WEARSIDE LEAGUE By MALCOLM PRATT
 
EASINGTON  Colliery are on course for a double after comfortably seeing off  the challenge from Stockton Town in the Wearside League Cup on Saturday.
 
The Teessiders  held their high-flying opponents until early in the second  half but  once  Barry  Turton slid the ball into the net, Colliers took  control  and were never troubled.
 
Adam  McGuinness stretched the lead and shortly before the end Turton was  again on target.
 
Ryhope  CW were also on cup duty and eased past 10-man Jarrow in the  Sunderland Shipowners' Competition.
 
It  was  not  a good day for Jarrow's two debutants who had waited so  long  for their first outings.
 
Goalkeeper  Chris  Hope was beaten on 25 minutes with a John Butler  header  and Nick Pain headed into his own goal shortly afterwards.
 
Worse  was to follow for the visitors when Mark Brocklehurst was shown a  second yellow card five minutes before the interval.
 
The  three  leading sides were on cup duty with Marske United going out  of  the North Riding County Cup but Ashbrooke Belford House failed to narrow the gap.
 
They  remain  fourth after surprisingly going down to Boldon CA who  arrived  at Silksworth with just two wins from 18 games.
 
Tommy  Dobbing's side was on the back foot from the start following Shaun Reay's early  strike.  Michael Meek doubled the lead and Reay again struck before  Ryan Steel claimed what was no more than a consolation for the hosts.
 
Silksworth  produced a spirited performance but lost by the odd goal in three at Hartlepool.
 
Stephen  Thomas converted a penalty before Anthony Rogerson deservedly levelled. The  result  was very much in the balance but it was Pools who came out  on  top with a winning goal by Andy Ross.
 
Houghton  Town  jumped  two places and are now seventh from the  basement  after their narrow win at Willington where Ben Maddison scored the only goal.
 
A  hat-trick by Dominic Elliott was the feature of Annfield Plain's victory over Coxhoe  Athletic.  Stephen Kirkbride also found the net with Philip  Bulmer  and Dan Hatton on the mark for the South Durham side.
 
Switching the fixture to Prudhoe Town did not deter Wolviston who easily claimed the  points courtesy of Kallum Hannah (2) and Ryan Hebb. Prudhoe remain  bottom, still without a win following 19 attempts.
