Charlton went close but he farringdon keeper denied him with a good save. The visiting keeper couldn't do nothing when megran broke from midfield and finished well to put kelloe 1-0 up.

The 2nd half started with both teams playing good football, but farringdons game plan was hit in a crazy 10 minutes when 2 of their side were dismissed, 1 for retaliation and the 2nd for a last man foul.

It wasn't until the 85th minute kelloe found the net again, Barton converting a penalty after Gibson was fouled.

Pelton raob  0 V 0 Washington JFC Wjfc travelled the short distance to Pelton raob in this latest premiership lgue fixture, the game was competitive from start to finish with both teams playing some good football, Pelton had most of the possession in the first half but without troubling the wjfc keeper Smith unduly. The second half saw wjfc come into the game a lot more and possession was nearer 50/50 but once again neither keeper had a lot to do and the game ran out a fair drawn game 0-0 being the final result. First Division sacriston cccfc 2  v0  sacriston wmc A great advert for a local derby. The cricket club were a better team all game but struggled to find the net. Sacriston wmc defended well but Anthony Ward scored the first before half time with a long punt from Hall.

The second half saw the CC control the game and scored with 20 minutes to go when the goalkeeper came for a cross which he claimed and then the ball was knocked out of his hands and the CC forward Ward chipped the ball over him and into the net.

Second Division Sedgefield Social Club 2 V 3 Houghton Chilton Lodge Sedgefield led 1.0 at half time and both teams were fairly evenly matched. In the second half Houghton started to create chances and when Sedgefield had a penalty decision turned down, Houghton quickly broke away and equalised. Houghton forward line looked the more threatening and soon added two further goals to lead 3.1. Sedgefield continued to press and scored from a freekick just outside the box to make it 3.2 to Houghton. Which is how the game ended. Houghton Chilton Lodge suffered a first half hangover against Sedgefield Social as all the squad had been out the night before celebrating John Fox 30th birthday. The Chilton Lodge never had a shot on target & their passing was wayward on a bobbly pitch. Sedgefield Social went in 1-0 up thanks to a finish one on one with the goalkeeper. 2nd half saw a much improved Chilton Lodge performance and they were shortly on level terms when a through ball from Craig Magic Johnson saw young Iain Super Mac race clear to smash the ball into the far corner from an angle.

Sedgefield Social pulled one back late on when the referee awarded a very dubious freekick just outside the box, a tame strike from the freekick was then sliced into his own net by Martin Armstrong however the Chilton Lodge came away with the important 3 points. FT 2-3. Bowburn fc  2 v 9 Ushaw Moor Bowburn with a large number of players missing were always going to struggle David Robinson played in goal despite carrying a injury and Ushaw Moor just pressed at the young Bowburn team tried to hold out 2 more injuries at half time but the result was never in doubt two very good gols from Andrew Dunn for Bowburn only beig the highlight of the game for them DUBMIRE FC   7 V 1 WASHINGTON LAMBTON VILLAGE FC James Gardiner continued his goalscoring streak with another five goals despite having 2 goals disallowed .A 25 yard shot from Daniel Price set Dubmire on there way ,Kenny Dunleavy added a fine header in between the Gardiner goal show .Stephen Donkin and Jake Croft shone in a good Dubmire performance Sherburn Lambton arms 3 v 0 Chester Hilda park A pretty one sided game, All the chances came from Sherburn. Chester did battle hard but they didn't look to score at any point. Sherburn did score half way through the first half from a corner. Chester keep Sherburn at bay most of the way through, a sub came on Neil Haswell to add some fresh legs to the Sherburn team. Putting more pressure on the Chester defence the ball came clear to an unmarked Haswell just inside the box and a clinical finish put the game out of reach of Chester. The 3rd goal came from a battle between Gary Dodds and two defenders in which Gary came for the better new Brancepeth fc  3 v  3 Pelaw Grange dogs FC This was a topsy turvy game with New Brancepeth going ahead after 5 minutes and then Chris Harvey pulling one back for Pelaw Grange Dogs Fc . Then in the second half Pelaw Grange Dogs went 3-1 with a great volley from David Jeffers and then Chris Harvey following in on a parried shot to make it 1-3 to Pelaw. In injury time of nearly 10 minutes New Brancepeth threw everything at Pelaw Grange Dogs and ended up scoring twice as Pelaw stopped playing their football and sat back waiting for the whistle to go. This was two points dropped by Pelaw which should of been a comfortable win at 3 - 1 up and they had at least 3 other chances that they should of scored from.   Divison Three Bishop Middleham Fc 1 v 3 Bird Inn Middleham took the lead through the in form John cook and desevidly so , although the bird inn equalised before half time after another goalkeeping mistake , the story of middlehams season so far they never turned up for the second half with there heads down were well beaten by the final whistle Washington Jays 5  v 2 Ferryhill dynamos Jays started well and were 4-0 up inside half an hour , a hat-trick from Adam Hill and one from Alex Whitcombe did the damage . Ferryhill pulled one back then Chris Young made it 5-1 at halftime . In a fairly even second half ferryhill scored one to make it 5-2 and thats how it finished , Jays 5 ferryhill dynamos 2 . A very lack lustre display from ferryhill who found themselves 4-0 down with in 20 minutes they pulled one back when Jonathon Mason headed in from a deep cross only for the jays to score again making it 5-1 at half time. Ferryhill came out after the break slightly better and managed to score a consolation goal when Dan Taylor fire home a goal mouth scramble. Final score 5-2 fram moor wmc 3  v 2 langley park rams 1 o down at half time then 2 1 up then 2 2 then andrew jaques goal final score 3 2 to fram.

