FRIDAY 23rd MARCH 2012
A massive crowd of well over 600 enthusiastic supporters are well entertained by Coxhoe Wmc and New Durham Wmc in the final of the Durham Sunday League Guards Cup Sponsored by JD Taxis. Both sides playing attractive football throughout but it’s the better New Durham Wmc finishing that earns them a second cup final win of the season having won last week’s Presidents Cup.
New Durham start the brightest and go close to opening the scoring after fifteen minutes when Danny Chester sets up Nicholas Marley, however Coxhoe keeper Ryan Hindhaugh is out quickly to bravely smoother the shot. A period of Coxhoe pressure is almost rewarded when a great Michael Owens header beats keeper Scot Thompson but rebounds off the cross bar to safety. From the resultant clearance New Durham’s Andrew Ward storms down the field to set up the first goal with an inch perfect pass to Graeme Brenkley who strokes the ball home to make it 0-1. Coxhoe start the second half strongly, winger Paul Broom constantly probing with a succession of crosses but New Durham’s defenders marshaled by man of the match Stewart Birkitt repel them all. On the sixty minute mark New Durham’s Andrew Ward sends over a long range free kick which finds Nicholas Marley unmarked in the box, he makes no mistake with a powerful header into the far corner of the net. Five minutes later Coxhoe are back in it, Michael Owens setting up Colin Young to make it 1-2. Coxhoe pile on the pressure but to no avail, with time running out the result is put beyond with Graeme Brenkley’s second goal to make 1-3.
