Wearside League
by MALCOLM PRATT

WITH Easington Colliery and Ryhope CW on cup duty, New Marske took their
chance and leap-frogged the pair, with victory at Boldon CA.

Sean Mackin was an early scorer but Shaun Reay quickly restored parity.
The Seasiders then began to dominate and goals flowed from Mark Dawson (2) and
Tony Renwick (og).

Just before the end Chris Robinson scored a second goal for Boldon but
New Marske were never seriously threatened and celebrated moving to the top of
the table for the first time this season.

Coxhoe Athletic were hit with a seven-goals blitz at Windscale. Dean Rogers
was the top individual marksman of the day, rifling four goals and
others on target were David Dustin, Dan Gullen and Alan Blair.

A late goal by Scott Turner earned Willington a narrow victory at
Houghton Town for whom Brad Freeman (pen) cancelled out Dean Hanson's early
second-half strike.

Darlington Cleveland Bridge also won by the odd goal in three at
Silksworth who led courtesy of Gary Tyzack.

Adam Wilson equalised in the 80th minute and despite having Ben Griffin
sent off, the Bridge claimed an injury-time winner by Daniel McLachlan.

Eight sides were competing for places in the semi finals of the
Sunderland Shipowners' Cup but only three reached the last four.

The tie between Jarrow and Ryhope CW was abandoned after 65 minutes because
of an injury to the referee.

At this stage, the game was finely balanced. Nathan Johnson and Chris
Trewick had given the Wearsiders a two-goals lead but Jarrow hit back through
Paul Terrell and Peter Kane (pen).

Easington Colliery, Kirkbymoorside and Cleator Moor Celtic all went through
by the same 2-0 scoreline.

Paul Taylor scored both goals in Easington's victory at Stockton Town who
held out until the 70th minute. Taylor produced a clinical left-foot finish
before converting a penalty.

Daryl Rivis headed Kirkbymoorside in front and Rob McDirmid booked his
side's place in the semi finals at home to Annfield Plain.

Robbie Fowler scored both Cleator Moor Celtic's goals at Redcar Athletic
who had the opportunity to reduce the deficit but Nicky Ward fired wide from
the penalty spot.

Wolviston took Crook Town, from the STL Northern League Second Division,
to the wire before going out of the Durham Challenge Cup. Kevin Devine scored
the only goal.
