The East Riding Football Association says it's extremely disappointed its Senior Cup Final won't be held at the KCOM Stadium for a second year in a row.

Last year, the organisation said it was priced out by the SMC, which runs the ground.

It eventually found the funds only to be told it was too late to organise it there for the first time in 70 years.

The FA says it's been told it's 99% likely the event won't be held at the KCOM this year either.

We're still trying to reach the SMC for a comment.

New figures have revealed A&E waiting times in England have dropped to their worst level since the introduction of the current target in 2004.

In our area 76.4% of patients were seen within four hours last month in Hull and East Yorkshire (pictured above).

At hospitals in Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Goole, 79.5% of patients were seen within four hours last month (pictured above).
