Evo Stik round-up: Scarborough Athletic lose again

By James Grayson (Twitter: @jamesAgrayson)
Scarborough Athletic’s dreadful start to life in the Evo Stik Division One South continued as last year’s runners-up were 3-1 winners at Queensgate after scoring two late goals.
It was the Seadog’s third straight league loss and Rudy Funk’s side have only won once in the Evo Stik since being promoted.
Goalkeeper Jason White conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time which Cameron Stewart fired home.
Funk then threw on his trump card – Ryan Blott. Last season’s top scorer and fans favourite Blott called on Funk to give him more game-time earlier this week and he immediately slotting home the equaliser.
But, minutes before Blott’s goal, Scarborough lost defender Paul Foot as the Hull-based Matt McGrath, who is a popular and usually lenient official, showed him a second yellow card.
Despite being down to ten men, the game was there to be won. Tyler Collishaw wasted one chance before committing a foul to hand Coalville a second penalty with just minutes remaining.
Stewart slammed his second penalty into the net and almost instantly Anthony Carney rounded off a Coalville victory. Scarborough have the chance to bounce back on Tuesday night at Brigg Town before Saturday’s historic FA Cup second qualifying round clash with Penrith.
In the Evo Stik Division One North, Farsley AFC are back on track after a winless three-game run as Neil Parsley’s men won 4-0 at New Mills.
Club captain Robbie O’Brien gave Farsley a first half lead and then in-form striker Aiden Savory doubled the score on the hour.
It was then left to substitute Matty James and Lee Ellington to round off a brilliant afternoon for the Villagers.
Fernando Moke
Buoyed by the FA Cup victory at Bamber Bridge, Craig Elliott’s Ossett Town recorded a second consecutive league victory – led by a remarkable four goal haul from Fernando Moke. Town won 5-2 at Padiham.
After conceding in the first minute, Moke quickly levelled for Town.
Padiham went ahead again on 15 minutes, but Steven Jeff equalised before half-time.
Moke, who has been in-and-out of Elliott’s team so far this season and rejected by Farsley in the summer, scored three more to complete the rout.
Harrogate Railway were also celebrating after holding title favourites Darlington 1883 to a 0-0 draw away from home.
Wakefield FC could not record back-to-back wins under manager Paul Lines as the Bears went down 7-0 at home to Warrington Town.
After Scott Metcalfe had opened the scoring, Wakefield midfielder John Douglas was red carded for dissent and the dismissal opened the floodgates.
Ben Wharton then scored twice to give Warrington a comfortable 3-0 half-time lead.
Phil Davies, Jon Newby and Phillip Mooney got the score to 6-0 before Wharton got his hat-trick from the penalty spot in the last minute.
Ossett Albion were beaten 2-1 by Clitheroe – Adam Muller got Albion’s goal.
In the Premier Division, Frickley Athletic drew 0-0 at Matlock Town.
