Groundhopper
PREMIER Divison
In the Premier Division Langley Park Wmc Travelled to Newton Aycliffe Wmc, There was little to choose between the sides in the early exchanges, and both sides created a couple of good chances. After 25 minutes a long ball into the Langley box created havoc and ended with a defender slicing the ball into his own net. Five minutes later a neat one two between Mason and Brischuk led to Brischuck rolling the ball into the net. Pressure began to mount on the Langley defence, and right on half time Wright managed to force the third home from close range.The second half belonged to Aycliffe winger Stuart Owen who scored four times, the second being a penalty, which resulted in a Langley defender being shown the red card. After being reduced to ten men Langley were under constant pressure and McMullen also grabbed a goal to make the final score 8-0.Sedgefield st Edmunds Travelled to Washington JFC, the First meeting between the two sides. Two second half goals from Andrew Beamson and Paul Cleary, gave st Edmunds a fine 2-0 away win.Sacriston Cricket Club and visitors Brandon Bay Horse shared the Points in a 1-1 Draw.

The Washington Arms bounced back from lasts Weeks County Cup hammering to give Sedgefield Black Lion a 9-0 mauling in the Division One encounter at Glebe Park. David Lyall opened the floodgates after ten minutes after which the goals flowed, man of the match Craig Smith netting two as did Danny Murray, Chris Morrison scored before making way for substitute Carlo Barrass who promptly went on to score a hat-trick.Ushaw Moor Cricket Club entertained Sacriston Wmc, It was Fairly even for the first 10 min until Sacriston had to make a sub due to a injury .Sacristons defence had to put up with a barrage of long balls from Ushaw Moor and nearly conceded a Goal midway through the 1st half. Ushaw Moor had a corner and one of their players came in unmarked at the back post only to head against the underside of the bar, the ball bounced on the line and was then cleared, the Ushaw Moor players appealed for a goal but it was not given. Sacriston continued to create chances with Davey Wardle working hard in Sacriston midfield Sacriston scored with after a goalmouth scramble just before Half Time with Wardle poking the ball home. 1-0 at half time Ushaw Moor made a sub in the second half and their looked a lot more dangerous, only solid defending from the Sacriston back four stopped them from equalising, Ushaw Moor kept pressing and forced a error from Gary Varty to allow the striker through on goal, he slotted it past the oncoming keeper to make it 1-1.
Sacriston kept wasting chances but finally Ben Sanderson scored a trademark goal, beating the offside trap he was left one on one with the goalkeeper, he put the ball in the corner to make it 2-1.
Sacriston should have scored a 3rd with good play down the right wing, the ball was squared and Aaron White only had to pass it in to an empty net but somehow he managed to miss the ball!!
Final Result: Ushaw Moor 1-2 Sacriston WMC Barley Mow Inn travelled to Langley Park to play the Steelers, Steelers FC were 3 goals to the better in this 11 goal thriller. A game not recommended for the faint hearted but a huge spectacle for the neutral could have gone either way until mid way through the second half. A hat trick for Adam Malekpour and a brace to Kieron Moralee for the second week running with Jamie Clifford and Liam Burn who scored his first for the club being enough to see off the visitors. Barley Mow Striker Ryan Moore Hitting a Hat Trick and Barley skipper Neil Evans scoring for the opposition, Final score 7-4 to the Steelers. The old clich 'a game of two halves' certainly applied to Houghton Mill All Stars home league division one match with neighbours Burnside WMC. Mill were much the better side throughout the first half and three David Hall goals gave Mill a 3-0 half time lead - Hall's second goal was a joy to watch as he lobbed the ball over the Burnside defence on the half way line before running at goal, rounding keeper Chris Wilson and firing the ball into an empty net. Whatever Burnside's Manager Brett Cummings said to his team mates at half time worked wonders as Burnside started the second half much the livelier team as they netted two goals within two minutes of the restart. Cummings himself scored the first and Carl Finch the second. On seventy five minutes Burnside's Jon Caris had a shot at goal from twenty yards out and the ball deflected off the heel of Mill's Scot Watson to deceive keeper Pearson for a cruel but well deserved equaliser.

It was back to the bread and butter of the league after good performances in cup ties in the previous 2 weeks as Witton Gilbert Wmc entertained Bishop Middleham Cross Keys.Witton started brightly enough and for the first 25 minutes had the majority of the game but failed to gain any advantage and suffered a sucker punch when Bishop went one up in their first meaningful attack.

