In the Durham County Football Association Sunday Cup 2nd Round Holders Hetton Lyons Cricket Club moved into the next round with a comfortable 8-0 Home win over the Sunderland Sunday League Side the Jolly Potter . The weather conditions were horrendous but the Lyons do what they do best and played football for 90 minutes. The Jolly Potter came to the Spennymoor Ground with the reputation of being one of the best sides in the Sunderland Sunday League and in the last round of the County cup defeating Plains farm wmc. The Jolly Potter on the day failed to Turn Up, they had just one shot at goal and they were outclassed from start to finish in every department by the rampant Hetton Lyons. Hetton went 1-0 up after 17 mins great work from Ruddy on the right hand side and crossed for Lawther who side footed it in. In the 28th min it was a penalty for the Lyons, Lawther was brought down in the box and from the penalty the goalkeeper saved from Byrne and from the rebound he smashed it against the crossbar. Warren Byrne got his 1st goal in the 41st minute, a thru ball from Gareth Waite and Byrne ran on to it the beating 2 defenders and the going round the keeper and slotting the ball home, half time 2-0.
The second half got under way and the rain was getting heavier the Lyons made it 3-0 after 50 mins, a great cross from Waite and Byrne hit the ball giving the Potters keeper no chance. Daniel Moore came on for Lewis Dodds after 66mins and with first touch scored, Lawther collected the ball from the half way line and ran at the defence leaving them for dead he then shot at goal with the keeper on the edge of the box who saved it with his feet and rebounded to Moore who Lobbed it over everyone from 25 yds to make it 4-0. John toft created the 5th goal after73 mins with a great run and jumping over the Potters defenders and his shot was saved and Byrne was there for the rebound and his hat-trick to make 5-0.The next 4 goals came in the space of 4 mins, Lawther beat the offside trap to make it 6-0 then Chris Bell was fouled in the box and Lawther claimed his hat-trick from the penalty spot and in the 89th minute the Lyons made it 8-0 with Moore’s shot was parried and Bell scored from the rebound. John Toft finally got on the score sheet with a neat one-two with Ainsley and gave the keeper no chance. Full time 9-0.
Hetton Lyons proved today the could play football whatever the weather and full credit to everyone, the defence didn’t give there forwards a sniff at goal, Ainsley and Dodds in the middle showed them how to win a ball and pass it, and the forwards never stopped battering there goal. Jolly Potters were very disappointing and the finished with 10 men. Brandon Bay Horse also had a Comfortable Home win 8-2 over Stockton Sunday League Side Stockton Sun Inn.Kelloe Wmc Travelled to Easington to Play the HMS Victory Club and in a very close Game progressed to the next Round with a 2-1 win.Sedgfield St Edmunds entertained Trimdon the Dovecote in very heavy conditions they were 4-0 winners. Pelton ROAB’s Game at Darlington DSRM All stars was cancelled due to the waterlogged Pitch. Houghton Glendale Social Crashed out of the Competition Losing 5-0 at Sunderland Sunday League Side Hastings Hill. Langley Park Wmc were 4-0 Home winners Over Hartlepool Rovers Quoits Club. Chester Easy Street crashed out of the County Cup after a disappointing display against Gateshead Premier League side Barley Mow. In treacherous conditions which, almost caused the match to be called off, didn't help matters as Barley Mow showed their supremacy over their fourth division opponents. The Gateshead champions had the best possible start to the game, scoring after two minutes. A ball in from the right was headed against David Tyson and the resulting cross was headed into the net by the unmarked Barley number nine. Easy Street tried to hit back but the conditions were hampering their play although a moment of brilliance from Allen Robson almost unlocked the tight Barley Mow defence. A sumptuous ping from the outside of his foot almost allowed leading scorer Craig Mickle a chance, but his composure let him down at the vital time. Easy’ streets first real chance fell to Anthony Davison, whose left footed free kick looked destined for the bottom right corner only for the Barley keeper to pull off a great save. Easy Street continued to press but always looked fragile when Barley Mow were pouring forward and their number 9 made it 2-0 on 24 minutes. The striker showed great strength and skill to skip past David Cowan and Steven Marriott before slotting a precise finish past James Davidson. Craig Mickle then had a glorious chance to give Easy Street some momentum going into half time but fluffed his lines at the vital moment. A deflected shot from Davison fell to Mickle who improvised an effort with his knee only to the ball hit the bar with an open goal gaping. Barley Mow secured the game five minutes into the second half. Good work from the number eight saw him sidestep Cowan and shot low past Davidson from the edge of the area, with the ball clipping the post before nestling in the back of the net. It was a hammer blow to Easy Street but they still battled on to maintain their pride and could have made it 3-1 on the hour mark. David Hope, who has been in good goal scoring form of late, smashed a speculative 25 yard effort that crashed back off the crossbar. But it was Davison who got the goal that Easy's endeavours deserved. The left wingers persistence was rewarded when his shot was deflected by the goalkeeper and into the net. But again, it was all in vain as James Davidson parried straight into the path of the number nine who completed his hatrick and made it 4-1.
But it was Easy who had the last laugh with David Hope scoring to make it 4-2. A long ball was taken by Davison who skipped past the keeper and crossed for Mickle. The lanky striker showed a great touch, strength and awareness to take it down, turn and lay it off to Hope who blasted in his 3rd in three games.
The final whistle blew soon after and despite a hearty performance Easy Street are out of the County Cup and will sure to be concentrating on their League form as they have a number of games in hand.
