Ronnie Kelly was the Hull matchwinner, scoring a hat-trick against a Fylde team which included Danny Ormerod, Jesse Hailwood, Liam Muscart and Charlie Markland, all of whom had been involved in the seniors’ FA Trophy squad.

Neither team established a foothold in the game early on, though Ormerod saw two half-chances blocked on their way to goal.

Leading 1-0 at half-time, the Tigers went 2-0 up on 51 minutes as Lucas Dawson put a teasing cross into the six-yard box, where Kelly was waiting to poke in.
