Hetton Lyons Cricket Club Finally Got their F.A.
Carlsberg Sunday Cup 3rd Round Tie against Thornhill
on Sunday. After two postponements and a pitch
closure on Wednesday night the third round game
finally went ahead on Sunday at the Brewery Field,
home to Spennymoor Town. The FA Rules for this
Competition state the Tie is reversed if the Home
Pitch is deemed unplayable after two Gos.This was a
clash between County Champions with Durham taking the
spoils over near neighbours West Riding. Thornhill
had boasted a good record going into the game with a
side that included some players with Unibond Northern
Premier League experience, it was however the hosts
who started better and could've been one up inside 60
secs, Adam Johnston's accurate cross found Clarke but
his header was parried by keeper
Thompson, Johnston himself also
found him in good form as he blocked
his shot on 10 mins, but the game came alive in the
18th minute as against the run of play Thornhill
took the lead, great hold up play by Nathan Kemp
in the box and he squared for Lee Brook to unleash a
shot into the top corner from 20 yards with Finch
helpless, the goal seemed to feed both teams, Finch
was called into action on the half hour touching over
the bar from a John Walton header, the holders drew
level 10 mins before the break, Stuart Brightwell
jinked his way past Clegg and his cross was met by
Jamie Clarke, it looked as though it would stay
that way till halftime until Leon Ryan slid in at the
far post to make it 2-1 his third goal in the
competition, the game was virtually settled in the
48th minute when referee awarded Hetton a
penalty, Craig Walton fouling Clarke in the
box, Adam Johnston converted the kick and from then
on it was Hetton, Johnston scored again 6 mins later
Clarke the provider and then Clarke made it 5-1 with
an assist from man of the match Craig Ruddy, Ruddy
proved a thorn in their side all game and he broke
free only to be felled by keeper Thompson and with
his last kick of the day Johnston claimed his
hat-trick from the spot, Jamie Clarke was
rewarded for his efforts with his own hat-trick 8
mins from the end, and sub Chris Lowther rapped up
the match with the eighth on 88 mins, Thornhill
Manager Chris Ward said " its a great competition, we
were a few players light today and it showed" he
added " we'll come back next year and try
again" in contrast Hetton manager Bradley
Groves commented " the turning point was probably the
1st penalty, it was harsh, they were still in it at
2-1 but the lads responded well at halftime and took
their chances" the Prize for Hetton is another away
trip, this time to Nottingham where they will play
Scots Grey, one of the pre-competition favourites.
In the premier Division Washington Arms earned a much needed Point in a 2-2 draw at Langley Park Wmc, Burnside Made the Long trip to Sedgefield to play the St Edmunds and I a Very Close Game Both sides shared the Points in a 2-2 Draw
In Division 1 Lumley Fc V Sacriston Cc Looked Bound To Be A Stalemate As Both Teams Cancelled Out Each Other & Struggled To Create Chances. But With Less Than 10 Minutes Remaining Lumley's Craig Elliott Was Controversially Judged To Of Handled In The Box, Robert Nixon Made No Mistake From The Spot & Gave Sacriston A 1-0 Lead Against The Run Of Play. Lumley Continued To Dominate Possession & Their Dominance Paid Off When, Mark Elliott Was Bundled Over In The Box & A Penalty Was Awarded, Which Steven Roughley Slotted Home For The Equaliser, the score 1-1, Brandon Sports were 8-1 Winners at Chilton Wmc.
In the Second Division Durham Bede Lodge were 9-4 Home winners over Chester Plough Inn, Chester Osborne were 3-1 Winners at Pelton Fc, Sherburn Lambton Arms shared the Points in a 2-2 Draw at Washington Lambton Village.
In the Third Division another High scoring game saw East Rainton Travellers Rest win 8-2 against visitors AFC Newton Hall. Washington Colliery were 3-1 winners at Houghton Chilton Lodge.
