Ryhope CW won the match of the day when they inflicted a first defeat of the
season on Teesside Athletic to maintain a four-points lead at the top of the
table.
Martin Swales's side went behind after half an hour but quickly hit back and won
a three-goals thriller with Shaun Petch's second-half strike.
Shaun Taylor and James Kesterton combined to set up Greg Booth who fired into
the bottom left-hand corner of the net, giving Ryhope goalkeeper Neil Atkinson
no chance.
The Wearsiders equalised within seven minutes. John Butler's shot was parried by
Stuart McDonald but only to Chris Trewick who made no mistake from close range.
Midway through the second period David Newby broke down the right and his
inch-perfect centre was headed in by Petch.
Silksworth failed to halt Scarborough Town's challenge when they were hit for
seven at the seaside.
Luke Jenkinson celebrated his return with a hat-trick, Josh Greening bagged a
brace with Neil Waterfield and Joe Danby adding to the woes of the Wearsiders
who managed just two goals from Scott Walker and Andrew Place.
Scarborough remain second, four points behind Ryhope with a game in hand and
Teesside Athletic stay third.
Wolviston have quietly crept into fourth place and goals by Danny Shields (2)
and Scott Mehan eased them to victory over Jarrow whose only response was
credited to Christie Elliott.
Easington Colliery just edged Boldon CA. Adrian Sanders and Robert Huntley had
them two goals up until the 80th minute but when Kris Robinson reduced the
deficit, it was all to play for in the final stages.
Ashbrooke Belford House found the net on three occasions thanks to Ryan Steel
(2) and Kenny Taylor but still suffered defeat against New Marske.
Shaun Erskine rifled a hat-trick, Shaun Mackin struck twice and his brother
Michael converted a penalty as the Seasiders enjoyed a six-goals romp.
In contrast, an only goal by Aaron Robertson was sufficient for Annfield Plain
at Guisborough Town HC and Houghton Town returned to form defeating Hartlepool
at Leyburn Grove.
Carl McDermott was a fifth-minute marksman for Pools before Billy Harrison (2)
and Kevin Gordon replied.
A month ago Coxhoe Athletic looked down and out at the bottom of the table. They
failed to claim a point from their first nine matches but have taken 10 from the
last four.
Their latest success was at Cleator Moor Celtic. Chris Corbett (2) and Peter
Bulmer had them three goals up inside 21 minutes but in a pulsating encounter
Celtic levelled, scoring three times in just 10 minutes through Chris Thornton
(2) and Craig Scott.
Six goals were scored in the first 35 minutes but only one more followed on the
hour as Kevin Mulgrew won the game for Coxhoe.
Willington remain bottom after losing to Kirkbymoorside whose scorers were Daryl
Rivis and Paul Round (pen). An own goal by Rhys Crowe raised Willington's hopes
but they suffered their 12th defeat in 14 games.
