WEARSIDE LEAGUE
By MALCOLM PRATT
 
DARLINGTON  Cleveland Bridge have made an impressive start to their first season
in the competition and victory at Windscale propelled them into second position.
 
Nor  should their success in Cumbria be under-rated because Windscale would have
gone second had they won.
 
The  Bridge though built up a two-goals interval lead and after conceding a goal
mid-way  through  the second half, withstood late pressure for a fully  deserved
win.
 
Michael  Carter gave them the advantage on the half-hour, slotting the ball past
goalkeeper James Dolan and four minutes later he converted a penalty.
 
Windscale  rallied  for  Dean  Rogers to throw his side a  lifeline  but  Bridge
goalkeeper  Michael  Fraves  competently  dealt with the  home  side's  attempts
to level.
 
Darlington  are  two points behind leaders Easington Colliery and one  ahead  of
Ryhope CW, who defeated Stockton Town for the second time in a week.
 
The  Wearsiders  romped to a four-goals victory in the previous match  but  were
taken to the wire when they were again on Teesside.
 
James  Fairley  and Chris Trewick fired Ryhope into a two-goals lead  but  after
Martin Thompson reduced the deficit, it was all to play for especially after the
Wearsiders had Richard Jordan sent off.
 
Ashbrooke  Belford House are fourth following victory over Cleator Moor  Celtic.
The  Wearsiders went ahead after just two minutes through Mark Green but it  was
not until the last minute that Lee Andrews made sure of the points.
 
At  the other end of the table Boldon CA are still pointless. They lost for  the
12th  consecutive  game  despite  being  in front  courtesy  of  Shaun  Reay  at
Kirkbymoorside who then replied four times through Ryan Rivis (2), Damon Cox and
a Martin Cooper own goal. Chris Robertson converted a late penalty for Boldon.
 
Prudhoe  Town remain second from the basement after they shared the points  with
Silksworth  for  whom Andy Bowes headed in after 35 minutes. Lee  Best  restored
parity with an excellent volley.
 
Willington  defeated  Annfield Plain with a 76th-minute penalty by Scott  Turner
and Houghton Town also won by an only goal at Coxhoe Athletic.
 
The  home  side  suffered a blow after just five minutes with the  dismissal  of
Shaun Laverick who was deemed to be the last defender.
 
Despite  being  numerically disadvantaged, Coxhoe held their own until the  80th
minute when Neil Maddison headed past goalkeeper Tom Orton.
 
New Marske reached the Third Round of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup with victory
at  Hartlepool  where  they led thanks to Shaun Mackin and Luke  Goodall  before
Johnny Bolton responded.
 
Redcar  Athletic  made  it four wins on the trot. Daniel Drazdauskas  and  Billy
Millington  were  their matchwinners at home to Jarrow who had Dean Patton  sent
off four minutes from time.
 
Easington  Colliery  were the League's last remaining hope in the  FA  Carlsberg
Vase  but  they  went  out  at Leeds Carnegie  who  enjoyed  a  four-goals  romp
courtesy of Greig McCrorie (2) and Kyle Hawthorne (2).
