Coxhoe scored the first goal of the game, as the Vic defence appealed for offside, Ord gathered the ball on the left wing and knocked in a fine cross for Strong to finish from close range. Liddle almost levelled soon after with a rasping drive that fizzed just past the far post. The game was being contested mostly in the middle of the park with not many clear cut chances, and it took until 85 minutes for the Vic to get a breakthrough, Douglas beating Orton in the Coxhoe goal to a cross that eventually found its way into the net with the help of a deflection from a defender. Coxhoe almost scored after a poor backpass and a scramble ended, The Vic scored right on Time to give them a 2-1 win. Chester Hilda Park had a well-deserved 4-3 away win at Houghton Mill All Stars.

With opposition players arriving late and with nobody on their sideline for the first few 20 minutes or so we didn’t get our own game going but once we scored the first 2 goals either side of the 20 minute mark the match thereafter proved to be pretty plain sailing and it was then just a matter of our many we could score to get our goal difference up.An opportunistic strike from outside the box from Sam Renwick found the bottom left corner of the net to start the scoring. Then Nixon scored after rounding the keeper following a through ball by Gary Draper. The next 20 minutes were quiet with Sedgefield asking a few questions of our new look defense which coped well from crosses and free kicks coming into our box. The goal of the match was scored on 40 minutes when Robert Nixon picked up the ball 25 yards from goal after a pass from Embleton and he belted a right footed volley which arrowed into the top left hand corner of the net to make it 3-0. Then 3 minutes later Embleton received a short corner from Thornton on the edge of the box and he then placed his shot along the ground into the bottom corner to make the score 4-0 at half time. The pattern of the game continued in the 2nd half, some great work by Grant Boyd down the left hand side resulted in Renwick picking the ball up on the edge of the box and he powered a shot into the bottom corner of the near post. Robert Nixon completed his hatrick on 55 minutes with a simple tap in following some great work by Renwick who had burst into the box and squared the ball to Nixon to make it 6-0. Nixon then returned the favor to Renwick on 60 minutes when he played the ball to Renwick who then had a shot from the edge of the box which the goalkeeper let through his body and into the net to make it 3 for Renwick and 7 for the team. Then on 63 minutes we conceded a goal when the Sedgefield player scored a headed goal from 5 yards out straight from a right wing corner. This proved to be the only minor setback of the match. On 68 minutes Sacriston went 9-1 ahead when a cross from the left hand side found Danny O’Brien unmarked at the back post and his volley was well saved by the Sedgefield keeper but Renwick was there again to tap in the rebound from close range.Graeme Embleton completed the scoring with 2 well taken goals both assisted by Renwick to complete his hatrick and make the final score 11-1.
