Kelloe wmc 3 v 3South Bank AET South Bank won 6-5 on penalties
After a scrappy first 5 mins, kelloe started to pressure the visitors. This was rewarded when a through ball from ward reached Barton, Barton shrugged off a defender and coolly slotted home. Kelloe were dominating from then on, with megran and Barton both going close. Kelloe doubled their lead when ward rose to power in a header at the back post from a megran free kick. Kelloe went close again when the south bank keeper pushed a 30 harder from ward onto the crossbar. Just before half time, Ryder had a goal disallowed after ward was adjudged to fouling a defender. Into the second half, kelloe resorted to some schoolboy defending which resulted in south bank taking charge of the game with 3 quick fire goals in 10 minutes to knock the stuffing out of kelloe. From then on it looked as though kelloe were down and out, but in the 81st minute were rewarded for their efforts when Barton powered in a header from gibsons left wing cross.that took the game into extra time in which kelloe dominated a tired looking south bank side but south bank survived a last minute goal line clearance to take the game into penalties. It was south bank who held their nerve to win the shootout 5-4 to leave the kelloe side distraught.

A true cup encounter that had everything; Durham took the lead against their division 1 opposition when Scott Arnott capitalised on some poor defending to finish from close range, but Chilton hit back in impressive form with three goals, the second an unstoppable drive from distance, and the tie looked over but Durham showed incredible character to storm into a 4-3 lead with 10minutes left to play, Scott Arnott converting two penalties and in between Mark Hughes with a fine strike, but the home sides resolve was broken with an expertly taken free kick from 20yards out that found the top corner leaving the keeper no chance to take the tie into extra time. Durham created the best opening of the first period when Daniel Cummings struck a post after some neat inter-play, Chilton hit back with a rocket that cannoned off the cross-bar and they eventually won it with a penalty in the second period and then caught Durham on the counter as they pushed for an equaliser, the substitute finishing well form 8yards with his first touch.

Burnside wmc  9  v1 Chester Plough inn
good all round performance after going 1 down after 5 mins

Chester Plough Inn injury woes continued as they patched up a team and made the short trip to Burnside wmc. The away side opened the scoring in the first minute when Gary McIlduff took advantage of some sloppy defending. The Riversiders held out until the 20th minute before Burnside equalised but from then on the floodgates opened as the fitness and injuries took its toll. The Plough finished the game with ten men as McIlduff limped off. Take nothing away from Burnside as they played some great passing football today.

Gilesgate Moor Queens Head 0 v 1 New Durham wmc
alocal derby,, take 3 after being called off twice, it was finally here, and it was a cracking game, for the 200 surporters, that turned out for both sides. first half was scrappy but its was durham who thought they had took the lead through brenkley but the moor keeper pulling of a great save... 2nd half it was even up until 60 mins when brenkley pounced on a back pass to fire durham into the lead, gilesgate pushed on, but durham were solid in defence.. final score 0-1
East Rainton fc 2 v 3 Sedgefield net park fc
Sedgefield net park travelled to eastrainton and come away with a great win, Eastrainton missed several early chances before net park took the lead against the run of play with a superb overhead kick which flew in top corner shortly before half time, Rainton continued to press forward and create chances but missed them again and again with the net park goalkeeper in fine form, net park broke forward and scored a second goal with a wonderful solo goal from the striker to make it 2-0 to net park, then shortly after they went 3-0 up after shocking defending allowed the striker to notch again, Rainton managed a spirited fightback with goals from substitutes Shepherd and Carroll who scored another only for it to be ruled out for offside, Eley also went close for rainton with a 30 yard drive which flew inches wide, the referee blew then for full time to give net park a vital win,

NETPark struggled with loads of late drop outs but had 11 to lay the game. With NETPark been routed to the bottom of th league this was the last thing that they needed but credit to the eleven lads that played cos they put a fantastic shift in as well as playing some great football. NETPark went 4-5-1 to try to contain Rainton in the early part of the game and just see how the game pans out. It was NETPark who started the better team with Richardson causing problems upfront and the midfield keeping good possession. On 15mins it was 0-1 with Steve Parkin scoring a quality goal, the rest of the half was pretty even H/T 0-1. NETPark knew if they kept battling away and they could keep everyone fit and on the pitch then they had a chance in this game, it looked more likely when Parkin added his second 0-2 on 50mins. Changes at both ends for both teams but it was NETPark again who scored through a fantastic goal by Alan Jones 0-3.
NETPark were tiring and struggling to keep possession it was Rainton who scored next 3-1 on 70mins within minutes they added a second 2-3, it was now looking like Rainton might get something from the game, they certainly piled the pressure on but credit to every NETPark player they all found a second and third gear from somewhere!! F/T 2-3
Sacriston WMC 1  V 3 Ferryhill Saints
The first half was a pretty even affair and Sacriston took the lead on the half hour when Tim Asquith sent in a in-swinging corner and Finch powered home from 6 yards out. The second half saw Ferryhill take over and they scored 3 unanswered goals. The first being a penalty after Sharp was adjudged of deliberate handball, then with 20 minutes remaining the Ferryhill midfielder found his way past 3 players and his deflected shot found the roof of the net. The third came five minutes later with the forward scoring from a tight angle.
Sacriston could only manage one shot in the second half when Renwick's shot hit the post.

Chester  Hilda Park  4 V 1  Shadforth Plough Inn
A Plough team with some key players missing travelled to Hilda Park, knowing for the 2nd league running a win would send them top, Martin Denney converted a Moore cross for his 4th of the campaign, however Hilda Park fought back to level at half time 1-1. Hilda Park went on to win 4-1 in a second half where some of the Plough player who haven't been used to much game time this season started tiring. Taking nothing away from Hilda Park they got from the game what they deserved, a title challenge from the Plough would almost certainly come to an end if they don't win this comong Sunday back on home turf.With new signings making debuts today, the game started and we contolled the pace and dictated the however Shadforth pinched the ball on the wing and capatalised on poor defenceive play scoring and going 1 nil up against the run of play. Hilda percieved witht there game plan and a brilliant shot by Mark Pryor levelled the scores at 1-1. With a tireless Jonny Yip running the Shadforth Defence ragged further goals by Mark Pryor, Stephen Gregory and Connor McTeer made the final score 4-1
