SCARBOROUGH Town require just four points from their last three games to pip
Ryhope CW for the championship, and this is assuming the Wearsiders defeat
their rivals next week.
Martin Swales' side suffered a rare defeat last night which could prove fatal.
Easington Colliery won with an only goal from Kevin Devine who fired past
goalkeeper Josh Carmichael in the 20th minute.
Ryhope enjoyed a lot of possession during the second period and Colliers'
goalkeeper James Winter twice denied Mark Davison with brilliant saves.
Scarborough also conceded points when New Marske held them to a 2-2 draw.
Richie Playforth and Sam Garvie (pen) netted for New Marske with Josh Greening
and Nathan Cook (pen) on target for Boro who are four points behind Ryhope
with two games in hand and a significantly better goals difference.
It's been a difficult season for Silksworth but 10 points from the last 18
convinces manager Steven Smith that his side has turned the corner.
They just edged Jarrow with a goal by Gary Tyzack who followed the ball into
the net after his first effort had been parried.
"They beat us 7-1 in the earlier game and our performance last night and
recent results bode well for next season," claimed Smith.
Coxhoe Athletic need to win their last game if they are to avoid finishing
second from bottom to wooden spoonists Willington.
Following a goal-less first half Wolviston went ahead through Jamie Owens and
on the hour, Owens doubled his team's advantage.
There was no way back for Coxhoe as Owens set up Danny Shield for Wolviston's
third goal.
Teesside Athletic are third-top following victory at Kirkbymoorside thanks to
an own goal by Aaron Rivis and one by Jamie Lee. Uhi Ehimu had levelled from
the penalty spot.
