With only 11 players available for selection Sedgefield Netpark for the Cup Tie at Lumley Fc .Netpark knew they would have a roll up their sleeves and dig in. Maybe it was just the incentive the Club needed as they gained their first victory of the season. The 1st half was very even with Lumley Fc taking the lead three times with Netpark replying.

There were some very good goals scored by both sides albeit at times with help of some poor defending. The score was 3-3 at H/T, Net park got into their stride straight away and were 5-3 up with 20mins remaining, Todd Young opened his account for Net park with a brilliant individual goal. Three Net park players were struggling with knocks but with no subs they all had to continue, Lumley put on some fresh legs but Net Park stood firm. Net park had two clear headers that missed the target any of them going in would have killed the game off early but Lumley did have a few chances near the end but overall Net park deserved the victory and a place in the 3rd Round.Pelton ROAB  were reduced to 10 Men  and needed extra Time to beat  Brandon Bay Horse, Pelton Goals coming from Ball Peck Lines And Extra Time Winner From Graver.Ferryhill Wmc were 3-1 winners at Ushaw Moor Cricket Club.Washington Jkr crashed to a 3-0 Defeat at Sedgefield st Edmunds.

Langley Park Steelers were 2-1 winners at Sacriston Cricket Club, Chester Plough Inn entertained an under strength Waterhouses FC in the League Cup With only ten minutes on the clock the home side took the lead when Chris Howey's corner was headed home by MICHAEL CURL. The early goal gave the reds a big confidence boost and managed to double the lead in the 20th minute. Jamie Seymour broke down the left flank and burst into the box before pulling the ball back for MARK ATCHISON to drive the ball past the keeper. Midfield maestro Ben Lloyd was pulling the strings in the middle of the park and set DANIEL HILL through on goal who made no mistake. Ben Lloyd was involved again as he supplied the through ball for DANIEL HILL to race on to and coolly lob the away keeper. It was once again Ben Lloyd who set up JOEL BADDAMS with another defence splitting pass, with pacey midfielder racing clear before slotting home. It was now turning into a rout for the home side as Jamie Seymour twisted and turned in the area before squaring for MICHAEL CURL to fire home from close range. Half Time 6-0 to the Plough Waterhouses started the second period and were immediately on the back foot against a rampant Plough Inn. In the opening stages CHRIS HOWEY notched his first goal for the club when his cross from deep on the right sailed over the keeper and into the roof of the net. Three changes by the home side didn’t affect the balance of play and it was substitute John Adamson who linked well with MARK ATCHISON to fire into the corner of the net. Midfield man Ben Lloyd set NATHAN BADDAMS free on the left as he coolly curled the ball over the Waterhouses keeper. The home side were now looking for double figures and didn’t have long to wait as Michael Curl went on a dazzling run from centre half before crossing to JOHN ADAMSON to poke home from close range. New boy Craig Johnson was enjoying his midfield role and created an opening for MARK ATCHISON to complete his hat-trick as he fired home past Anthony Wilson in the away goal. Man of the match Mark Atchison turned provider as he burst down the left flank before playing in JOHN ADAMSON who finished superbly past the Keeper.Sacriston Wmc Lost 3-2 at Durham Bede Lodge.
