WEARSIDE LEAGUE

Ryhope CW twice came from behind to win a thrilling Monkwearmouth Charity Cup Second Round tie at Scarborough Town.
A close contest was anticipated between the two leading teams and the prediction was spot on. Only an injury-time penalty separated the sides as the Wearsiders clinched a 4-3 victory.
Martin Swales' team was on the back foot during the opening half. An own goal gave Boro a dream start and before the interval Joel Ramm doubled the lead.
Ryhope mounted a spirited second half fighback and after John Butler reduced the deficit, David Newby equalised.
The Seasiders regained the initiative with a penalty from Nathan Cook and after Butler restored parity, Ryhope were awarded a stoppage-time penalty which Glen Moan converted.
Just one goal proved sufficient for Wolviston who defeated Guisborough Town HC in the other tie with Alan Foley firing home a 26th-minute penalty.
Jarrow came from behind to defeat Hartlepool 2-1 in the Preliminary Round of the Wearside League Cup.
Goalkeeper Tony Ord made two oustanding saves from debutant Joe Forster before being beaten by John Webster shortly before the interval.
Midway through the second period Liam Clark levelled and with five minutes remaining he struck the winner.
Boldon CA exited the Sunderland Shipowners' Cup at the Quarter Final stage when New Marske won 3-1 courtesy of goals from Stephen Barker, Shane Erskine and Shaun Howes. Chris Robertson was Boldon's only marksman with a penalty.
Ashbrooke Belford House moved into third position behind leaders Ryhope CW and Scarborough Town.
It was not until the 80th minute that Martin Deacon scored the only goal against Houghton Town whose efforts were continually thwarted by the home defence in which David Christie was outstanding.
Easington Colliery went behind to a Michael Owens goal but quickly recovered and ended 4-1 winners at Coxhoe Athletic.
Chris Tarn equalised before the break and in the second period, Adrian Sanders, Rob Huntley and Danny Flounders earned the Colliers the points which lifted them into fifth place.
Silksworth went down to Willington who moved off the bottom of the table with their second win of the season.
Liam Bowes struck the only goal on 21 minutes and although Silksworth pressed during the second period, they failed to produce an equaliser.
Teesside Athletic dropped down to fourth-top when they were held to a goal-less draw by Cleator Moor Celtic.
