WEARSIDE LEAGUE

Ryhope CW conceded a last-minute winner to newcomers Scarborough Town who have won their first three games to open up a lead at the top of the table.
Nathan Cook converted a penalty on the stroke of half time but it was no more than the Wearsiders deserved when Richard Jordan fired home the equaliser from just inside the penalty area.
With time running out a draw looked the likely result but on 90 minutes Cook's drive from outside the area took a deflection on its way into the net.
Easington Colliery were the biggest scorers of the day as they hit Houghton Town for eight.
The visitors, without five regulars, went in front on five minutes through Mark Catchside but this was to be their only success.
Martin Jones bagged a brace by the 15th minute and although Houghton then held out until six minutes into the second period, they leaked a further six goals in little more than half an hour.
Neil Errington, Chris Wallace, Danny Flounders, Peter Crawford and Paul Coxon all beat the overworked Kevin McCluskey and just before the end Jones completed a superb hat-trick.
Coxhoe Athletic are one of only two sides still pointless. They suffered a third consecutive defeat when Jarrow, who had lost their first two games, enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 victory.
Adam McDonald headed the South Durham side in front but a penalty from Peter Halliday restored parity and before the interval Jarrow grabbed the initiative through Peter Kane.
Coxhoe goalkeeper Tom Orton made one outstanding save but was powerless to prevent Andrew Brabbs and Richard Stubbs earning Jarrow their first points.
A late strike from David Hopper proved pivotal for Boldon CA who just edged Kirkbymoorside. Mark Johnson was the home side's other marksman with Paul Round temporarily raising the hopes of the visitors.
Shaun Ross (2), Stephen Chapman and Kevin Dixon led Hartlepool to victory at Guisborough HC for whom David Campbell twice scored while an only goal from Glen Walker enabled Wolviston to record their first win, at Willington.
Dean Lee and Aaron Robertson netted for Annfield Plain with New Marske responding through Alex Anderson and Shaun Mackin.
Silksworth were saved a long travel into Cumbria when torrential rain caused the postponement of their fixture with Cleator Moor Celtic. The game between Windscale and Teesside Athletic also fell victim to the weather.

Ryhope CW topped the scoring charts in last night's Wearside League programme when they romped to a 5-1 victory over Windscale.
Man-of-the-match was Richard Jordan who netted a superb hat-trick but in an excellent team performance, Martin Metcalfe and Glen Moan also found the net.
There was only a minute remaining as Dean Rogers claimed a consolation for the Cumbrians.
Following their opening-day victory Houghton Town went down 3-0 to Guisborough Town HC who also had a hat-trick hero in Jonathan Sharkey.
Ashbrooke Belford House made it two wins out of two when they saw off the challenge from Jarrow at Perth Green.
Peter Benson fired the Wearsiders in front and Dave Scott added a second goal but when Keith Hallway reduced the deficit from the penalty spot, it was all to play for.
Boldon CA lost a seven-goals thriller at New Marske who were reduced to 10 men on 65 minutes when goalkeeper Justin Hutchinson handled outside the penalty area.
Dave Brown, Rob Jones and Danny Wilkinson had the Seasiders three goals up before Mark Johnson reduced the arrears.
Jones then made it 4-1 but in a frenetic finale Chris Robinson struck twice for Boldon who were unfortunate not to claim a point.
Silksworth played their first game and edged Coxhoe Athletic with two excellent goals.
Cameron Marshall placed his shot into the top corner of the net a minute before the interval and midway through the second period Andrew Place chipped the goalkeeper when one on one.
Easington Colliery left it late before gaining a share of the points with Wolviston at Welfare Park.
Glen Walker scored with a direct free kick but before the interval Barry Turton produced a clinical finish for the Colliers' equaliser.
A swerving left-foot shot by Luke Bennington evaded Easington goalkeeper Joe Atherton but with just a minute remaining Martin Langley fired through a ruck of players and Wolviston's debutant goalkeeper Adam Green was unsighted.
Two goals from James Kesterton earned Teesside Athletic the points at Annfield Plain whose only reply was credited to Roy Gordon.
Steve Chapman rounded goalkeeper Grant Carson but his effort was insufficient to save Hartlepool from defeat at Cleator Moor Celtic whose marksmen were Darren Johnson (2) and Lee Dunn.
Newcomers Scarborough Town won for the second successive game, defeating Kirkbymoorside with efforts from Luke Jenkinson, Wayne Brooksby and George Rose. Jonathan Brown responded.

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.
