Washington Ox & Plough 0 V 3 Pity Me Lambton Hounds This Was A Good, Well Deserved First Win Of The Season For The Lambton Hounds. For The Majority Of The Game The Away Side Was On The Front Foot, Their Wingers Constantly Getting In Behind The Full Backs With A Combination Of Skill And Pace. The Home Side’s Defense Looked Shaky, And The Odd Time They Did Get Through On Goal, They Couldn’t Find A Way Past Lambton Hounds New Goalkeeper Who Was Making His Debut. By Half Time It Was 2-0 To The Away Side After A Headed Goal And What Could Have Possibly Gone Down As An Own Goal. Both These Goals Were Scored By Gary Taylor. The Second Half Was A Bit More Even, With The Home Side Taking Advantage Of The Slight Downhill Slope In Their Favor. They Had More Chances Than In The First, But A Combination Of Great Goalkeeping By The Debutant And The Penalty Area Being Very Wet And Muddy Thwarted Most Of Their Attacks. Throughout This The Lambton Hounds Were Still Having Success, And Reward Came Again For Gary Taylor From The Penalty Spot After A Handball. The Penalty Initially Was Well Saved By The Home Keeper, But The Ball Just Bounced Straight Back For Taylor To Tap It In For His Hat Trick. Washington Honest Boy 4 V 1 Kellow Davy Lamp Honest Boy Won 4-1 Against Kelloe Davy Lamp. Went Down 0-1 After 10 Seconds But Pulled Back With An Own Goal, A Goal By Jamie Wood And 2 Goals From Lee Simpson Quarrington Hill WMC FC 1 V 4 Durham County Seniors FC Durham County Have Been Somewhat Disappointing In Recent Weeks, So Much So That Questions Were Asked After Last Week’s 1-1 Draw, But The Response From The Players When It Came Was Decisive, Three First Half Goals Without Reply Left Quarrington Hill On The Roped. First Brian Gillespie Thumped Home A Deflected Free Kick, Leading Scorer Mark Hughes Then Provided The Perfect Finish To A Flowing Move Firing Into The Bottom Corner, He Then Grabbed Another Before The Break With A Curling Shot After A Mazy Run. The Icing On The Cake Was Hughes Hat-Trick When He Converted Lee Walkers Low Cross With A First Time Finish, Prior To That Quarrington Hill Hit The Post With A Deep Cross And David Flowers Saved Well From Chris Taylor, But They Were Rewarded With A Well Worked Goal, Luke Tinkler Provided A Delightfully Lifted Through Ball Which Caught Durham Napping But This Proved To Be Nothing More Than A Consolation For The Home Side. It Could Have Been Worse For Quarrington Hill With The Referee Disallowing Durham Two Goals And A Fine Individual Display By Jordan Nicholson In The Home Goal. Game Where Q Hill Matched County For 30 Minutes But 3 Goals In 15 Mins Gave County A 0-3 Lead. Second Half Was Again Well Contested And When Chris Winter Scored For The Q's It Looked Like A Comeback Might Be On, But A 4th Goal For County 10 Mins From Time Secured The Win.

New Tavern Capitalized On The Short Numbers In Avenue's Defense To Take The Early Goal. Both Sides Enjoyed Reasonable Possession As Plenty Of Chances Were Created At Both Ends. New Tavern Then Took A Second Goal On Around 20 Minutes And Soon After Hit The Woodwork Too. The Avenue Pressed For Much Of The Later Stages Of The First Half But The Washington Defense Were Blocking Everything And The Keeper Having A Storming Match Too. The Second Half Was Much The Same, The Washington Keeper Pulling Off A World-Class Save To Deny A Paul Roughley Drive That Looked Destined For The Top Corner. New Tavern Had A Counter Attack Shortly After And Their No.10 Broke Through After A Slip By Josh Craig And Coolly Finished To Make It 3-0. Hetton New Inn Afc 3 V2 Chester Relton Terrace Hetton New Inn Dominated The Game In The First Half With The First Goal Coming In The Couple Of Minutes Of The Game With Some Good Team Work Then A Couple Of Minutes Later Another Goal Scoring Opportunity Was Denied By The Hand Of A Chester Relton Player And A Penalty Was Given Which Made It 2 - 0 To Hetton.
