25 minutes played Rob Ruston was fouled on the edge of the penalty box.

Ryedale set up a defensive wall only for Jack Pinder to curl a fine finish out of reach of keeper Jim Houlder. Heslerton continued to up the ante with a further two efforts headed off the line.

Standouts in an excellent team display were Besau, Allardice, Ruston and man of the match Jamie Atkinson.
