Chester Plough Inn made the short trip to Washington to face last week’s opponents Washington Lambton Village. The Riversides were looking to pick up all 3 points after last weeks disappointing result. Washington Lambton got the game underway kicking up the field. Both sides were struggling to get the ball down and pass it around in the early stages due to the tricky pitch conditions. Both teams continued to battle for possession in the midfield area but neither side were able to take control of the game. The home side’s main threat came from a long ball forward to the tall centre forward with The Plough's wide man Aaron Sheriff very lively on the left flank. Lambton Village took the lead in the 20th minute with the game's first effort on goal. An in swinging corner came in from the right and was flicked on at the near post for the unmarked Warren Lead beater to head in from close range. The goal didn’t have much of an effect on either side as they both continued to battle for possession without threatening either goalkeeper. The wide man continued to cause problems down the left hand side and got his just rewards shortly before half time. Sherrif broke down the wing and fired a low drive into the corner of the net which the goalkeeper just stood and watched/T 1-1Chester Plough started the 2nd period and immediately took the game to the home side. The goal had obviously given the Riversides a huge lift as they took control and pressed Lambton Village back. Despite having the majority of the possession The Plough was struggling to create any opportunities as they found the home defence in fine form. Aaron Sheriff continued to cause problems down the left hand side. The Lambton defence stood strong and blocked the efforts. Dean Cooper had a glorious chance in the 70th minute when Cuthbert son beat the full back and crossed but the forwards effort was pushed over the bar by the keeper. Once again, Sheriff supplied another great cross into the danger area but Baddams and Atchison collided with each other and failed to convert. Atchison had a chance soon after when Sherrif crossed again but the ball skimmed off his head and away to safety. The Plough forced a number of corners as they pressed for a winner. Yet another cross from the left should have been converted by McIlduff but the striker missed the header. Washington had a great opportunity themselves in the latter stages as a long ball forward was flicked on by the forward to put his team mate clear on goal but his shot was tipped round the post by Lambert.F/T 1-1.Shadforth Plough Lost 6-2 at East Rainton Fc.
