East Riding Senior Cup, Quarter Final
North Cave 1 Hull City 4 (att 82)
Officially, at least according to the East Riding County FA website, it's Hull City's first team that enters the Senior Cup, but I doubt Steve Bruce spent too much time worrying about this fixture as he selected his team for today's Premier League game at Sunderland.
Hull's under 18 youth team represented the club at a very windy, but thankfully dry, North Cave Playing Field, and had more than enough skill to see off the Humber Premier League side and book a place in the semi finals.
North Cave took an early lead, which they held for about half-an-hour, but two goals, the second wind assisted, put the youngsters in front. It was a lead they just about deserved, while North Cave had plenty of possession, it was Hull who created more chances, often being denied by the keeper.
The second half was dominated by the visitors, who added two more goals, as North Cave tired, to complete a comfortable win.
Having read other reports of visits to North Cave I wasn't expecting much from the ground. Facilities are basic, just a roped off pitch on the far side of a cricket square from the welcoming clubhouse, but it's a scenic spot and overall I quite liked it, despite being buffeted by the strong wind for 90 minutes.
