SHILDON RESERVES 3 V 5 SEDGEFIELD NETPark
EBCHESTER CONSETT RESERVES 0 V 2 HORSLEY HILL FC
In the early exchanges of the game it was Horsley Hill who was on
top. They started brightly and were having the better of the play. Within the
first 10 minutes they found themselves 1 up when Lucas broke the offside trap
and found himself one on one with the goalkeeper. The forward kept his
composure to slot the ball into the bottom corner. Horsley kept the pressure on
after going 1 up and had another chance to put them further ahead but put the
ball wide on this occasion. Ebchester started to pick up after this and the
rest of the first half was fairly equal with no real chances to either side.
Half Time and the away side 1 to the good. Second was a very equal half,
neither team really creating too much in the way of chances and lacking real
energy to take charge of the game. It was Horsley who got the all important
second goal of the game; they nicked the ball in the middle of the field and
broke quickly. They found themselves 3 on 2 and the forward poked the ball into
the bottom corner for his and Horsley's second goal of the game. Ebchester had
a good chance to grab one back soon after this when they found themselves 2 on
1 with the keeper but a good save prevented them scoring there 1 real chance.
Horsley taking the points with a deserved victory.

HYLTON SC 3 V 3 WALLSEND TOWN
Tonight Hylton host Wallsend who are yet to drop points in the
league and they started the game the better team with Hylton finding it
difficult to mark and pass wall send players on and getting caught in possession,
Wallsend broke the deadlock after 20 minutes as the forward rounded the keeper,
0-1 Wallsend.
This gave Hylton a huge lift and passed the ball well but couldn’t get the wing
men into play with sharp closing down from Wallsend, at this point there was
tackles a plenty and Hylton capitalised on a free kick which was floated to Luke
morrow a glancing header hit the top corner. 1-1. HT 1-1 Second half would have
been a very entertaining game for the neutral as both sides battled for possession
it also lead the teams to play safe with long balls to the front men, then a
long ball to Cassidy who was caught in the area! Penalty, Catchiside steps up
2-1.
Wallsend kick off and a mistake from morrow let Wallsend in and the player made
no mistake 2-2, Wallsend also went down to 10 men as a player had too much to
say and was sent off for his second bookable offence. 2-2
Hylton did take advantage of this as mark curry on the left crossed the ball
but it nestled into the bottom corner. Fluke 3-2, sorry mark. Wallsend used the
long ball tactics at this point and gained a free kick 25 yards from goal. The
Wallsend player wouldn’t be able to hit a sweeter shot if he tried, power drive
to beat the keeper. 3-3 takes a bow son! Wallsend went down to 9 men with
another second bookable offence 10 mins from time; Hylton put the pressure on
but couldn’t find the goal needed. An enjoyable game from two good footballing
sides, the cards shown were for back chat to the referee rather than malicious
or deliberate tackles
BRANDON UNITED RESERVES 0 V 3 CHESTER-LE-STREET WHITEHILL
Brandon United 0 Chester-le-Street Whitehill 3
A strong Whitehill’s side found Brandon hard to break down in the first half but they went in front with a well taken Tony Healer goal. The young Brandon players worked hard to limit Whitehill’s chances but goals from Alex Peake and a second from Tony Healer secured the three points. Credit to the Brandon players who never gave up. Brandon's Man of the Match was goalkeeper Joe Hammond playing his first full game in goal having spent the last few games as emergency centre forward. Man of the match for Whitehill was Michael Graver.
