Hetton Lyons Cricket Club entertained Langley Park Wmc a very competitive game as both teams fighting for the points for different reasons, Langley Park trying to avoid relegation and the Lyons to win the league. Hetton started well and scored after 10 minutes, Graydon played the ball thru to Nicky Kane who beat the defender and he squared the ball to Liam Beeston who slotted the ball home 0-1. The Lyons kept the pressure on the Langley Park defence and went 2 up after 33 minutes when Graydon once again the architect in the centre of midfield shoved a ball thru to Beeston  and his pass to the never ageing Jamie Clarke who duly scored 0-2, Jamie was unlucky 5 Minutes later when his shot hit the post. Langley Park had their first real effort on 42 minutes but was well saved from Keith Finch. Second half and the home side kept pushing forward for a goal but the Lyons defence gave them very few opportunities Clarke thought he scored in the dying minutes but the referee said it wasn't behind the goal line. Three good points for the Lyons and towards retaining the premiership

In the First Division Chester Osborne were beaten 4-1 at Burnside Wmc, Gilesgate Moor Hotel won 2-1 at the Biddick Inn.

            In the Second Division the only Game saw Washington Victoria win 9-3 at Durham Bede Lodge.

            In the Fourth Division Framwellgate Moor Salutation entertained Ferryhill Post Boy In a thrilling encounter it was the post boy who struck first after just 3 minutes, when a speculative long range effort found the bottom corner. The Salutation levelled mid way through the first half with a great finish from Gareth Bowden. Post Boy hit back with 2 goals before the break, with there 3rd coming from an excellent finish to lob the keeper first time. The game looked over but the salutation refused to lie down and brought it back to 3-2 with a Mark Hughes run and cool one on one finish with the keeper. The salutation equalizer came with 15 min left, a good run down the right the ball was pulled back to the edge of the 6 yard box and it was Salutations man of the match Dave Grindley who popped up to slot home. A good performance and result from the salutation against a team who clinched the league title on the day with a point. Langley Park Rams Head won 3-1 at Kelloe Davy Lamp.