High Shincliffe eventually started to find their game to get back into the tie. Unfortunately for them, a long ball caught out 'keeper Luke Ridley leaving the Washington striker with a simple finish. 3-0. Avenue began to press and pulled one back through a fine hit from Gary Browne from around 25 yards, moments later, Joe Barber had a decent goal unfairly ruled offside. Avenue had a better second half and pressed looking for a second goal. New Tavern defended well with a few extra chances of their own. Evenly contested second half and a decent game of football. Chester Relton Terrace  1 v 0 Pity Me Lambton Hounds A well battled and even contest after the home side had won the reverse fixture 5-0 earlier in the season. Both teams had chances throughout the game on a very uneven pitch. Home side taking the lead midway through the 1st half with a well worked goal and a shot in off the post. This came shortly after a tremedous goal line clearsnce from Pity Me's William clydesdale, with the away keeper nowhere to be seen and a goal looking very likely. The away sides heads did not drop, with the front 2 for pity me causing reltons defence a few problems with their trickery and industrty.the secone half was pretty much the same, although most of the home sides attacks and chances came on the counter attack. This was a result of pity me pretty much camped in reltons half, with the home side themselves making a couple off crucial goal saving blocks when the goal looked certain. All in all a good game with a point probably the fair result, but relton managed to hold on for the win. Waldridge Park FC  2   v 6  Lumley FC Waldridge Park FC entertained Lumley FC at the Riverside and came away on the end of a 6-2 defeat. Waldridge took the lead when Chris Davison followed up on a mistake by the Lumley keeper who failed to hold onto a free kick. Lumley levelled soon after with a good counter attack. Two quick goals by the away side one a header from a corner which hit the crossbar and came down and the referee deemed over the line followed by a suspiciously offside goal which again the referee allowed. After the break Lumley increased there lead with another quick break. Waldridge pulled a goal back when Andy Armstrong was felled n the box and Niki Robson put the penalty away. Lumley went onto finish off a deserved win with two further goals. Lumley made the short trip to the riverside complex to face Waldridge. The home team took the lead, but Laidler scored immediately to equalise for Lumley. Richard Kay headed home from a corner to give Lumley a 2-1 lead. Laidler added to give Lumley a 3-1 half time advantage. In the second half Laidler completed his hatrick, before Warwick & Melvin scored. Waldridge netted a consolation from the spot from Niki Robson. Lumley enjoyed a 6-4 win over Waldridge. Durham County Seniors  2 FC v 3 Pittington FC The visitors stormed to a deserved two-nil lead at the interval, the first a fine curling free-kick from 20yards which went in off the far post, Durham created few chances but were much brighter after half-time, Mark Hughes pulled a goal back early with a powerful drive after a fine cross by Brian Gillespie from the right, Hughes then went down in the box, up stepped Scott Arnott who made no mistake to draw level from the penalty spot, Durham then had an opportunity to take the lead but Adam Birks rising strike produced a magnificiant save, with Durham on the up and pushing forward, Pittington grabed a later winner with a simple finish from close range. pittington started the stronger and were 2 -0 at halftime, the second half was different story as dcs came out gun ho and went for it, they got it back to 2 - 2 but a bit of magic from martin clough 5 mins from time give pittington the victory quarrington hill wmc   2 v 5 washington honest boy fc A well contested game but again Q hill suffered through mistakes at both ends.

