Midway through the second half, the game was all but ended as a contest with a goal from  Max Bayston. Mike Jones completed the scoring for the visiting with just three minutes left on the clock.

Commenting after the game Jagger said;

“It was a harsh lesson for us tonight.”

“We came up against a good Hessle side who were worthy winners on the night.”

“I’ve said to the lads afterwards that the disappointing part of tonight’s performance was the fact that they were more aggressive, faster and hungrier than us.”

“If we are going to push on this season we need to add a ruthless streak to our game.”

Defeat means Town are placed fifth in the Humber Premier League Table, while local rival Walkington have moved second, behind Hessle Rangers, after they beat North Ferriby Athletic.

“It was pleasing to have Kegan Rose and Joe Norton come on in the second half and we have plenty of players pushing for a start this Saturday.”
