In the F.A. Carlsberg Sunday Cup 4th Round Hetton Lyons Cricket Club Travelled to Nottingham to take on the Scots Greys. The holders, Hetton Lyons, crashed out of the national trophy at Nottingham, they failed to produce the kind of form that brought them to Anfield last year, the Lyons failed to score for the first time this season and a poor performance from a strong side saw their dream of a return to merseyside slip away, the only goal of the game came early in the first half and Hetton never recovered from it or the slow start, A Johnston free kick in the first half and a Craig Ruddy shot in the second was the closest Hetton came to equalising, Finch pulled off two or three saves to keep Hetton in the game but they remained frustrated and resigned to a long trip home with no reward, Lyons Secretary David Leitch said " we didnt perform at the level we know we could and now were out, i have to take some of the blame as the preperation wasnt right with some of the players, we have to pick ourselves up for next week"  Lyons next task is County Cup tie away at a rejuvinated Houghton Glendale

Houghton Mill All Stars went through to the JD Taxi's Cup Semi Finals after beating a stubborn Gilesgate Moor Hotel 4-3 in an exciting round three encounter. In wet and blustery conditions the only goal of the first half was after four minutes when an inswinging Steven Ashman corner kick deceivedeveryone to land in the corner of the net. Early in the second half Gilesgate 'keeper James Winter made a great save from Mill's David Hall only for Gary Adey to tap in the rebound. Gilesgate pulled a goal back on the hour mark when Andrew Hart headed home from close range and this spurred Gilesgate to press for the equaliser but some resolute defending from the Mill defence kept them at bay.An enthralling final fifteen minutes produced four goals. Mill's Gary Adey rounded the 'keeper for 3-1 and Kevin Johnston made it four firing in off the post.  Gilesgate hit back through Paul West and a Robert Cooper header for 4-3. Mill 'keeper Dan Pearson made a terrific save in the dying moments to prevent the game going into extra time.

Washington Duke of Albany faced Pelaw Grange Dogs in the 3rd round of the Deerness Driveways Presidents Trophy.  The game was played on a boggy surface, and it was the Duke of Albany who seemed to be coping with it marginally better, they took the lead after 15 minutes, Steven Douglas setting up Lee Munro to slot past Pelaw keeper Craig Baines.  Pelaw were threatening going forward, and deservedly drew level only a couple of minutes after the Duke's opener, Chris Hawkins springing the offside trap and lobbing the onrushing keeper.  Parity lasted only a few minutes though, as Steven Talbot picked out Mark Liddle at the back post who volleyed the ball home to put the Duke 2 - 1 up.  The lead was increased after Graham Fullarton smashed a superb 35 yard free kick into the top corner, giving Baines no chance in the Pelaw goal.  Pelaw almost got back into the game in the opening minutes of the second half, Kevin Turnes hitting the post with an effort from just inside the area.  Duke substitute Stewart Conlon put the game out of reach of the visitors though, climbing highest to head home a corner to make the score 4 - 1.  Jamie Sherriff scored two identical goals, both again from corners, with him scrambling the ball over the line.  Man of the Match Mark Liddle rounded off a fine performance finishing neatly past Baines following a superb through ball from Stuart Sweeney to give the Duke of Albany a 7 - 1 win and a place in the semi finals of the competition.

In the second half Sedgefield took wind advantage and a further four goals from Andrew Beamson and a hat trick from Martin Lower secured a place for St Edmunds in the next round. Pelton Roab finally got agame played after an abandonment and postponements, putting in a very good performance to defeat a very talented Quebec Steelers  side. Pelton  started strongly from the kick off winning headers and some superb strong tackles, Tony Healer gave us the lead after 32 minutes with a brilliant run and finish brushing off the defender and slotting home, this was after the away keeper made to great saves. After the break wPelton went futher ahead  on 67 mins when  Micheal Graver delivered a well flighted ball which decieved the keeper and went in off the bar.

