LEADERS Ryhope CW won a seven-goal thriller against second-top Scarborough Town in the Second Round of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup.

The Wearsiders were on the back foot during the opening half and trailed to an own goal and one by Joel Ramm, but produced a stirring performance after the break.

John Butler reduced the deficit and David Newby equalised. Boro though regained the initiative with a Nathan Cook penalty but once again Ryhope hit back and levelled with Butler’s second goal of the game. In stoppage time Glen Moan converted the penalty to clinch a 4-3 victory for his side.
