KO as Heyside let slip big lead

Heyside bowed out of the Huddersfield League Barlow Cup at the quarter-final stage as they lost 4-3 at First Division side Scholes.

Playing with the advantage of the slope and with the wind at their backs, Heyside surged into a 3-0 lead inside the opening 20 minutes thanks to goals from Andrew Fulham (two) and Niall Barnes.

Further excellent saves from the Scholes ’keeper kept the score down to 3-0 at the interval.