In the Delayed Durham County Avec Sunday Cup 2nd Round Tie Hetton Lyons Cricket Club Travelled to Hartlepool to play Hartlepool Rovers Quoits. This game was billed as a tie of the round, unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations, the clash was a repeat of the 2007 Final which Hetton won 4-0, and on a bitterly Cold day in Hartlepool the Lyons again won and progressed through to the last sixteen. Lyons assistant manager Jason Ainsley said “it wasn’t a virtuoso performance, sometimes you just have to win ugly and today we did just that”. The only goal of the game came at the end of the first half, Adam Johnston continued his good form with looping shot over the keeper to give the visitors the lead, the pitch and conditions didn’t help either side but after both clubs had missed several fixtures the game was played in good spirit, Rovers were reduced to 10 men late on but failed to find a way through the Lyons rear guard with Hyson outstanding, Graydon and Clarke both went close for Hetton in the second half as the score remained 1-0, Hetton have now been handed the task of an away tie to former winners and League rivals Houghton Glendale Social in the third round on the 18th January.

In the First Division Lumley Fc should Have Been Clear Winners by Half Time in the Home Game against Sedgefield Black Lion, But Only Led 1-0, Through a Richard Ward Strike, When They Entertained Sedgefield Black Lion. Sedgefield Began The 2nd Half Brightly & Soon Equalised. The Score Remained 1-1 for A Short Time before Ward Pounced For His 2nd & Restore A Lumley Lead. Lumley Continue To Miss A Host Of Chances & Were Punished By A Late Equaliser. The Game Finished 2-2

In the Second Division Quebec Steelers entertained Hetton Social to have any chance of this game going ahead the pitch was prepared the previous day by moving the mole hills to parts of the pitch that had the odd rut or three. At least Morris Miner, our resident mole was of some use during the festive period but there must be a whole team of miners by the amount of hills around the pitch. The referee inspected the pitch and both teams kicked off on what was a hard pitch but no different to a dry summers day surface apart from the air temperature. The playing surface was not a hazard to any player, with the only difficulty being the bounce of the ball.Hetton Social were sitting bottom of the division but we knew they would push us all the way as they had lost a lot of their games by the odd goal and hadn’t conceded too many in the process. They were also playing in the best colours in the land – Red & White stripes complete with the Sunderland crest. Several chances were put wide during the first half when little bobbles gave the ball a new flight but Stewart Dawson didn’t waste the opportunity to put the lads 1-0 up. Scoring in consecutive games, he capitalised on a defensive mistake on the half way line. Running towards the park end with only their goalie to beat, he shot early when he could have taken it further, but who was I to complain as it beat the away keeper and nestled in the back of the net after glancing in, off the left hand post. At the half way stage it was still 1-0 to the Steelers.
The visiting keeper Robert Mayo pulled off some remarkable saves during the second 45 but there was little he could do to stop us going 2 up. Craig Cairns went on a solo run and he danced around the visiting keeper as he came out to block him. Running at an empty goal we all thought he would put it in with his left foot but no, not Craig!!!!! Allowing the defender to get back and cover the near post he brought the ball calmly back onto his right foot and after what seemed an age he fired the ball home.

In the Fourth Division Washington Duke of Albany Travelled to Neville’s Cross take on Neville’s Cross social, who have a much improved record from last season. After a pitch inspection the referee declared the pitch playable .The game kicked off and early indications were that there would be very little passing football played. The opening exchanges were fairly even but it was the home team who opened the scoring, with their impressive number 4 breaking into the box and finishing neatly across the Hill Keeper Liam Sheriff to bury the ball into the bottom corner. The first half was poor from our point the Conditions not helping after a few words at half time the Duke went out for the second half determined to get back into the game ASAP. They started like a house on fire and Neville’s Cross struggled to get out of their half.  Playing long balls. Jamie Sheriff profited from a punt out of defence from Andrew Cameron as he headed over the keeper and into the net. The Duke took the lead in slightly fortuitous fashion, Lee Munro shot from 30 yards and the ball took another one of those bounces, this time over the diving keeper. The Hill got a 3rd around ten minutes later, Ryan Mason drifting in a well placed corner for Andrew Cameron to rise and head home. The impressive Ryan Mason was getting more and more involved and was rewarded for his efforts as he broke through and fired past the keeper to make it 4-1. A lapse in concentration allowed Neville’s Cross to score to bring the score to 4-2 with ten minutes remaining. Almost immediately after, Lee Munro picked the ball up in his own half and beat three players as he burst into the box and smashed the ball into the top corner for the goal of the game to give a final score of 5-2 to the Duke of Albany.
