FA Sunday cup 1st rd. Burradon & New Fordley FC  0 - 1 Hetton Lyons Cricket Club FC, Hetton Lyons progressed in to the next round of the competition thanks to a 30 yard screamer from substitute Marc Ellison.

Marc Ellison

Second half and Hetton should have taken the lead on 51 minutes, a cross from the right hand side from Joe Walton and unmarked Ian Watson put his header wide of the goal. Fordley came close 5 minutes later with a free kick and saw it go wide of the post. The Lyons made 3 substitutions well into the second half and the pace of the game seemed much quicker and much better movement up front and in the 86th minute Marc Ellison picked the ball up in the midfield and hit the ball from thirty yards and his shot gave the goalkeeper no chance 0-1. The last ten minutes of the game which included five minutes added on saw Fordley throw everything at the Lyons but Chris Hunter and Daniel Moore and the heart of the Lyons defense were superb and duly cleared everything. Full time 0-1. In the Next Round Hetton are at Home to Chapel Town Fforde Grene who play in The Leeds Combination League, Division Jubilee, Chapel Town beat Deng United 3-1 In The Last Round With  A Hat Trick From Their Top Striker   Dempsey Smith Kelloe Wmc Entertained Hartlepool Rovers Qouits and were also 1-0 winners, in the next round Kelloe face a tough game as they  Travel to play Eden Vale Who are members of the Liverpool FA and play in the Ormskirk & District Sunday League.

Sacriston Cricket Club entertained Wear Valley Fc The referee kicked the game off sharp and Sacriston quickly began to get the ball down and pass it about to try and get a good look at Wear Valley and open them up at the back.  Gary Collinson who was the star performer of the match was moving the ball around well in his preferred central midfield position and was linking up well with Graham Embleton,Gary Draper and Kevin Coates who was finding room on the right flank and was able to get in some telling crosses to test the Wear Valley backline. Such a move led to Sacriston's first goal as the ball was played down the right and was put into the near post for Draper who got to the ball first to bring it down under pressure from a Wear Valley defender who tried to nick the ball but only managed to clip Draper and bring him down with the referee awarding a penalty. Draper dusted himself down and clinically despatched the penalty past the Wear Valley keeper who went the right way, but could not get a hand to the ball. Wear Valley FC responded well and were finding space between the Sacriston defence and midfield. Sacriston conceded a couple of corners that they defended well and were grabbing every opportunity to press Wear Valley with some delightful two-touch passing football. Sacriston were then awarded another penalty when a ball was played in to Andrew Collinson in the 18 yard box, who was about to bring it down with his back to goal, but a Wear Valley defender clumsily pushed Collinson and the ref immediately pointed to the spot. Gary Draper again stepped up to despatch the penalty, putting the keeper the wrong way on this occasion. Sacriston went in at half-time with a comfortable two nil lead,. Soon into the second half Chris Yates made his long awaited comeback from injury coming on for Robert Nixon. He made an immediate impact and was running at and getting in behind the Wear Valley defence. Yates endeavour paid off when he scored Sacristan’s third after good running and a bit of luck as his initial shot came back off the keeper and hit him to bounce into the net. Final Score 3-0.Chilton Lodge were 3-0 Home winners over Jubilee Fc.

      Chester Plough Inn entertained Durham Bede Lodge in the League’s second division fixture hoping to repeat their cup win over Bede Lodge earlier in the season. The home side got the game underway and were very sloppy in the opening stages giving away possession too easily. The Plough started to take control of the game with Mark Atchison enjoying a lot of space on the left flank. The deadlock was broken in the 15th minute with a well worked goal from The Plough. Some great passing play sent Mark Atchison racing down the left flank before pulling a superb ball across the six yard area for Chris Cuthbert son to poke in from close range. The goal seemed to settle the home side as they grew in confidence and it didn’t take long for them to double their lead with another well worked goal. The goal was virtually a carbon copy of the first one as Mark Atchison beat the full back before pulling the ball back for Sam Baddams to bundle over the line for a few yards out. The Plough looked to be in cruise control mode as they were pulling the Bede Lodge players all over the players. Ben Lloyd was timing his runs to perfection but the referee kept blowing for offside which was frustrating the home side. The Plough had the perfect opportunity to really bury Bede Lodge when Lloyd played in Gary McIlduff but with the whole goal gaping he shot high and wide. In the 29th minute Bede Lodge pulled a goal back with their first shot on goal. The Ball was pumped into the Plough Penalty area and fell kindly Jonathan Kelly to blast home from close range. This gave the away side a tremendous lift as they started to enjoy more of the possession and pose a threat in the wide areas. It didn’t take long for them to grab an equaliser and it has to go down as a goalkeeping error. A long punt up field towards goal was fumbled in the air by Plough Keeper Stuart Lambert and the ball fell kindly for Kevin Kerr to knock in from a yard out. The Plough did regain the lead shortly after with another fine move. This time Gary McIlduff did well to beat his marker on the right before pulling the ball back for Ben Lloyd to smash in from close range. Concentration was needed up until half time but unfortunately there was a severe lack of it as the away side came straight back and got their equaliser. The ball was switched from left to right and with Dave Vaughan standing on his own just inside the area he hit a sweet right foot shot first time into the corner of the net beating the Plough Keeper/T 3-3. The second half neither side could produce the winner Final score 3-3.Ouston Fc and visitors Sherburn Lambton Arms shared the points in a 1-1 Draw.