PRESIDENTS TROPHY
In the 2nd Round of the Presidents Trophy , this A game, where first half Quarrington Hill wmc struggled to get to grips with the opposition Ferryhill Saints who were 4 - 0 up at half time through some generous play and a couple of well worked goals. Second half was a much more even affair, Quarrington hill getting one with a well taken Dan Beaney penalty but Ferryhill extending the lead late on. Man of the Match was Alex Clewes who was outstanding in the middle of the park committing to every tackle and playing some neat football throughout.. Waterhouses were 5-2 Home winners over Chester Easystreet Fc, Washington Honest Boy Entertained Washington Colliery in the Big Washington Derby .The weather made for tricky conditions and The Honest Boy were down to the bare bones missing 4 or 5 first team players but it was The Boy who started the brightest with Martin Fishwick hitting the post after only five minutes and stringing together some nice passing moves against derby rivals Washington Colliery. Five minutes later The Honest Boy did take the lead with Andy Thompson passing a ball forward to Nathan Varty on edge of the box; Nathan turned and struck a low drive into the bottom left corner. After that Washington Colliery started to come back into the game and Mark Boundy had to react well to block a low drive from the angle with his legs. From Mark's save the ball broke to Lee Simpson who played an incisive long pall (he booted it up the pitch) for Andy Thompson to run on to, he broke into the box and was brought down by The Colliery's Centre half for a penalty. Dean Sinclair Stepped up to take the penalty but the keeper read it and did well to get across and palm it away. This seemed to spur The Colliery on and they were unlucky not to score when a deep cross to the back post was volleyed against the post With Johnny Gaunt clearing the rebound away. Soon after the Boy were two-nil up after Varty, usually a right back but making a rare appearance up front, pounced on a Sinclair shot which held up in a boggy goalmouth to put it in from 2 yards. Shortly after that Varty returned the favour leaving Sinclair with the easiest of finishes. 3-0 HALF TIME Colliery started off the better of the two teams in the second half and Boundy had to go full length to keep out a long range strike that seemed to be heading for the top corner. From the resulting corner The Colliery did make it 3-1 after a looping cross that Boundy lost in the sun dropped onto the forward who was all on his own and he headed it into the top corner. The Colliery then pushed on and Boundy tipped over a fierce volley from the edge of the box and Simpson and Gaunt had to stand strong against a barrage of long balls. The Colliery nearly got back into the match after getting a second goal, the ball holding up in the same boggy goalmouth as assisted the Boy in the first half for their lad to square it and an easy finish from 3 yards. Honest Boy then made a change bringing off Varty and introducing Duff. The managerial masterstroke paid off soon after when Taylor played a ball inside from the left for Duff who let the ball run across his body and hit a sweet strike with his right foot that left the keeper with no chance. It wasnt long before it was 5-2, Taylor sliding a ball through for Tullis who produced a delightful chip from 25 yards that once again, left the keeper with no chance. The game was wrapped when Taylor who made no mistake from all of 1 yard. 6-2 to the Honest Boy who progress to the next round but special mention goes to the referee who tried to let the game flow in tricky conditions and The Colliery lads who we wish well until we play them in the league later this season.Washington Victoria Travelled to Langley Park to play the Rams Head. The game kicked off and after Both Teams settled down with the Victoria having the better of the chances; Steve Wilson went close as did Lee Munro. The deadlock was broken after 15 Mins , Steven Douglas slid the ball through to Mark Liddle who pushed it past the 'keeper only to be brought down and the referee awarded the penalty. Liddle hit it firmly into the top corner for 1-0. Not long after, Tom Hunt had a chance from a corner, his header flashed wide of the post. The Victoria scored a second not much later though, Wilson driving in a cross which seemed to change direction in the air and surprised everyone by clipping the post and nestling in the back of the net. It remained 2-0 until half time. Second half Langley only tests Talbot in goal once, which he saved really well down low to his left. The Victorias 3rd came from a corner, Lee Charlton nipping in to side foot home from close range. By now we were comfortable, but we still pushed for more. Steven Wilson was a constant threat down the right, and Langley tried pretty much everything to stop him, while Mickey Dowson was also getting the better of his marker, only to be fouled constantly as Langley resorted to kicking people instead of the ball. The Victoria got a 4th with 5 minutes remaining; Douglas skinned his marker in midfield before putting Kindon through on goal, who curled it into the top corner for the goal of the game. 4-0 and through to the next round,

However Q hill continued to press and a double substitution on 70 minutes saw both subs score, Jeff Dean with a speculative shot from 30 yds on the right side and Scott Wilson following in after a save from the keeper to level the score.

It was 3 nil 10/15 minutes later when Neil Worley scored. After the interval Paul Curry of Pelaw Grange Dogs Fc was replaced with Daniel Fraterrigo and it looked as if the rest of the midfield were taking a rest with Pittington piling on the pressure and if it wasn't for man of the match Wayne Laws in goal it could have been a different story. Wayne made several fine saves in goal. Craig Bain was replaced with Kenny Brown during the second half and Pittington also used their substitutes.
