Early in the second half, he drove into the D, drawing the keeper and squaring to Joseph Shannon for an easy finish, but Sheffield immediately pulled a goal back. Thirsk repeated their second goal to settle the result and added a fourth from an Andrew Crute cross to Jake. Final score 4-1. Man of the match for outstanding all round contribution - Jake Bowers.
