April Fools Day 1st April

In the Premier Division Chester le Street Chester’s entertained Hetton Lyons Cricket Club, It was Michael Canavan who opened the scoring for the Lyons in the 18th minute with a header at the far post from a corner, Chester equalized in the 25th minute with a well taken goal and 2 minutes before half time Warren Byrne was brought down in the penalty area and Craig Price duly slotted the ball home 1-2. Hetton extended their lead in the 63rd minute with a great strike from Kyle Davis and 3 minutes later Davis beat two defenders and Chris Bell finished it off with the goalkeeper having no chance 1-4. Chester kept didn't drop their heads and made it 2-4 with two minutes to go. Langley Park Steelers travelled to Kelloe Wmc a spirited Steelers side the bare 11 defended well throughout the 1st half but kelloe wasted chances through Turton, Johnson and Graham. After the break, the introduction of Barton gave kelloe the edge. Barton was involved when Turton broke the deadlock with a neat close range finish. Man of the match Turton doubled the lead with a 30 yard screamer into the top corner. With the Steelers struggling, Soppitt and Barton with 2 wrapped the game up to make it 5-0 to kelloe. With Washington Chevies pitch unavailable the Game against Sedgefield st Edmunds was switched to Sedgefield,. 2 first half goals from Parsons and Hilder and a Penalty for Chevies in between resulted in a 2-1 win for St Eds WJFC travelled to Newton Aycliffe for their latest Premier Lgue encounter.Newton Aycliffe proved to be the stronger team and made attack after attack throughout the 1st half, jfc held out to keep the score level at H/T 0-0. The same pattern emerged in the 2nd half until jfc broke through the Aycliffe defence in a rare attacking move and Middlemiss fired home to give the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 65 min. The home team made attack after attack and this finally paid off when a direct move through the middle saw their forward get a touch which beat the approaching jfc keeper. The game was won with 7 mins. remaining when a long ball was headed on for Aycliffe`s centre forward to score at the far post with a backward header. F/T 2-1 N-Aycliffe

Sacriston Cricket Club Travelled to Coxhoe Wmc in the First Division on a rock hard pitch ,. Michael Mellor gave away a free kick on 7 minutes. From that free kick the ball was sent over to the far post where Mellor was and for the entire world the ball looked like it was going out of play but the Coxhoe number 10 got round the back and diverted the ball back across the goal and into the far corner to make it 1-0. Then on 26 minutes the Cricketers levelled the scores when Michael Frazer’s free kick was flicked on in the box by O’Brien and Yates brought the ball under control and placed a right footed shot into the bottom corner of the net to make it 1-1.The rest of the first half was even with Sacriston having lots of territory and causing problems in the Coxhoe defence with long throws from Draper and corners from James Thornton but we just couldn’t get the final touch to send the ball goal wards. Coxhoe then wasted the best chance of the game just before half time when their forward got through one on one with our keeper having been clearly yards off side and Marc Bladen did brilliantly to get back close enough to him to force him into shooting over the bar.
Half time came and went and Crickters  started the 2nd half much the stronger team  forcing  many corners from which they  had one cleared off the line and O’Brien had a great chance at the back post from Draper’s corner but put his header wide. Then on 72 minutes Coxhoe took the lead when a cross to our back post reached one of their players who was unmarked and he bundled in a finish, where a combination of Hall and Marc Bladen look to have kept the ball from crossing the line, but the referee decided from his position from 25 yards away that he could clearly give a goal .Final score 2-1 to Coxhoe. In a Typical Washington derby the Cross Keys playing the Victoria,  with a nervy start but then settled down to a scrappy affair, keys tried to play football but never looked like scoring and the vic resulted in long balls which the keys never really dealt with. Two injuries to a weak turn out by the keys resulted in a game of two different styles of football which worked in the Vics favour and they came away with a hard worked 2-0 win. Burnside Wmc Travelled to Chilton Wmc, Chilton scored in the first half to lead 1 - 0. In the second half Burnside came back into the game and grabbed an equaliser, Sacriston wmc  had goalkeeper problems  for the home game against Gilesgate Moor Queens Head ,with the 1st choice keeper away on holiday, the 2nd choice injured in the warm up, so centre half, Michael Finch went in goal. Gilesgate took full advantage of this in the first half, scoring 3. The first was a good finish from the edge of the 18 yard box, the 2nd came when Asquith slid in and cleared the ball but was adjudged to have committed a foul resulting in a penalty, and this was converted. The 3rd was some good play resulting in a headed goal from 6 yards. Sacriston got 1 back just before half time when Wearmouth was brought down in the box and converted the penalty.
The 2nd half was totally different, Sacriston dominated for long periods, they hit the bar and post, scored another from a corner when Aaron White headed home. Sacriston's Tom Winter thought he had scored the equalizer only for the ref to blow for offside. Gilesgate were reduced to long balls over the top to try and relieve some pressure, but they defended well and the goalkeeper was their Man Of The Match.Final Score 2-3