Pelton Buffs 0 - 2 Hetton Lyons CC

 Both teams battling for the points for different ends of the league table. The game was a bit scrappy to start with but  it was the Lyons that took the lead in the 31st minute a ball up the right hand side from Gileshpy to Johnston and his cross into the box was met with a superb header from Matty Weirs giving the Pelton keeper no chance 0-1. The Lyons did have the ball well behind the goal line minutes earlier from a corner but the referee failed to give it.

Sedgefield Netpark  0 v2  Sacriston WMC
The first half saw both teams battle for possession with the away team having the best two chances with Renwick going just side from a one on one and Wilkinson hitting the bar from 25 yards out.
The second half was a pretty even affair but saw Sacriston take the lead when Renwick shot took a slight deflection from 12 yards out and went into the corner. Sedgefield nearly scored when a header hit the bar from 8 yards out. With 5 minutes left Potts sent a long ball forward from a goal kick and all the Sedgefield players misses it which allowed Wilkinson a run at goal and he fired in from 15 yards out. Missed chances 'again'.... No keeper for NETPark so Sedgey donned the gloves and had very little to do apart from picking the ball out from the net twice! NETPark are desperate for a striker and its becoming more apparent by the week. NETPark are now in need of a similar finish to last season if they are to remain in the first division.

Dubmire Wmc  2 V 3 Houghton Chilton Lodge
Chilton Lodge were looking to end a run of 3 straight defeats in this local derby with Dubmire WMC. The Chilton Lodge settled into the game straight from the start keeping possession and putting pressure on the Dubmire goal however failed to find the net due to numerous goal line clearances & some wayward finishing. Dubmire took the lead against the run of play, a freekick from their left was flicked on to an unmarked player who finished with his head at the back post. 1-0. Although it was harsh on the chilton to go behind they continued their assault on the dubmire goal and were rewarded when John Fox controlled a long kick from the keeper Defty, turned and sent iain macpherson on his way who drove into the box and slid the ball past the keeper, another goal line clearance looked on the cards only for the Dubmire defender to somehow fail to keep the ball out of the net. 1-1. HT.

Chilton Lodge then went 3-1 up when John Fox again turned provider for Iain Macpherson to neatly slot home. The Dubmire pulled one back with 5 to go from close range but unlike the reverse fixture earlier in the season where the chilton lodge lost a 3-0 lead to draw the game 3-3 this finished 2-3 to the chilton lodge who thoroughly deserved the 3 points and ended the losing streak.

A nervous start by both teams, Durham seniors and Washington Tavern both had chances to score in the 1st half and it was a surprise the 1st half ended goalless. Tavern came out the better side for the 1st 15 minutes of the 2nd half but Durham re-gained the momentum and scored from a Corner to make it 1-0 to the home side. Durham's pressure persisted throughout the 2nd half with both teams making changes to try and influence the game.

Durham's shout for a penalty on the last move of the game was declined by the referee. Game concluded at 1-1.
