Thackley have reached the final of the Co-Operative West Riding County Cup after a stunning victory at EvoStik League side Goole AFC in midweek.

Matthew Mathers struck twice in what was a whirlwind start for the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division outfit as they raced into a 3-0 lead by the 21st minute.

Nicky Matthews converted their third before Gavin Allott pulled one back quickly for the hosts.

But, that is how it stayed until Luke Richardson made it 4-1 in injury time to send Thackley through to the final that will be against either FC Halifax Town or Guiseley at Bradford City's Coral Windows Stadium next month.

In the Premier Division, fourth-placed Tadcaster Albion closed the gap on the top three with a 5-1 win at mid-table Brighouse Town.

They were two up by the break with goals from Tom Woollard and Graeme Whitehead.

Matthew Howgate and Stuart Rice then struck in quick succession to put the game beyond doubt before Alex Hallam grabbed a consolation for the home side.

Whitehead completed the scoring with his second and the Brewers move to within fourteen points of leaders Farsley AFC with four games in hand.

Scarborough Athletic's fine run of form continued as their 3-1 victory at home to Winterton Rangers made it six wins in a row for Paul Olsson's side.

Gary Hepples put them ahead early on before Ryan Blott and Bill Law added their second and third after the interval and Daniel Smith struck in the final ten minutes for Winterton.
