Humber Premier League, Premier Division
East Riding Rangers 1 Walkington 6 (att 26)
East Riding Rangers' final game of the season and they needed a win to move level on points with Walkington and give themselves hope of finishing off the bottom of the table.
They made a bright start and it was looking good for the home side when they went ahead mid-way through the first half. But as light rain turned torrential Walkington struck twice in as many minutes to take a lead into half time.
Thankfully the heavy rain eased as the second period got underway, but there was no improvement in the home side's fortunes. Walkington's third goal was the decisive one, with about a quarter of the game left.
After that a deflated East Riding Rangers were no match for the visitors, who scored three more, including a penalty, for a comprehensive and deserved win.
Whether bottom place means relegation for East Riding remains to be seen, especially as the division is currently a club short following the early season demise of Crown FC.
Rangers are based in the Cottingham area of Hull. The King George V Playing Fields, off Northgate, is a basic venue, but the club put a lot of effort into turning into a matchday venue. Both touchlines are roped off, and a pair of temporary dugouts, in club colours, provider shelter for subs and coaches.