In the 4th Division the Witton Gilbert Glen entertained Quarrington Hill Wmc An enthralling game was settled by the odd goal in seven to break the run of draws between these two sides. Glen started quickly and were pressurising from the off with wingers David Winter and Anil Dalani finding space on either flank. The opening goal came six minutes in from a neat move down the right. Dalani beat his marker, cut into the box and fired a low cross toward the near post which was spilled by the keeper and forced home by Winter four yards out. Glen were dominating the game and midfield pair Andrew Goodburn and David Wardle were pulling the strings in the middle of the park with Goodburn playing his usual hard working role and Wardle providing the creative spark with some excellent passing and movement going forward. The second goal came from the centre of the park. Liam Summers won a header deep in his own half and the loose ball was picked up by Goodburn who fed Paul Anderson on the edge of the centre circle and his through ball found the run of Ben Sanderson who kept his composure to round the keeper and roll the ball in left footed from 16 yards to make it 2-0 on 22 minutes. Glen continued to make chances and but for some good saves, a controversial offside and some wasteful finishing would have extended their advantage before half time.Glen didn't start the second half well and let Quarrington Hill back into the game after four minutes of the first half. Some indecision between Summers and Chris Wharton allowed Quarrington Hill's striker a clear shot on goal and one he didn’t waste, smashing the ball high past Andy Grant from 18 yards. The equaliser came six minutes later from another defensive mistake as both Summers and Aaron White had chances to clear but failed to do so and the ball was forced in from eight yards to level the match at 2-2. Glen hit back within 2 minutes to regain the lead. Again the ball was worked through midfield with Shaun Glendinning, Goodburn, Wardle and Dalani. Wardle and Dalani exchanged passes and Wardle fired a low cross toward the far post where he found Winter who controlled and stroked the ball home left footed for his second of the match. Quarrington Hill found a second equaliser around five minutes later when a missed interception left Grant exposed and he could do little to stop another good shot from 18 yards. The final goal of the game came on 75 minutes.
The ball was again worked through midfield and found Anderson on the left edge of the box. Some neat footwork took him clear of his marker who then clipped him to concede a penalty which Anderson tucked away comfortably to the goalkeeper's right. Glen made further chances and could have extended their lead but saw the game out to finally record a victory over a stubborn opponent and continue their good home form. Pelton Bird Inn entertained Neville’s Cross Social Club both teams started game well and the first goal came to the bird from the penalty spot after 15 mins.With an evenly matched first half Pelton ended the half only 1-0 to the good.Peltoon started second half well with another goal after 67 mins.for Striker Carl Ritchie only to find our selves conceded one 8 mins later by some careless defending to make it a nail biting finish until only a couple of mins. later Pelton were awarded a free kick about 35 yards out to the left hand side which Carl Ritchie took and rocketed in to the top left corner to complete his hatrick and win the game 3-1 the final score. Man of the match well deserved to Carl Ritchie.Shaforth Plough Inn were 4-3 winners at Framwellgate Moor Wmc. The Ferryhill Surtees were 3-1 winners at Kelloe Davy Lamp, and Washington Duke of Albany were 3-0 Home winners over Witton Gilbert Wmc
Pelaw Grange Dogs FC entertained Langley Park social Club FC in the Deerness Presidents Trophy Second Round, Although Pelaw looked the stronger team they had failed to score or have many shots on goal by half time. Langley had two lively forwards as did Pelaw and Langley's defence was doing well to make it nil all at half time
In the second half Pelaw didn't seem interested and allowed the visitors to take a 2 goal lead one from a set peace and another when Pelaw pushed up too high. It could have been more if it hadn't been for Scott Pattison in goal and some strong running back by David Donnelly to kick off the line and block a shot when Langley were clean through.
It wasn't until the last half hour of normal time that Pelaw started to show their class with a well taken goal by Neil Worley in a solo effort and then just before full time they managed to equalise via Chris Hawkins. The pitch was heavy and in the second half Langley lost their number 3 to injury and had to be replaced.Pelaw then showed their resilience with goals coming from Russell Fowler who had ran tirelessly all match, Chris Hawkins and Kevin Turnes who had seen several shots saved by an inform keeper for Langley. Chester Hilda Park were 4-1 Home winners over visitors Brandon United Sunday. In the First Round of this Competition Coxhoe Wmc were 6-2 winners at Hetton Social Club, and a Great solo effort from Michael Absom in the 89th Min Gave Ushaw Moor Cricket Club a very Hard earned win at Washington Usworth Top Club 1-0.

The Swinburn Maddison Durham Sunday Football League,
after two blank Sundays and despite the Snoowy wet
weather some games in the League were able to go
ahead.
Houghton Mill All Stars' Steve Fenn notched four goals to send Mill, through to the next round of the NTL Transport League Cup 2nd Round in a, comfortable 5-0 home win against Nevilles Cross SC. David Hall set Fenn up for his first goal on fifteen minutes, Gary Adey,rounded the Nevilles Cross 'keeper ten minutes later and crossed for, Fenn to knock home his second., After fifty minutes a neat left wing run and cross by Steven Ashman, found Gary Adey at the far post who slammed in Mill's third.
