Boardman brace settles Trophy tie

Striker Louis Clarkson settled a hard-fought tie in favour of Scarborough at Prescot Cables with a 54th-minute header. Cables had Carl Furlong sent off on the hour after an incident with Ben Middleton.

Both Ossett clubs bowed out. Albion had to battle with 10 men at home to Curzon Ashton after Niall O’Brien’s 31st minute dismissal for clashing with Chris McDonagh. Sam Robinson scored Albion’s goal just after the hour in a 3-1 defeat. Ossett Town were hammered 6-1 at home by Darlington 1883 who won the Trophy in 2011 as Darlington FC.

Farsley FC hit back from three goals down at Kendal Town with second-half efforts by Lee Ellington and Marc Thompson but lost 3-2, while 10-man Sheffield lost 2-1 at Padiham where Andy Gascoigne was sent off.

Two first-half goals by Gainsborough’s Bradley Barraclough and Simon Russell (penalty) condemned Harrogate to a 2-0 Skrill North defeat at the Northolme.

Former Guiseley striker James Walshaw tormented his old club with a second-half hat-trick as Altrincham forced a 4-1 home win after trailing in the first half.

Guiseley took the lead when Potts slotted home a low cross from Swain and they were much the better side in the first half before collapsing after the break. Walshaw, who left Nethermoor in the summer, included a penalty in his hat-trick and former Farsley marksman Damien Reeves was also on target

Substitute Chris Howarth’s equaliser three minutes from time saw Bradford Park Avenue grab a 2-2 draw at Solihull Moors after twice falling behind.

Ant Wilson’s hat-trick saw North Ferriby strengthen their leadership with a 3-0 win at Colwyn Bay.

Wilson scored his first after six minutes and added a second soon after the break. His third was a stoppage time 30-yard lob.