In the Second Division Chester Plough Inn made the short trip to play Ouston. Chester Plough dominated the first half and created a number of chances but couldn’t break the deadlock. Shortly before half time and against the run of play Ouston took the lead. In the second half Ouston were a lot stronger and doubled their lead through Keith Lines. Kris Lawton added a third midway through the second half. New Durham WMC entertained East Rainton Fc in a scrappy first half all square 0-0. Second half Durham scored 4 second half goals to kill off a good east rainton side, 2 from Allen.... 1 each from Bowes and Brinkley. Houghton V Chilton Lodge and Sherburn Lambton Arms shared the Points in a 2-2 draw. Sherburn took the lead after 30 mins after a mistake by 'Chilton' keeper Defty to go 1-0 up. Chilton hit back in the second half and goals by the McPhersons Ian and Andy put them into a 2-1 lead. More chances for Chilton followed but they were unable to add to their tally and were punished five minutes from time when they were unable to clear their lines and the ball fell to Sherburns Martin to shoot home to equalise

In division 3 an entertaining Chester le Street derby saw the Cricket Club come out on top against the Red Lion. The Red Lion edged the first half and took the lead from the penalty spot after a handball. The Cricket Club started the second half the better team but found themselves 2-0 down when a misplaced pass found the Red Lion striker who finished well. This did not deter the CC however, who soon found themselves back in the game, Andrew Willcock pulling a goal back. From this point the Cricket Club dominated the game and got an equaliser via a cool finish from Lee Cuthbertson. A deserved winner followed soon as Willcock grabbed his second goal of the game.Bowburn Fc travelled to Framwellgate Moor Wmc, It was  Bowburn kept the pressure on the two teams above them with a 5-2 away win at framwellgate moor in a equal first half Bowburn took over in the second and should have scored more, goals from Robbie Hurton 2 own goal substitute Ray Pirt and m.o.m. Jack Carr. Pelw Grange Dogs entertained New Brancepeth Wmc ,Both teams were up for this game and it was a shame the pitch was so hard but thats football. Pelaw went ahead with a penalty in the first 3 minutes taken by Neil worley but New Brancepeth pulled one back more or less straight away and then went 2-1 ahead all within the fiorst 7 minutes. After half time Pelaw Grange Dogs FC first drew level and then went ahead through goals from Chris Harvey, Chris Hawkins and Marc wood to make 4-2 and then in the last 5 minutes New Brancepeth fc were awarded a penalty that made it 4-3

In the Fourth Division Langley park Rams Head took a 1-0 lead going in to half time against visitors Ferryhill Dynamoes,.Only for ferryhill to equalize before the rams head extended there lead by two goals making it 3-1 only for the Dynamos to give a late rally to draw level with only a few minutes left. The pick of the goals was a stunning volley by young Callum Walton Ferryhill's hero.Quarrington Hill Wmc travelled to Burnmoor Jnrs Another cracking game between these two competitive sides. Burnmoor were excellent from the off and created a host of chances in the first 20 minutes only to be denied by a string of fine saves by young keeper Jordan Nicholson. In the 21st min Dan Beaney scored after being put through by Luke Jury. Second half was more even and end to end. Burnmoor getting a goal worked from a throw in and Q Hill grabbing 2 in 2 mins. The first, a surging run from left back by Lee Carter finishing with a cross / shot, and then Dan Beaney getting his second of the game. Goal of the game was Q Hills 4th, Jeff Dean finishing a fine move, before Burnmoor made it 2-4. Q hill MOM was Jordan Nicholson A well fought battle by two hard working teams on this fine spring morning Washington Jays were at High Shincliffe, both teams plucked away in the first half with possession and chances fairly even. Jays started 2nd half stronger and clinched a goal through a goal-mouth scramble that could easily have been given a penalty but Seed's handball was over the line saving him a red card but couldn't stop the goal. High Shincliffe battled back and equalised
