May had a superb 2005/06 season but still lacked his elusive first goal for the club. May developed a knack of scoring goals that would be then disallowed. During the 2005/06 season he scored a 40 yard lob at
Hednesford Town which the linesman did not see had crossed the line, later in the season he scored a legitimate goal atLancaster City which was then chalked off due to a floodlight failure causing the game to be abandoned. He also netted an equalising goal against play-off chasingStafford Rangers but this was ruled out as theReferee's assistant adjudged Craig Johnston's cross had gone out of play. His luck seemed to continue in the 2006/07 season. He scored againstStalybridge Celtic at Borough Park, this 'goal' however was awarded to fellow defenderDarren Edmondson after a photograph proved Edmondson's initial shot had crossed the line. Kyle's luck changed on 5th September 2006 when he scored two goals in Workington's 2-0 win over Vauxhall Motors at Borough Park ended his 102 game drought for Workingtoncite news
