Ash Flynn scored a hat-trick against his old side AFC Emley in the Yorkshire Amateur’s 8-1 victory
Ash Flynn scored a hat-trick against his former club AFC Emley as promotion-chasers Yorkshire Amateur sent out a real statement of intent with an unbelievable 8-1 victory at the Welfare Ground.
For the Ammers it was probably their best result in the modern era. For Emley, the league campaign could not have begun more disastrously.
Flynn’s treble, doubles from Fernando Moke and Daniel Naidole and a solitary strike from Brice Tiani consigned misery upon Emley, whose goal was scored by Jordan Townend.
Knaresborough Town also enjoyed a fine away victory at highly-fancied Grimsby Borough.
Greg Kidd, Brad Walker and Joel Freestone earned Knaresborough a 3-0 win.
Selby Town came back from 2-0 down to draw 3-3 at Brigg Town – Liam Flanagan (2) and Charlie Clamp hit the target.