Mill's fourth was the goal of the game which started with Kevin Johnston, collecting the ball just outside his own penalty area. Johnston ran the, entire length of the field beating three opposing players before passing, to Fenn who coolly bent the ball over the 'keeper into the corner of the net. Fenn netted his fourth and Mill's fifth five minutes from time. The game, was slightly marred towards the end when Mill 'keeper Dan Pearson was, accidentally kicked in the head when diving for the ball. With blood, pouring from his face Pearson was taken to hospital for treatment.Sacriston Wmc travelled to the Washington Duke of Albany and were 1-0 winners.
In TheAvec Durham Football Association County Cup Lumley Fc Entertained Former All England Champions Coundon Conservative Club. Although Coundon lead 1-0 trough a controversial 1st half goal, Lumley put in a brave, battling performance, but late goals made it a final score of 4-0 to Coundon.
In the FA Sunday Cup Hetton Lyons Cricket Clubs game at Dewsbury against Thornhill Lees for the premier Division of the Heavey Woollen Sunday Alliance Football League was Cancelled and has now been re arranged for next Sunday.
In the Premier Divison the only game played saw Ferryhill Wmc win 6-0 at Washington Arms Andrew Dixon 2, and one each for Kevin Hodgson,Chris Dixon, Sean Foster and Josh Gibson.
In the Third Divison Quebec Steelers were away to Chester Plough, and the downfall of snow overnight seemed to miss Chester, which was great. Steelers got off to a great start. Playing some great football, but didnt open the scoring till the 35th minute with Paul Broom cutting inside the 18 yard box and slotting it past the keeper.
Minutes later Broomy took the Steelers 2-0 up, and that is how the first half finished. Kicking off the second half Liam Bowes finally found the net after many missed chances in the first half. After that the goals seemed to roll in , with goals from Iain Race, Craig Cairns and two from Stuart Dawson. The home side didnt give in though and in a frenzied 10 minute attack they scored one back against the Steelers. Final score 7-1. A Game that had some amazing football on the day, matched by a fantastic performance by the referee; Mark Moore.
Goals from Stephen Adair 2 and one each for Jon Collings and Neil Cutmore were not enough as Cassop Victoria crashed 6-4 at East Rainton Travellers Rest
In the Fourth Divison A fantastic effort by Witton Gilbert Glenndenning Arms, management, chairman and players ensured this home game against Bowburn Crowtrees went ahead. After marking out lines in the snow with brushes and recieving the go-ahead from referee Chris Bramley this game got underway on a crisp winter morning and turned out to be a decent game. The Glen started much the better and were, as usual, playing some decent football despite the conditions. After a couple of early efforts which didn't really work the Bowburn goalkeeper Glen took the lead through Jonathan White on the break after twenty minutes. A Bowburn corner was headed out by Summers and picked up by Sanderson who fed White as he crossed the half-way line. Bowburn's offside appeals were waved away and White rounded David Robinson in the Bowburn goal to slot in from twelve yards. Bowburn seemed to wake up after conceding and scored two in ten minutes, both from John Guthrie, to turn the game on it's head. The first came from a defensive error by Andrew Fallon who sliced his clearance facing his own goal and the loose ball was rolled in from 15 yards. The second Bowburn goal came around eight minutes later. The ball was picked up in midfield and worked forward to Guthrie who, after evading three challenges, bent the ball beyond Andy Grant in the Glen goal to put Bowburn 2-1 ahead with a fine finish. The score remained the same until half time despite Glen missing clear chances through captain Paul Anderson twice and forcing a superb save from Bowburn keeper Robinson when player-manager Shaun Forster, making an emergency substitute appearance due to lack of numbers, looked certain to score. Glen could sense there were goals to come and duely found five of them in the second half to consign Bowburn to defeat. Glen's second came from Shaun Forster who, somewhat fortuitously, found the net with a curling effort from the right edge of the area which was surey meant as a cross on 51 minutes. The equaliser galvanised Glen who continued to press forward and found a third goal around three minutes later when a good move down the left found skipper Anderson four yards out who could poked the ball home. Forster got his second and Glen's fourth just after the hour when he was played through by Ben Sanderson and finished well over the advancing goalkeeper. The fifth came with around 12 minutes to play. More good football through midfield found Anderson in the area and his shot was blocked by a Bowburn hand for a penalty which Anderson himself stroked home to the goalkeeper's left. The scoring was completed by Forster who bagged his hat-trick goal with six minutes to play. A powerful curling effort from David Wardle smashed against the crossbar and looped into the air, Forster was first to it and slipped the ball beyond Robinson to seal a deserved win.
Houghton Mill All Stars' Steve Fenn notched four goals to send Mill, through to the next round of the NTL Transport League Cup 2nd Round in a, comfortable 5-0 home win against Nevilles Cross SC.
