High Shincliffe Avenue 4  v  2 Quarrington Hill The game started with a very early Q.Hill as stand-in 'keeper Adam Laing failed to clear his lines instead knocking it straight to the striker's feet who rounded him and finished to take the early lead. The Avenue pressed hard with new signing Diego Santamaria impressing with some great trickery up front. Craig Browne fed a neat pass through to player-manager Paul Roughley who's chip round the far corner of the Q.Hill net with a helping hand of the 'keeper's glove. High Shincliffe went looking for more, Joe Barber passed into Santamaria on the edge of the 6-yard box and he coolly finished with the outside of his right boot to claim a deserved debut goal in off the post. It was all Avenue with a few counters from Quarrington Hill which saw a goal-line block from Browne with his chest preventing a certain goal. Santamaria also had what looked to be a perfectly timed run and finish ruled out for offside moments later. Q.Hill drew level with around 5 minutes of the first half to play. A high ball in from their winger 'caught out' Laing who fumbled to gift another goal to the away side. Laing taking one for the team on the day found his composure and managed to see the rest of the game out without much worry. The Avenue came out strong early in the second half, Santamaria having two efforts cleared of the line by Q.Hill number 6 and ultimately their Man of the Match. The Avenue defence was solid, the midfield busy, and Santamaria mesmerising. He rounded two men and slotted the ball through to Roughley, who, two yards out, fluffed his lines to ensure he'll picking up at least the wooden spoon at the end of the season. Quarrington Hill worked hard trying to find an opening but it wasn't to be. The Avenue took a 3-2 lead after a low Joe Barber corner took a deflection of the man on the post and squirmed in. Craig and Robson entered play for Buckle and Roughley, shoring up the backline for the Ave. There were numerous more chances with Browne hitting the bar with a powerful header off another J.Barber corner. The game was sealed on around 82 mins when right-back Phil Blacklock went galavanting forward, he made a neat interchange with Browne and slotted home to claim his first goal for the club. The delight on his face was clear for all to see. A good all round performance from the Avenue and a good 3 points. A game defined by mistakes. Q hill took an early lead through Carl Tingley but Shincliffe pulled it round to lead 2-1 at half time. Q hill got it back to 2-2, Lewis Newton netting the equaliser but an own goal and a defensive error gave Shincliffe the 4-2 win.Q hill man of the match Steven Gardiner Pittington FC   3 v 1  Durham County Seniors FC Pittington inflicted Durham County’s first league defeat of the season and the visitors could have no arguments about the result, the home team stormed into a 3-0 lead at half-time, with Durham offering very little in the way of clear goal scoring opportunities, they did grab a goal back mid-way through the second half, Mark Hughes with a fine strike from 18yards from an Adam Whale through ball. Durham pressed forward searching for more but Pittington defended magnificently and ran out deserved winners. it was a scrappy game at times, but most of it was played with some good football by both teams, a well taken goal by gareth sheraton broke the deadlock in the 1st half to give pittington the lead, then a goalkeeping mistake from dcs goalkeeper, gifted martin clough an easy finish to give pittington a 2 - 0 lead, and just before half time a deflected shot from phil harbisher give pittington a 3 - 0 at half time, in the second half durham county came out strong, but some strong defending from pittington was enough to only concede a consolation goal
