Stephen Gregory. Hilda Park outplayed Pelaw for about the first hour of this match to be 2 nil up but Pelaw were still in the game with a goal from Michael Mclean before it was 3-1. Mclean should of scored in the last half hour when only the keeper to beat but Liam Bennett for Hilda came out quickly and the chance was missed. Shortly afterwards he hurried a shot after been clear again as Hilda were quickly closing him down. David Henderson was then tripped in the box and Neil Worley made it 3-2 for an exciting finish. Pelaw were well on top but weren't getting any real shots off at goal as Hilda Park packed their defence. Then a breakaway by Hilda Park saw the Pelaw Grange Dogs short at the back and a clinical finish made it 4-2 to Hilda Park. This didn't demoralise the Dogs though as they fought to the end to try and get another goal but the passing needs to improve along with more players willing to shoot at goal.

A hard fought competitive game, Sedgefield opened the scoring after a great outside of the foot cross from Davy Neil was finished with great aplomb by Lewis White. Hetton soon equalised when a cross from the left was headed in at the back post. In the second half Hetton were reduced to ten men after the left back was sent off for a professional foul. Sedgefield once again took the lead when a mishit shot from substitute Danny Sigsworth landed at James McPartlands feet and he duly dispatched into the net.

Durham County FC v Burnmoor FC  Score: 1 - 3
Durham County were undone by some poor defending and two set pieces, firstly Jordan Haywood gave away an early penalty which was converted, Captain Lee Walkers presence led to the equaliser from close range but it may have been an own goale, Burnmoor then took the lead again with a simple tap in, and killed the game off scoring directly from a corner kick.

Ferryhill Community Hub V Quarrington Hill  Score: 7 - 1
A very poor performance from Q Hill who failed to string more than a few passes together at any one time. This, coupled with the home side scoring with almost every opportunity that they had, ensured a very grim day for the Hill
Following a tough start to the season as a newly formed team Ferryhill started this game with a new found level of confidence looking like they have finally 'gelled' as a team. They played some very nice possession football and were rewarded with an early lead in the first 10 minutes which saw a good build up for Chris O'Hara to slot home. As the game settled down slightly there were a number of chances for both teams but it was Ferryhill who managed to break away again with Jason Leary hitting a well struck shot from just outside the box. The third goal came from Neil Birbeck who's hard work down the wing finally paid off as he managed to get on the end of a set piece. Just before the whistle was blown for half time Chris O'Hara managed to pull a pearler out of the bag; he saw the opportunity and laced the ball from roughly 40 yards out lobbing the keeper. 4-0 at half time.The second half did not see much change with Ferryhill Hub dictating the pace of play for the majority of the half. However, a slight lapse in concentration at the back allowed Q'Hill to slip behind the defense and pull a goal back, giving them a slight glimmer of hope for a comeback. But it wasn't long before Ferryhill Hub were piling the pressure on again and creating good chances. Not looking to stop there F'Hill made a substitution up front in the name of Andrew Briggs who managed to come and bag himself 2 goals; his first goal of the season and hopefully many more to come. To cap of a promising performance from the Hub the team captain exploited a bit of space outside the box and managed to smash home a 25 yard shot into the bottom corner to end the game 7-1 to the Ferryhill community Hub.
Bowburn Ath vs ferryhill Celtic  Score: 0 - 7

Lampton Hounds V Pelton Crown Score: 1 - 7
Pelton Rushed To A 5 0 Half Time Lead With Goals From Kris Lawton Colin Thompson 2 Dean Stewart Jon Morris . After The Break Kris Lawton Scored A 6th And With His 1st Touch Scott Simpson Buried A Right Foot Volley . Pelton Then Made 3 Subs And Game Was Over. Not much can be said about the defensive performance from the home side. They were all over the place in the first half, not picking up their men, weak challenges and a couple of bad mistakes by the keeper allowed Pelton to score 5 goals by half time. Pity Me did have a chance at 2-0 down to peg a goal back with a penalty but the usually reliable Allport dragged the opportunity softly past the post. The second half started much the same with Pelton grabbing 2 goals early on, one of which a great first time volley from a right wing cross. The home side made a triple substitution and the change in personnel seemed to change the game completely. Pity me were then the side on top and played some lovely football to watch and started to create chance after chance but just couldn't put them away. This was a combination of bad luck, good saves by Pelton's keeper and a couple of poopr finishes. They finally did get a goal, well worked at the edge of the box and a good curling finish in to the corner from the 18 yard line. This was little more than a consolation goal, although the home side did still make a few more chances before the final whistle. The score line showed a comfortable win for Pelton, but the second half performance could have made it a different story if Pity Me had converted some of their chances.

Mark Emerson and Chris Mathewson gave The Shoes the lead at half time but the rams took over in the second half to win the game. Scoreline a bit unfair on us but all the best to Rams they are a good set of lads.

Waldridge Park FC v Gilesgate Queens Head  Score: 1 - 4
Waldridge Park FC's unbeaten run in all competitions came to an end when they lost 4-1 to Gilesgate Queens Head in the JD Taxis Guards Cup. It was Waldridge who took the game to the Gilesgate early on and only some excellent goalkeeping by the visitors keeper kept the scores level. Queens Head took the lead when a long ball found their centre forward McManus free and he finished well. Their lead was extended when Waldridge failed to clear their lines and the ball fell to a Gilesgate player who found the net. Another long ball by the visitors again found McManus who again finished well. After the break Waldridge got an early chance to get back into the game when a penalty was awarded however this was saved by the Gilesgate keeper. They did pull one back when Waldridge man of the match Lloyd McGee struck a 25 yard shot which hit the bottom corner. Almost constant pressure was soaked up by Gilesgate who rounded off the scoring with a long clearance by the keeper finding McManus to run and get his hat trick.
Brandon Sports Club v Chester-le-street Relton Terrace AFC  Score: 4 - 1
The home side progressed in the Guards Cup after comfortably overcoming Relton Terrace. Goals from Kidd (2), David Fort and Morris put Brandon up 4-0 at the break. They'll be disappointed with their second half performance however as they took their foot off the gas allowing Relton to score a consolation goal. For the visitors though, they'll feel it was just rewards for their hard work and endeavour in the whole game. Despite being 4 down, they kept grafting and were deserved of their second half bonus.

Sacriston  Wmc v Ferryhill Dynamoe   Score: 3 - 2
Unlucky Dynamoes go down fighting.
Ferryhill got off to a bad start when they conceded a sloppy goal after not getting started this stirred them into action and they started to dominate without any luck. After the interval the Dynamoes pulled one back through some neat work from Reece Marshall who put through Stephen Ward to finish from close range. Sacriston took the lead again before Ferryhill took full control and created many good opportunities, Scott Maughan beat 2 players and played in Ward who dummied 3 defenders and slotted past the keeper to make it 2-2. Ferryhill continued to create opportunities, going close were Brett Maughan, Luke Carr, Scott Maughan and Ryan Gamsby then in the last minute a defensive mistake cost the Dynamoes dearly when a weak shot was deflected into his own net by Ryan Gamsby. Final score Sacriston 3 Ferryhill Dynamoes 2
A very even game was settled by a last gasp Tom Winter effort with a little help from a deflection.
Sacriston had been two up with full debutant Adam Wilson opening the scoring from David Winter's through ball, Winter then doubled the advantage with a fine move finished off after Ryan Nicholson's cross.Ferryhill were good value in the game and could argue they had chances to win. Tim Asquith was outstanding in the Sacriston goal
