WEARSIDE League by MALCOLM PRATT
 
RYHOPE  CW's perfect start to the season was maintained at the expense of Boldon CA last night. Martin Swales' side has now  won all three games, scored 12 goals and conceded none.
 
The  South Tynesiders were on the back foot from the start and after just  seven minutes Jonathan Davies fired past goalkeeper Christopher Anderson.
 
David  Newby doubled the Wearsiders' lead on 20 minutes before two goals in four minutes  from Calvin Magnus and Joe Walton killed any hopes Boldon harboured  of making a comeback.
 
The  home side produced a better defensive performance in the second 45  minutes but right at the end Ryhope went nap with Richard Jordan's strike.
 
Ashbrooke  Belford  House were hit for six on their visit to Kirkbymoorside  who went in front after just three minutes.
 
Robert  McDirmid's goalbound shot was deflected leaving Luke  Jenkinson with  an easy  tap-in.  It was no more difficult for Jenkinson after half an  hour,  when he was again left with an open goal.
 
Two  minutes  into  the second period Daman Cox got on to the end  of  a  Johnny Brown free kick and worse was to follow for Tommy Dobbing's team.
 
Daryl  Rivis  made it four, sidefooting into an empty net, McDirmid broke  clear and  slotted  past goalkeeper Kyle Donaldson who was beaten for a sixth time  by Ryan Rivis.
 
Easington  Colliery  topped  the  scoring charts with  a  seven-goals  blitz  of newcomers Prudhoe Town.
 
Surprisingly,  it took the Colliers until the 44th minute to break the  deadlock as Dale Crawford pounced.
 
From  then  on  the  floodgates opened. David Doughty rifled  a  hat-trick  with Crawford,  James  Gilhespy  and Chris Tarn all beating Prudhoe  goalkeeper  Ross Thomas who was credited with a good game despite conceding seven times.
 
Houghton  Town  returned to winning form comfortably defeating  Coxhoe  Athletic at Leyburn Grove.
 
Their  hero  was Ross Kennedy with a hat-trick. He produced a superb  volley  on 12  minutes and after Shaun Graham doubled the lead, Kennedy made it three  with a well-placed header.
 
Phil  Bulmer  pulled  a  goal back for Coxhoe but Kennedy  beat  goalkeeper  Tom Orton  for  a  third  time, his tremendous left-foot free  kick  from  25  yards flying into the net.
 
Silksworth  have  managed  just  one point from four games  although  they  were close to a draw at home to Annfield Plain.
 
The visitors held on for victory thanks to Dean Lee's 68th-minute header. In the closing  stages,  the  home side hit both the crossbar and post  but  failed  to equalise.
 
Jarrow  surprisingly  conceded  their  100 per cent  record  to  Hartlepool  who rallied after going in at half time a goal behind.
 
Peter  Kane  raised  Dave Bell's team's hopes but after Steve  Thomas  levelled, Shaun Ross and Ian Davies ended any hopes of a Jarrow fightback.
 
Jamie  Lee  and Andrew Bell led Redcar Athletic to victory at Stockton Town  and New  Marske won 4-2 at Windscale thanks to Andrew Dawson (2), Michael Mackin and Paul  Milward.  Michael  Farrer  and Graham Goulding were on the  mark  for  the Cumbrians.
 
Newcomers   Darlington  Cleveland  Bridge  made  it  three  wins  out  of  three defeating Cleator Moor Celtic 4-2.
 
Daniel  McLachlan  rifled a hat-trick and his brother Anthony also  struck  with Greg  Stainton  and  Ryan  Hall responding for Cleator who  had  Barry  Armfield red-carded on the hour.
 
Wolviston  were  leading Willington 2-1 before the game was abandoned  after  63 minutes when the Hall Lane floodlights failed.
