Harrogate RA 5 Spennymoor Town 1.

Spennymoor never recovered from a three goal blast in the first 16 minutes as they went out of the Doodson Sport Cup at Harrogate RA last night.

Harrogate took the lead against a second string Moors on 6 minutes when Jesus Martin-Farija finished off a good move, and then he scored the second four minutes later after a corner was headed down to him.

And he completed his hat trick by the 16th minute from the spot after he had been brought down by Reece Kenney. Worse was to follow for Moors just on halftime when Rob Youhill ran from the halfway line and beat David Atkinson.

Moors improved in the second half, after Michael Roberts beat four men and hit the bar, they pulled a goal back on 71 minutes through from sub Reece Brown.

However, hopes of a comeback were dashed when Dan Hickey found plenty of space to score the fifth with seven minutes left.

Spennymoor: Atkinson, Groves(c), Gibson, G Brown, Clarke, Willis, Lynch (sub R Brown), Kenney, Ward, Roberts, McReady.

Sub not used: McKenna.
