Sherburn Lambton Arms V New
Brancepeth Score: 3 - 0
with a very depeleted side new brancepeth struggled to break down sherburn who were the better of the sides,plenty of effort and application but not enough to get a result. A welcome return to form for the Lambton Arms who dominated a one sided match. Lambton took the lead early in the game and should have added a second goal from the penalty spot but did not hit the target. Lambton continued to control the game but missed numerous opportunities before the break. Two quick goals early in the second half sealed the match against a New Brancepeth side who fought all the way to the final whistle.
Sedgefield NETPark v Dubmire WMC Score: 2 - 1
A game that flowed from end to end, NETPark took their early chances going 2-0 up after 15mins with goals for Ben Smith and a great finish by Martyn Musgrave. Dubmire had some good chances but couldn't find that killer touch.
After 60mins a combination of a slip by the NETPark keeper and some poor marking allowed an unmarked Dubmire player a simple header to make it 2-1. Both teams then went for the next goal but NETPark held firm for a valuble three points.

The Britannia only came to life after half an hour when after good interplay in the midfield area, Dan Johnson struck home from an acute angle. The home side were now in the ascendancy and deservedly took the lead midway through the 2nd half when Scott Hope was felled in the box and Andrew Robinson made it 2-1 from the spot. After a fine run from Michael Roberts, he beat the keeper at his front post to make 3-1. A late penalty from the Bird made for a fraught last couple of minutes, but the home side did enough to see out the game

A very good game football that was well contested by the two sides. In the first half there were a handful of chances for either side but nothing clear-cut as both teams defended well.

The Avenue didn't let their heads drop and left-back Jonathan Kirkup whipped in a great cross. The ball fell to man-of-the-match Adam Farrell who teed up Simon Wright who finished well to bring it back to all square with 7 minutes on the clock.

Coxhoe wmc FC vs
Pelaw Grange Dogs fC Score: 5 - 2
The score line of the game doesn't do justice tot the game as it was much closer and more exciting than this with both sides hitting the woodwork and some great saves by both keepers Craig Bain of Pelaw Grange Dogs FC and Tom Orton for Coxhoe WMC FC. In the first half a pass from David Donnelly found David Jeffers just tot the left of goal and he controlled the high ball brilliantly to take it down and round his marker before firing into the left hand corner of the goal to put Pelaw Grange Dogs FC 1 nil up after 14 minutes. Coxhoe responded on 19 m inutes to make it 1 all and then a fierce shot by David Donnelly was deflected passed the keeper to make it 2 -1 to Pelaw Grange Dogs FCCoxhoes Center forward Colin Young on a breakaway made it 2 all on 3" minutes and then Pelaw had a goal disallowed for offside to make it all evens at the interval. After the break Coxhoe went ahead for the first time to make it 3-2 and then probably the deciding goal of the match which looked suspiciously offside Coxhoe went 4-2 ahead. This didn't stop Pelaw pressing forward though and they nearly scored twice more but good gaoling and the post kept the score the same before Coxhoe made it 5-2. Matthew Neve came on for Neil Worley and and Anthony Nicholson came on for Michael Mclean. Coxhoe also made 2 substitutions

Hard fought game for both side with waldridge park just coming out on top In a hard fought Stepys Coaches Trophy fixture it was Waldridge Park FC who came out on top winning 3-2 away at local rivals Chester Le Street Red Lion. In a game largely controlled by the poor pitch and strong wind both teams struggled to get any flowing football going. Waldridge took the lead when striker Chris Days got on the end of Chris Rooney through ball and lifted it over the advancing home keeper. The home keeper was the busiest player on the pitch and pulled off a string of fine saves to keep the Red Lion in the game. Lion equalised when Waldridge failed to clear their lines and the teams went in level at the break. The lead for Waldridge was regained when Days returned the favour with a pass for Rooney to sweep the ball into the net. In the closing stages the Red Lion pressed for an equaliser and were rewarded on 83 minutes when again the ball was not cleared and their forward scored. With the game moving towards extra time a short corner by Waldridge found its way to Steven Dobbing whose pinpoint cross found the head of Man of the Match Days who headed the ball down and into the net for the winner. A great effort by the Waldridge FC team to move into the next round of the Trophy.

Durham County Football Association County Cup 3rd Pre-lim Round
Houghton Chilton lodge entertained Washington juniors in the county cup 3rd round, Chilton lodge exploded out of the blocks taking the lead within 10 seconds. iain macpherson raced away down the left and caught out the juniors keeper as he cut the ball back across goal where it deflected off the front post and into the path of ross meenaghan who nodded the ball home unmarked. juniors then came close as a ball to the back post post was met with a side foot volley that defty turned around his post. Chilton lodge then doubled their lead, a long throw from si Williamson was met by gav tate who sent a looping header over the keeper and into the net. Chilton lodge were flying at this point and should have extended their lead further before halftime, meenaghan had a penalty waived away as he rounded the keeper who looked to have brought meenaghan down with the goal gaping however the referee thought otherwise. gav tate then thought he had a 2nd tapping home from an Andrew macpherson nod down however the referee adjudged offside much to the disbelief of the Chilton lodge. the referee then again denied chilton lodge a penalty, what looked like a blatant handball by a juniors defender as iain macpherson crossed was seen differently by the man in the middle. 2 mins before halftime the juniors centre half & skipper paul Clarke dragged his side back into the tie with a stunning strike, carrying the ball from his own half unchallenged, Chilton lodge failed to clear as Clarke sent a drive into the top corner from 25 yards leaving defty in goal with no chance. 2-1 ht.2nd half saw the rain arrive however it did not dampen either sides spirits as both teams sensed they could win the tie. just after the hour david firth scored with his first touch after just coming off the bench to give the Chilton lodge a 3-1 win, gav tate dinked a smart ball over the juniors defence where firth smashed the ball across the keeper with his right peg and into the net. juniors then hit back almost immediately to make it 3-2, a move down juniors right saw dan Sinclair smash home unmarked from 6 yards. the Chilton lodge though were in no mood to fold as ross meenaghan grabbed his 2nd of the game and Chilton lodge's 4th as he dispossessed a juniors defender to find himself one on one with the keeper, this time though rather than try to round the keeper meenaghan opened his body up to curl the ball into the net. 4-2. into the final 12 minutes and juniors gave it one last go, an inswinging corner from their left was put under the crossbar for andy ord to nod home virtually on the goal line to make it 4-3. minutes later another corner from the left went over everybody to the back post where a juniors player attempted to knock the ball back across goal, what looked like a good block by gav tate was blown up by the referee who awarded a penalty for handball. Chilton lodge were furious as protests lead by adam summerson and Stephen hall were in vain as Washington juniors had the chance to level up. justice however then ensued as defty guessed the right way and dived to his right to get 2 hands on the ball to keep the ball out of the net. this galvanised the Chilton lodge as they held firm to see the final 10 minutes out despite shouts of timewasting from Washington juniors to deservedly win the tie 4-3. ross meenaghan was awarded the man of the match with his 2 goals and eye catching display to make that 6 goals and 2 man of the matches in 3 county cup games this season.
