PREMIER DIVISION
A victory parade was held through the streets of Castletown on Saturday night as Hylton CW at long last won there first league game of the season. They produced free flowing football as they put a sorry Sassco UK to the sword with a 7-0 win.
Carl ‘Welsh Wizard’ Price was the hero as he fired in a superb hattrick, man of the match Jordan Cook weighed in with two goals. The victory was completed with fine strikes from Liam Oley and Chris Usher.
The win saw record takings in the Mickey Mouse Club afterwards as celebrations continued well into the early hours of Sunday morning.
Hendon Grange seemed to have turned the corner as they produced a stirring display as they defeated a strong Colliery Tavern team 4-3. Gareth Snowden (2) and Shaun McGregor scored for the Tavern whose star man was Gavin Foot.
West End fresh from their break picked up where they had left off as they battered Aquatic Sports into submission with an emphatic 8-0 victory.
The win was inspired by man of the match Stephen Bogie who headed two quickfire goals from great crosses by McCabe, Shaun Herron made it 3-0 when he scored with an absolute screamer and then great vision from Liam Gettings saw him make it 4-0 just before half time as he produced an audacious lob.
West End made changes at half time but that didn’t alter their style of play as they produced a masterclass display, Sub Adam Potts got on the scoresheet as he fired a rocket like shot into the top corner. Bogie completed his hattrick and Liam Gettings grabbed his second of the game before going off injured and that meant West End had to finish the game with ten men.
Paul Webber then broke clear to score his sides eight goal, to heap more misery on Aquatic- they missed a penalty which was smartly saved by the visiting keeper. Aquatic star man was Jon Atkinson.
Chesters Athletic, despite missing several influential players trounced The Cambridge 6-3.
Three players each scored a brace with Greg Dixon, star man Marc Stephenson and Ian Redman respectively. Stephenson scored the goal of the game from his own half, and Dixon scored with an excellent lob from 30 yards. Chris Bewick made a return from a 5-week suspension and was excellent in centre midfield.
Hall Farm Blakeneys threw the points away as they let a two goal lead slip as they were held to a 3-3 draw against Shiney Row Travellers Rest – a result which left manager Lee Bogan fuming.
Hall Farm could not have asked for a better start as a great move involving David Jackson and Ross Taylor saw Dean Smith smash home the opener inside 3 minutes, Farm gave a cheap equaliser away when from their corner Travellers hit them with a swift counter attack.The Farm went onto dominate the rest of the half as they missed golden opportunities through Smith and Jackson before skipper Cameron Marshall showed them how its done with a well taken volley from a Timm cross. It got worse for the Travellers as they gave away a penalty of which Kyle Lax tucked away.
The second half was a horror show for the Farm as they stopped working hard which resulted in sloppy play and they were punished for it as the Travellers grabbed an unlikely point with goals on 50 minutes and 85 minutes.
On a sad note for Hall Farm Blakeneys, assistant manager Michael Brown stepped down from his role immediately after the game.
Hylton Colliery Juniors continue to climb steadily up the table as they recorded yet another win as they easily ran out 5-0 winners away to a lifeless Usworth.
Stuart Terry starred for Usworth but he couldn’t prevent the defeat as Hylton won the game with strikes from Marc Goodwin (2), Dave Ward (2) and an own goal. Liam Foster starred for the Juniors.
FIRST DIVISION
FC Chesters are hitting form and it showed as they defeated a much fancied Golden Fleece 6-2 at Leyburn Grove.
Chesters got off to a great start with all the play in the first few minutes with an early cross coming in for striker Ethan Lee but he somehow put his effort wide and Dunlop saw his flick hit the Fleece crossbar. The hard work and good play by Chesters was to be undone as the Fleece to the lead just before half time as Dan Fagan tucked away a penalty. A piece of sheer brilliance form Paul Maw saw the Chesters equalise immediately and right on half time Ethan Lee pounced on a defensive howler and he squared the ball to Maw who scored his second wth an easy tap in.
Early in the second half, Lee and Maw combined well again with the latter grabbing his hattrick with a Cantona style lob from 30 yards. The Chesters slackened off and they were punished as Shaun Wilkie scored to give the Fleece a glimmer of hope. Changes were made by the Chesters hierarchy and they paid off straight away as Ethan Lee scored to give his side a two goal cushion. >From then on it was one way traffic as the Fleece struggled to cope with their visitors relentless play and it wasn’t long before it was 5-2 as Steve Murphy blasted in from an acute angle. Ethan Lee capped off an impressive display as he scored his second goal of the game to complete a well deserved victory.
A special mention must go to referee Colin Archbold, who after the game wrote out his report and had a shower and went to leave the changing rooms only to be plunged into total darkness as he was locked inside the building with the groundsman on his way home to catch the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. After ringing the police and Peter Maguire for help – he managed to find his way out through an emergency exit thanks to his new Timex Indiglo watch he had just bought from Argos and off home he went. Here is a little tip for you Colin, next time you have a shower....’SING’.
Thorney Close Inn welcomed inform Dray & Horses to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ but it was the latter who had nightmares as they were beaten 6-0 by a rampant Thorney side.
Both teams started very committed and the new look Dray and Horses were playing some good football, however Thorneys man of the match John Bewick started to find time and space on the ball and his exquisite through ball found speed demon Dale Spence who cut in from the right and slotted the ball in the far corner. Spence soon had his second on 15 minutes, great play from Nicholson and Paul Brooke and the ball made its way through to Spence who crashed the ball into the roof of the net from 6 yards. The stuffing was well and truly knocked out of the Dray and it got worse for them as Spence completed his hattrick after good work from Bewick. Paul Brooke hit his 23rd goal of the season just before half time, a good finish inside the area after great work from Spence.
The second half failed to spark into life with Thorney passing the ball round well and creating mainly half chances. 17 year old sub Gaige Lisle provided the spark and he exploded through the Dray defence from a Bewick pass and scored a excellent debut goal. Bewick rounded of his exceptional performance with an 18 yard strike that found the bottom corner after good work from Lisle.
FC Whitburn caused an upset as they defeated East Durham Spartans 6-4. Sean Williams was the hero as he grabbed four goals in what can only be described as a complete centre forward display, two goals from Grant Pressling completed the win.
Spartans replied with goals from top scorer Philip Robinson (2), Jon Holland and Jamie Cresswell, this was a second successive defeat for the Spartans and will quickly need to get back to winning ways if they are to maintain a promotion push.
Country Park Inn eased to a 3-0 win at home to Hollycarside who are under new management.
Seaham Harkers Bar remain unbeaten as they had to settle for a 3-3 draw against a resolute and never say die Times Inn.
TWR COMMERCIAL LEAGUE CHALLENGE CUP
Hendon FC safely made it through to the next round as player manager Marcus Turnbull dusted down his Patrick Keegan boots to inspire his side to a 4-0 win against first division side Oddfellows Arms.
Hendons scorers were Brian Carter, Gareth Hill, David Rush and Jason Gargett. Martin Jackson made a successful return from his wrestling injury nightmare to produce a man of the match performance.
Mark Swindle starred for Oddfellows.
The Saltgrass also progressed as they beat a sorry Victoria Gardens 8-1. John Hope was tormentor in chief as he scored four goals, further goals came from Tony Wilkinson and Louis Thornton who both hit two goals each. Victoria Gardens replied through Mark Wasey.
