HALL Road Rangers suffered an embarrassing 7-0 defeat at table-topping Scarborough Athletic.

Andy Foster's men, rested after a run of cancelled games, were dealt a setback after just six minutes when Tony Hawksworth got his first of the afternoon.

A second followed for Hawksworth on 26 minutes and Rangers were kept in the game by a string of top-notch saves by James Fossdyke.

A pivotal moment just before half-time came when the referee saw Scarborough's Ryan Blott kick out petulantly at a Rangers player.

It seemed a simple red card decision, but only a yellow was given.

Blott went on to score two further goals in the second period to add insult to injury.

Further second-half goals from Matt Plummer and Pete Davison, together with the completion of Hawksworth's hat-trick, sealed the embarrassment for Rangers, who drop one place into the potential relegation places.

Assistant manager Lee Hastings said: "It was a very disappointing and frustrating display, with a number of major attributes missing collectively as a team, which are required to compete in games at this level.

"One positive was the three players introduced off the bench, Ben Lewis, Ben Silburn and debutant Eddie Birch, who did very well."
