In the JD Taxis sponsored Guards Cup Witton Gilbert Wmc entertained Ferryhill Postboy, Witton having transferred goalkeeper Bryan Potts to Sacriston WMC in midweek and also missing the influential David Duke through injury this was always going to be a tall order. The Post Boy took the lead but Witton deservedly drew level after 15 minutes when the very impressive Scott Embleton scored from close range. Wittons Hopes were further dented when James Smith who had started very brightly was forced off with injury to be replaced by David Callcutt. Post Boy scored Just before Half time. At the interval Witton turned round facing a 1-2 deficit but were creating the chances but unfortunately not taking them. Adam Milburn headed wide from a great angle and Grant Boyd also glanced a header wide and then saw a mazy run stopped by a last ditch tackle. Wittons luck seems to be going at the minute as they conceded a 3rd, Dave Callcutt then pounced on an error to score at the near post and Liam Summers grabbed an equaliser at the death to take us into extra time. Witton lost Wes Haley who had been superb at centre half causing a complete reshuffle at the back. Extra time did Witton no favours as they conceded 2 unlucky own goals to rebounds in the first period and from there we gambled and threw people forward and were undone again to give the score a very unrealistic look. Final score 7-3 to the Post Boy. Langley Park Steelers won 6-1 at Ferryhill Dynamos, and Washington Victoria were 3-2 winners at Houghton Chilton Lodge.
