Steven Smith and David Steel took over the management of Silksworth in early December and after losing at Windscale less than 24 hours after being appointed, had to wait until Saturday for their next game.
It was the Colliers' 350th match and there were celebrations all round when they won a nine-goals thriller against Guisborough Town HC.
The home side made a dream start going in front through Anthony Rogerson in the first minute and by the interval they were four goals ahead following further strikes by Andrew Place (2) and Scott Walker.
Guisborough reduced the deficit courtesy of Paul Millwards and Junior Masambi but Rogerson was again on target to take his side's tally to five goals.
Masambi again found the net but Silksworth finished strongly and ended 6-3 winners with David Baker's late effort.
Houghton Town conceded eight goals in their previous game and manager Steve Patton demanded an immediate response at Wolviston.
He was not disappointed. His side kept a clean sheet and an only goal from Kevin Gordon enabled Houghton to erase the memories of their recent form.
Ryhope CW conceded two points at Windscale who led courtesy of Dan Gullen until 10 minutes from time. Glen Moan equalised and the Wearsiders are now 10 points ahead of Scarborough Town, who have three games in hand.
Fifth-placed Ashbrooke Belford House came from behind to win at Kirkbymoorside who led thanks to Damon Cox.
Paul Robertson levelled with a thunderous free kick and a minute from the end David Christie forced the ball home in a goalmouth melee.
Willington moved off the bottom with victory at Coxhoe Athletic, who are third from the basement. Lewis Garvie and John Shields netted for the Hall Lane side with Paul Bulmer keeping Coxhoe in the game until the final whistle.
Boldon CA scored eight times in their previous game but were on the receiving end of an 8-1 rout by Scarborough Town in the Second Round of the Wearside League Cup.
Josh Greening, with a hat-trick, Luke Jenkinson (2), Neil Waterfield, Joel Ramm and Mark Barber all struck for Boro with Eric Thompson Boldon's only marksman.
Teesside Athletic went out of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup 4-2 on penalties at Cleator Moor Celtic who twice led through Barry Irving and Lee Dunn.
A brace from James Kesterton kept Athletic in the tie which went to extra time before penalties decided the outcome.
