Wykebeck FC

Wykebeck FC 4 - 1 Chapeltown FC

The cup fixture that always seems to get thrown up in the early rounds, and the second cup we've met Chapeltown in this season, Chappy made the short journey up Harehills Lane to the Corpus Beck fields for the last-16 County Cup clash. With both teams at full strength, it was sure to be the game of the round.

Chapeltown were hampered somewhat in the first 20 minutes, as all-rounder Daniel Leafe had to get dressed up in the 2nd Goalkeeper kit for the start of the game. Despite playing well, Wykebeck were gifted a goal as Kaiden Cheetham shot squirmed its way under the GK. Kaiden was involved again for the second goal when his cross was met by an exceptional header from Jordan Walker - who knew this Horse could jump?

Despite the setback, Chappy were in the game, and saves still had to be made at the other end, with Adam Wilson and Reece Kay blocking 3 consecutive shots off the line.

HT: 2-0

The game opened up in the second half, and Wykebeck began controlling more of the ball. Austin Ozzy Okoro was brought down in the box on the 65th minute and converted the penalty himself.

Perhaps the highlight of the game was Bruce Fernando scoring against his former club; picking up a loose ball on the edge of the area and placing cooly into the vacant net. There are unconfirmed rumours that he ran off kissing the Wykebeck badge à la Alan Smith 2005 as he celebrated down the touchline. 👀

Chappy grabbed a consolation goal in added time with a great header.

FT: 4-1

Thanks again to Chapeltown for another one of our great games together. Always a pleasure. It was also great to see Leafy back at The Fountain for a drink, but begging for a signing on form was a bit much. 😉🙌🕺

Whitkirk Wanderers Sundays 2 - 7 Wykebeck FC

Another convincing win at the weekend as we travelled up Selby Rd to meet Whitkirk.

The tone was set in the first 30 seconds as Charlie Parnell opened the scoring, closely followed by Kaiden Cheetham 5 minutes later. The tone of the game was set and we gave next to no time on the ball.

An Austin Ozzy Okoro brace and Kaiden's second rounded off the scoring for the first half.

HT: 1-5

More of the same second half; Jordan Walker grabbing a goal whilst Ozzy finished off his hattrick.

FT: 2-7

A really well managed game from Mike Stoddart in the middle as well.

HT: 0-0

Don't worry fellas, we'll treat your injured player for you.

FT: 1-3

Embarrassing.

Chapeltown 2 - 0 Wykebeck FC

There's not too much to be said about the weekend's Senior Cup defeat. The better team on the day rightfully won the game.

Although we arrived at Norma Hutchinson park in good spirits, and played fairly well throughout the match, Chapeltown took their chances and we squandered ours.

HT: 1-0

Wykebeck looked like quality individuals, whereas Chapeltown looked like a quality team.

FT: 2-0

Good luck to our opponents in the rest of the cup and we look forward to a return fixture in the league.

Drighlington 1 - 2 Wykebeck FC

A match leveller this morning as we progressed through to the next round of the County Cup.

Playing against the conditions in the first half, the game was understandably dominated by Drighlington. Chances were created with next to no response from ourselves and the breakthrough came in the 40th minute with a looping, wind-assisted header.

HT: 1-0

The game was always going to be won by the team that scored the most from the top of the hill, as there was next to no possibility of scoring up the hill against the wind. The equaliser came 20 seconds into the second half as Taylor Starkey's uncontested corner curled into the far side of the net. Wykebeck were ahead 2 minutes later when Taylor's free kick rebounded and Sten Thompson was on hand to slot home the winner.

From that point there was no doubt in the result, as a resilient Drig side tried to press, but couldn't beat the elements. Chrissy Hargreaves made an appearance in the second half; his 'retirement' lasting all of 13 days - more retirement comebacks than Tyson Fury.

FT: 1-2

Good luck to our opponents in the league, and thank you for hosting us after the game in their pub with food.

Barwick FC 1 - 4 Wykebeck FC

A very difficult game yesterday which we took away in the last 15 minutes. Barwick took the lead after 10 minutes through a mistake at the back. Wykebeck controlled the game from then on, with Austin Okoro smashing the equaliser in off the post.

HT: 1-1

Second half had more chances, but the ball breaking down in the final third and very good defending from Barwick. Ozzy's brilliant solo effort carved open the tiring legs and put us ahead. After winning a penalty, he scored his hattrick from the spot. With the game gone, Ozzy added to his tally to take the game away.

FT: 1-4

Wykebeck FC 10 - 1 Swillington Sundays FC

Back to normal service this week as we took down our [new] "rivals" in Swillington at the Co-Op Academy.

It took 25 minutes for the deadlock to be broken, and the halftime score was added to by two penalties. A domineering display from Wykebeck never had the result in doubt.

HT: 3-0

The goals continued to flow early into the second half, with Charlie Parnell scoring a hattrick and Jordan Walker just doing what he does.

Marcos Silva scored with his debut first touch from a corner, and Bruce Fernando slotted into the middle of the park like he'd played with us for years. The remaining goals came from Taylor Starkey & Austin Okoro.

FT: 10-1
