WEARSIDE League
by MALCOLM PRATT
SILKSWORTH celebrated their first win of the season when they coasted to victory at Boldon CA, who are still pointless.
Chris Wilson fired them in front on the stroke of half time and when Jonathan Fox added a second goal in the 71st minute, the South Tynesiders faced a formidable challenge.
Any hopes they harboured of making a comeback ended when they conceded a penalty which Dean Hannah converted.
Ryhope CW made it three wins out of three at Wolviston but it was not until the last minute that an own goal by Anthony Brown made sure of the points.
Clayton Davis was an early scorer for the Wearsiders and Callum Hannah replied. McGuinness restored the advantage to Martin Swales' team and the result was on a knife edge until the 90th minute.
Houghton Town led by three goals at Darlington Cleveland Bridge but had to withstand late pressure to win by the odd goal in five.
Shaun Graham (2) and David Keighley (pen) appeared to have the visitors on the road to a comfortable win but when Anthony McLachlan and Michael Carter (pen) beat keeper Carl Chapman, the outcome was wide open.
Easington Colliery managed just one goal from Paul Taylor at Hartlepool but it was sufficient to extend their 100 per cent record to four games.
They have scored 17 times and conceded just once and lead the table on goals difference from New Marske and Annfield Plain.
The Seasiders easily defeated Ashbrooke Belford House, who have not managed to extend their excellent pre-season form into league games. Shaun Mackin scored all three goals as Tommy Dobbing's side suffered a third defeat.
Paul Henderson (3) and William Smith earned Annfield Plain the points at home to Windscale who were always in with a chance with goals by Dean Rogers (2) and Laurie Black.
Dean Patton (2) and Christie Elliott were the marksmen for Jarrow at Coxhoe Athletic for whom Chris Garbutt replied from the penalty spot.
Willington, wooden spoonists in the last two seasons, are up to mid-table after winning for the second time. Jonathan Staff's late strike proved enough at home to Stockton Town.
Kirkbymoorside were deposed as leaders when they went down at Cleator Moor Celtic for whom Darren Johnson scored the only goal.
There was no shortage of goals, however, at Redcar Athletic who hit Prudhoe Town for six. James Kesterton, with a hat-trick, Daniel Drazdauskas (2) and Stewart Poulter were the scorers.
