The Lyons did take the lead in the 74th minute, from a free kick Billy smith headed it down for Warren Byrne to break the deadlock 1-0. Warren Byrne made it 2-0 ten minutes later a thru ball from Price and Byrne picked it up and rounded the keeper to score.Washington JFC welcomed Langley Steelers for this Premier League game. Steelers had the ball in the net first but the ref blew for off-side, shortly after JFC went 1-0 up after a cracking goal by Briggs from 20yds the ball flying into the left hand corner, it was 2-0 when Middlemiss cut in from the left and sent the keeper the wrong way, a mix up in the Steelers Defense allowed Macadam in to nip in and slide the ball home 3-0 H/T to JFC.The 2nd half was scrappy compared to the 1st half Steelers got a goal back in the 65 min, when Harris beat the JFC keeper to the ball slotting the ball over the line, 3-1 JFC, with 20 mins left a good move by Middlemiss down the left saw his cross touched on by Baxter for Stephenson to score at the far post F/T JFC 4-1.Kelloe wmc entertained Washington Chevies In a game, where the chevvies defended well, kelloe squandered numerous chances in the 1st half but eventually got the breakthrough just after half time when an inviting cross from Charlton was met with a bullet header from Hal graham. Kelloe then took charge but couldn't extend the lead, with Soppitt, Megran and Johnson all wasting opportunities, final score 1-0 kelloe wmc. In the First Division Sedgefield Net Park entertained Chilton Wmc.First half was a tight affair but it was Net Park who took a deserved lead though Alan Jones who finished at the second attempt for his first for the club 1-0. Chilton nearly equalized with a cross that skimmed the bar. Second half started with Chilton trying to play and pass the ball more but Netpark were tight in both midfield and defense. On 60mins Net Park were 2-0 up through James Duddin headed from a corner. A few Net park were struggling and Chilton were starting to get more possession without threatening Net park goal. Chilton did have the ball in the net but Chilton substitute handled the ball over the line. Net park made changes and started to gain control of the game then on 80mins Ryan Boardman finished brilliantly to give Net park another much needed 3pts, Final Score 3-0.Coxhoe Wmc were 3-2 winners at Burnside Wmc, Washington Cross Keys won 5-3 at Sedgefield Social Club. In the Second Division Houghton Chilton Lodge registered their first league win since last October in emphatic style beating Esh Winning CC 7-1 today.

The joy of the goal was marred by the injury of defender Adam Summerson in the build up who after a clash of heads received seven stitches a fractured eye socket and cheek bone. Esh Winning equalized five minutes later following a 20 yard shot. 'Chilton then scored three times in eight minutes following a Gavin Tait shot 30 mines, a Craig Johnson header 35 mins, Tait scored his second from a penalty after 38 minutes following a foul on Ian McPherson to make it 1-4 at half time. Goals in the second half by man of the match Jonathon Fox who scored with a 20 yard shot following a free kick on 65 mins, another by Craig Johnston this time a shot from the edge of the area after some great work by Fox. Chester Plough Inn played Ferryhill Saints for the 2nd week running and were looking for revenge after last weeks drubbing. The first half was very tight but it was Ferryhill who broke the deadlock and went in 1 nil up at the interval. The 2nd half Chester Plough upped their game and had the majority of the possession and equalized with a long strike from Ben Lloyd that squirmed under the keeper’s body. The Plough grabbed the winner in the 60th minute when Chris Cuthbert son drilled the ball into the back of the net in a packed goalmouth. The Plough had a number of chances to kill the game off but a combination of good goalkeeping and poor finishing kept the score line down. F/T 2-1New Durham made 5 changes for this league game and after a scrappy start Ouston went in at half time winning 2-0, second half New Durham piled the pressure on and scored 3 winning the game 3-2.Ushaw Moor Cricket Club won 2-0 at Durham Bede Lodge. In the Third Division Pelaw Grange Dogs Fc looked more dangerous from the start at Dubmire Wmc and were having the better chance but failing to put them away but a corner won by Dave Henderson and taken by David Donnelly saw Neil Worley run into the penalty area and head the ball home after 15 minutes. Neil Worley then made it 2 nil for Pelaw Grange Dogs FC with a well taken penalty just before half time with a good hard penalty kick. After the break Dubmire tried to get into the game but Pelaw were still in control and should have gone further ahead with efforts wide of the target from several players. However Dubmire's keeper did make one really good save with a great effort that he tipped over the bar. So Pelaw go top of the table with only a few games left to play and have a home fixture on Tuesday night.Bowburn were 4-0 Home winners over Chester st Cuthberts Social. In the Fourth Division A very lackluster performance from the Ferryhill Dynamo’s gifted the visitors Washington Jays an easy away win. The jays scored two goals in the first half, the second half was a bit of a non-event both teams huffed and puffed but no goals could be found the game finished 0-2In a well contested game it was visitors Washington New Tavern who started brightly and but for some poor finishing should have been 3-0 up inside the first ten minutes. Quarrington Hill after their terrible start eventually got going and took the lead after 20 minutes through Chris Taylor. They extended the lead with another from Dan Beaney, but Washington were still in the game and a spectacular own goal made it 2-1 at half time. Q Hill were much better in the second half and raced to a 4-1 lead with 2 more goals from Man of the Match Dan Beaney before Jeff Dean settled the game, coming off the bench to score with his first touch. Washington never gave up and grabbed a late goal to make the final score 5-2.The Washington Honest Boy traveled to Pity Me ,This was a very feisty game at times but it was pity me that kept there cool and took control of the game. Pity me were very organized at the back and looked dangerous on the attack. Pity Me’s pressure paid off eventually when Brian Innes picked up the ball at the halfway line and played a nice ball for Gareth Bowen to run on to which he then slotted nicely under the keeper. Pity me continued to control the game and just before half time they got a free kick on the edge of the box, Kelvin scorer stepped up and placed the ball beautifully in the back of the net. In the second half pity me became a little sloppy and allowed Washington back in it with a goal. This turned out only to be a consolation goal as pity me switched back on and saw the game out for a win. Langley Park Rams Head lost another league game this time at Home to Bishop Middleham Fc Couple of regulars missing again so knew be up against it again. Bishop started better side and attacked well, but Langley could have scored 2 goals with Tony Rutter and Steven Cummings missing good chances. Bishop then took game to Langley and scored within a minute not long before half time. Second half same story bishop started stronger and scored again after 65minutes, then Langley finally got into game and Steven Cummings tapped ball in to try and get back into game but no more goals and bishop deserved the win 3-1 In the Bishop Auckland Heart Foundation Cup, the semi Finals took place with the League having 3 of the 4 Clubs involved.

