In the Durham County Football Association Sunday Cup In form Side Chester Easystreet Travelled to Teeside to Play Stockton Sunday League Side Billingham Telstar. Easy Street made it to the last 32 of the County Cup with a 2-0 win over Stockton Premier League side Billingham Telstar. It was a dreadful first half from EasyStreet as they struggled to impose themselves on the game and were lucky not to be behind but the Telstar finishing was lacking in any real quality. Easy Street did however have some chances with Craig Mickle and Anthony Davison putting a few wide of the posts but never really testing the Telstar keeper. Mark Peck had the best chance of the first half when his shot was blocked by a Telstar defender and with the goal gaping his second shot was miraculously saved by the goalkeeper. Some half time words from Easystreet manager Michael Dalkin seemed to invigorate the players and they upped the tempo of the game and started to gather momentum. With most of the play coming down the left Davison gave the Telstar right back a torrid time with his pace and close control.

His partner, Mickle should have put Easy Street ahead early in the second half but, after beating three players, his shot is saved by the keeper and as the ball fell at his feet again his goal bound shot was pounced upon by the keeper again who remarkably managed to turn it over the bar. The goal for Easystreet did come with about 20 minutes to go. Good work again by Davison down the left saw him beat three players and square to Mickle who lifted his shot beyond the keeper and into the net. Telstar piled on the pressure from then on as they went in search of the equaliser that would take it to extra-time. Their best effort fell to their number 8 Jones. His fine 20 yard strike brought the best out of James Davidson who got a strong arm to the ball to tip it over. With Telstar piling forward, they were susceptible on the break and Mickle managed to exploit the large gaps in defence as he repaid the assist from Davision earlier as he slipped the ball into him on the left and the winger composed himself before sweeping a low shot into the far right corner of the net. This Put Easy Street Into the last 32 Of the Compeition.Pelton Roab Entertained Sunderland Sunday League Side Sunderland Myers.
