WEARSIDE LEAGUE by MALCOLM PRATT
 
THE  two  new  sides both won with Scarborough taking pride of  place  following their 6-1 victory over Jarrow at Perth Green.
 
It  was the home side who scored first though as Kris Goss struck but from  then on  it  was  all  down hill for the South Tynesiders, who enjoyed  a  very  good pre-season.
 
The  Seasiders  took  the  points and the honours as  Luke  Jenkinson  rifled  a hat-trick and Robbie Hawkins, Wayne Brooksby and Dean Craig also netted.
 
Houghton  Town opened with a less spectacular result but nonetheless  celebrated at the expense of Coxhoe Athletic.
 
Robbie  Elliott  fired Houghton in front midway through the first period and  in the second half Paul Maw made sure of the points.
 
New  Marske, runners-up last season, went down to Ashbrooke Belford House. Kenny Taylor  headed in a 15th-minute free kick and the Wearsiders added a second goal on the hour with a clinical 20-yard finish by Stuart Burton.
 
Willington  were  wooden  spoonists  and  they too  came  up  trumps,  defeating Windscale.  There  was  little between the teams until John Harrison  broke  the deadlock  on  70 minutes and just before the whistle, Henry Drummond  ended  the hopes of the Cumbrians.
 
Michael  Pattis's  early  goal for Ryhope CW was cancelled out as  Paul  Milward levelled  for  Guisborough  HC, following up when goalkeeper  Michael  Burlinson parried a Neil Campbell penalty.
 
A  good  run  by  David Newby opened up the opportunity for  Richard  Jordan  to restore  Ryhope's advantage and two minutes from time, Dickie Hall made sure  of the points.
 
David  Dougherty  gave  Easington  Colliery a first-half  injury-time  lead  but Hartlepool  took  the  points  with  goals in the last  two  minutes  from  Kyle McDermott and Shaun Ross.
 
James  Kesterton struck for Teesside Athletic but a minute from the end  Michael Meek, a regular scorer last season, equalised for Boldon CA.
 
Paul  Round  bagged a brace of goals for Kirkbymoorside and Annfield  Plain  hit back with a Paul Hodgson own goal and an equaliser by Aaron Robertson.
 
Adam   Preston   was  Wolviston's  only  scorer  at  Cleator  Moor  Celtic   who comfortably won courtesy of Glynn Edwards, Barry Irving and Lee Dunn.