FC Tripimeni
The FA have announced that FC Tripimeni were guilty of three separate and deliberate breaches of the rules regarding fielding ineligible players in their game against Oyster Martyrs and consequently, they have been removed from the competition and Oyster have been reinstated.
The FA have also confirmed that Tripimeni were guilty of deliberately breaching the same rule in previous rounds and have been fined £750 and banned from entering the Sunday Cup for 5 years!
This is the first time that I am aware of a side being banned for 5 years due to fielding ineligible players. This punishment is normally reserved for sides whose matches were abandoned due to crowd trouble, such as Buttershaw Whitestar v Coppelhouse in 2007 and Halton Moor v Flathouse in 2009.
Clearly, the FA were fully satisfied that Tripimeni had knowlingly committed numerous offences of playing ineligible players and in my opinion, their removal from the competition, their fine and ban are entirely justified.
So, Oyster Martyrs have another chance to reach their third final in four seasons, although a trip to Billingham Synthonia to meet Hetton Lyons is a daunting prospect for a full strenght Oyster side, let alone one that could be missing three key players, following their indisciplined defeat to Tripimeni.
The two sides have met before. Hetton Lyons beat Oyster 3-1 in a 3rd round tie in 2007/08, which was Oyster's debut in the competition.

COXHOE Wmc 1 v 3 NEW DURHAM WMC
FRIDAY 23rd MARCH 2012
A massive crowd of well over 600 enthusiastic supporters are well entertained by Coxhoe Wmc and New Durham Wmc in the final of the Durham Sunday League Guards Cup Sponsored by JD Taxis. Both sides playing attractive football throughout but it’s the better New Durham Wmc finishing that earns them a second cup final win of the season having won last week’s Presidents Cup.
New Durham start the brightest and go close to opening the scoring after fifteen minutes when Danny Chester sets up Nicholas Marley, however Coxhoe keeper Ryan Hindhaugh is out quickly to bravely smoother the shot. A period of Coxhoe pressure is almost rewarded when a great Michael Owens header beats keeper Scot Thompson but rebounds off the cross bar to safety. From the resultant clearance New Durham’s Andrew Ward storms down the field to set up the first goal with an inch perfect pass to Graeme Brenkley who strokes the ball home to make it 0-1. Coxhoe start the second half strongly, winger Paul Broom constantly probing with a succession of crosses but New Durham’s defenders marshaled by man of the match Stewart Birkitt repel them all. On the sixty minute mark New Durham’s Andrew Ward sends over a long range free kick which finds Nicholas Marley unmarked in the box, he makes no mistake with a powerful header into the far corner of the net. Five minutes later Coxhoe are back in it, Michael Owens setting up Colin Young to make it 1-2. Coxhoe pile on the pressure but to no avail, with time running out the result is put beyond with Graeme Brenkley’s second goal to make 1-3.
