 League Cup Sponsored by Spennymoor Town Kelloe v Pelton RAOB, Kelloe Wmc and Pelton RAOB entertained the large and at times somewhat partisan crowd with football of the highest quality in the final of the League Cup sponsored by Spennymoor Town FC played at Durham’s New Ferons Park. After the game both teams were commended by the league management committee for a putting on great performance after such a heavy schedule of games leading up to the final. Kelloe began the game strongly and kept the high pace going for much of the first half, Pelton well organised in defence and with tenacious challenges in midfield soaked up the pressure. Kelloe’s Ian Ward was a real handful in and around the box and had a great goal bound effort finger tipped over the bar by keeper and man of the match Scott Cresswell four minutes before half time. Earlier Pelton had seen a Josh Watson effort saved by an equally impressive Kelloe keeper Carl Morris. The second continues with Kelloe pushing hard, Pelton’s resistance has to be admired however the deadlock is broken on the fifty five minute mark. Kelloe’s Alex Wilson delivers a great ball into the box for Ian Ward to head home. From the restart Pelton almost equalise with a Craig Mickle effort that’s narrowly wide and two minutes later a long range Craig Marron effort is palmed by keeper Morris onto the post and out for a corner. Pelton continue pushing hard and Karl Ritchie is denied an equaliser by a wonderful Carl Morris save after sixty five minutes. Kelloe whether the storm and begin to reassert themselves but a series of great saves from keeper Cresswell keep Pelton in the game. Keiran Megran had a great chance to put the result beyond doubt after eighty five minutes after being set up by the impressive Stuart Thompson but he blasted his shot over the bar with the goal at his mercy. A minute late Stuart Thompson seals Kelloe’s victory with a powerful shot from the edge of the box. A wonderful game with good performances all over the field and a great advertisement for the Durham and District Sunday Football League
