HYLTON SC 4 V 2 COUNDON & LEEHOLME YOUTH FC
Hylton v Coundon is a fixture neither team wanted to lose but there
was a winner and a worthy one at that. Both teams kept it tight in all
positions and didn’t want to make any mistakes so long balls was pretty much
the play for the first 15 mins until 1 landed behind the Coundon full back to
let in Cassidy who crossed to Wooton, easy 1-0 Wooton. Coundon were on the back
foot and Hylton passed with confidence, a shot from outside the box deflected
off the keeper and landed to Wooton who lobbed the wondering keeper from
25yrds, Wooton 2-0. Hylton played as though the game was over but Coundon never
stopped playing and closing down and it paid dividends as a mistake from the Hylton
full back let Coundon in who scored 2-1, game on. This goal gave a good Coundon
team confidence that played the ball well and scored again from a penalty kick
just on half time 2-2. Both teams came out second half believing they could win
the points and it lead to a scrappy half with some dubious fouls and yellow
cards but the ref handled it well, Hylton introduced Wright (Nelly) who had an
immediate impact on the wing, first touch passed the defender and round the
keeper. 3-2 Nelly. Hylton built as the game went by and another cross from Nelly
who was instrumental second half crossed to find Wooton but the shot was carried
out to Catchiside who made it 4-2. Cassidy and Coundon number 12 right back
competed well and was a pleasure to watch, both players worthy of MOTM.
BISHOP AUCKLAND RESERVES 2 V 1 EBCHESTER CONSETT RESERVES
For the second time in 4 days, these two teams faced each other in
a league encounter, although this time on a beautiful night at Heritage Park.
The early exchanges were close, but the home side edged possession and chances.
Lewis Martin finished poorly when played through one-on-one with his effort
straight at the goalkeeper, but tested him a few minutes later with a better
effort. Alex Cantwell was unable to finish at the far post from a perfect Bobby
Gibson cross. At the other end, James Cleminson had to be at full stretch to
pull off a stunning save from a curling free kick. However, the deadlock was
broken on 29 minutes as Lewis Fitzgerald pulled back for Liam Bain to open his
Bishop account with a delayed run and superb finish to the right corner. The
home side once again started well in the second half, with a number of offside
chances going against them. The visiting man of the match keeper pulled off
further 1v1 saves, and was at full stretch again to deny Lewis Martin from the
right. The visitors were back level on 61 minutes after some neat play
resulting in a fine finish over the on-rushing Cleminson. The visitors then had
a number of chances to take the lead, but fired wide from range. It was once
again left late though as Sam Dixon's effort hit the bar, only for Liam Bain to
head home on 85 minutes to seal the win. The defence, including Bishop Man of
the Match Michael Owens stood firm in the final minutes, but overall a deserved
home victory for Bishops with Consett showing much promise also!
HARTLEPOOL FC RESERVES 5 V 1 JARROW FC GOLD
The two new boys clashed at Hartlepool FC Grayfields site with FC taking their first three points of the season. Bother teams are relatively inexperienced in this league and Hartlepool was a bit slow to start with some poor passing from the midfield. It looked an even affair until an FC player was upended in the box in the 15th minute and the resulting penalty was dispatched by Conall Sweeting. Jarrow fought bravely to get back I to the game but went 2 down on the half hour has Joe Evans fired into the bottom corner. Charlie Grant and Carl O'Sullivan made it 4 before the break but the visitors didn't stop fighting. The second half saw Jarrow make a spirited fight back and the 2nd half was a more even affair. Credit goes to Jarrow who did not give up but the game was out of reach when Evens hut his second and FC's 5th. Jarrow for the goal they worked so hard for with Bradley Forster firing into the bottom corner. It's fair to say that both teams are finding their feet in this
