RYHOPE CW moved into second position, only three points behind Easington
Colliery with last night's victory over one-time leaders Annfield Plain.
James Fairley buried a low right-foot shot into the net from 20 yards and early
in the second period John Butler converted a penalty awarded after he had been
fouled.
Martin Swales' side enjoyed most of the possession and only an outstanding
performance by visiting goalkeeper Stephen Kennedy kept his side in with a
chance.
Easington Colliery quickly bounced back from the disappointment of losing in the
FA Carlsberg Vase at the weekend.
They too won by a 2-0 margin in the local derby with Hartlepool. Barry Turton
gave goalkeeper Mark Bell no chance with a tremendous shot from the edge of the
penalty area and eight minutes later Adam McGuinnes headed through a crowded
goalmouth.
Ashbrooke Belford House are up to third, level on points with Ryhope CW.
Tommy Dobbing's side overcame the loss of Mark Egglestone, who was sent off in
the 50th minute after receiving two yellow cards.
Ashbrooke goalkeeper Brett Wilson saved a second-minute penalty and just before
the interval Michael Charlton opened the scoring with an exquisite lob from long
range.
Despite their numerical disadvantage, Ashbrooke were rarely troubled and sealed
victory with two goals in the last 15 minutes from Peter Benson, one from the
penalty spot.
Inconsistent Houghton Town went down 5-1 to Wolviston, who won for only the
third time.
Jamie Owens struck a hat-trick and although Simon Williamson threw the hosts a
lifeline, the Teessiders finished strongly with Ryan Hebb bagging a brace of
goals.
Boldon CA claimed their first point in 13 games and were close to winning all
three against fourth-top Darlington Cleveland Bridge.
Shaun Reay fired the South Tynesiders into an eighth-minute lead which could
have been doubled had Bridge goalkeeper Michael Thraves not saved a penalty by
his opposite number Gary Frater.
The miss proved costly and five minutes from time Danny McLachlan levelled to
deny Boldon the victory which they richly deserved.
Danny Lee was an early marksman for Willington at Hall Lane but Coxhoe Athletic
quickly hit back to finish 4-1 winners courtesy of Philip Bulmer, Paul Cantwell,
Graeme Richardson and Michael Hillary.
There was an amazing game at Kimberley Park where New Marske defeated Prudhoe
Town 7-5.
It looked all over for the Seasiders when Prudhoe romped into a four-goals lead
thanks to Gavin Lisle (2), Brett McGill and Ian Costello.
Although Andrew Dawson and Andrew Rowe reduced the arrears, Prudhoe went in at
the interval 5-2 in front as McGill claimed his second goal of the night.
It was a different scenario in the second period, however, when New Marske
scored on five occasions. Dawson took his personal tally to four with the Mackin
twins Michael and Shaun also finding the net.
