Chester Osborne were hosts to Chiton club in the quarter finals of the JD Taxis Gaurds cup, and it was the Osborne who progressed to the next round after a 6-4 win.
Chilton went one up in the first five mins only for Wes Hood to reply straight away at the other end. Once again Chilton pushed and were rewarded with another not long after only for Wes Hood to reply again soon after with a header into the top corner from an Andrew Willcock free kick.Chilton went ahead again but were unable to keep their lead and Lloyd Mcgee calmly finished from 15 yards to make it 3-3.The Osborne pushed again and Wes Hood managed to squeeze home a header at the back post for the osborne to take the lead for the first time in the game before Chilton equalized.Chris Winn took the ball down the left to play a perfect pass into Chris Days who calmly flicked the ball past the Chilton keeper.Both teams pushed in a tiring game before and it was Wes Hoods fourth of the game that sealed it, firing past the Chilton Keeper from 20 yards.

In the First Division Lumley Fc crashed to a 5-2 Home defeat from visitors Esh Winning Cricket Club Niki Robson and Andy Armstrong scoring for Lumley. Due to injuries and absentees the Division One leaders Washington Arms turn out an under strength side that still proves to be too strong for lowly Sacriston Wmc. The game is decided in the first half with all the goals coming before the break. Michael Ramsey, normally the Arms keeper but relishing playing up front opens the scoring after fifteen minutes. However Sacriston soon hit back with the goal of the game, a rasping twenty five yarded giving stand in keeper John Lawless no chance.  Late in the first half a brace of goals for Michal Stubbs is enough to ensure the three points go to the Washington Arms. In division one Houghton Mill All Stars were very unfortunate to come away from Washington JFC empty handed. After twenty minutes Mill's Steve Malloy rounded keeper David Smith only to see his shot scooped off the goal line by Joni Grainger. Fifteen minutes later Mill were unlucky again when Jamie Parker rattled the Washington post with a shot from fifteen yards out.The game remained stalemate until half way through the second half whena badly timed tackle from Mill's James Cattell gave away a penalty kick from which Brian Roussell cooly placed the ball into the corner of the net for 1-0. Mill kept on attacking the JFC goal but despite several attempts they failed to score. In the dying moments of the game Mill had one last push for the equaliser but left themselves open at the back and a JFC breakaway in the 90th minute left Marc Briggs with only keeper Pearson to beat to seal the game at 2-0.

In the Second Division Second Placed The Steelers entertained Durham Bede Lodge it  was Steelers' second game of the 2009/10 season run-in and it finished with a 3 - 0 victory to the home side. Goals came from Liam Bowes, Adam Malekpour & Stephen Clifford. The game ended 0 - 0 at half time, but Steelers were the dominant side in the second half when they scored all three all of their goals. Adam Malekpour picked up the MOM award from the opposition, but Chris Welch had a great game among a strong defence. Pelaw Grange Dogs travelled to East Rainton to Play the Travellers Rest.thw First 10 Mins saw the Dogs dominate the game but a fierce shot against the run of play from East Rainton could only be parried into the Pelaw's net by keeper Wayne Laws after about 10 minutes. Once again Pelaw dominated the game but couldn't score. Mark Stevenson went close when he broke free only to be first thwarted by East Raintons keeper Thomas Hotchless and then a blocked by a defender.Then after about 30 minutes East Rainton were lucky not to go down to 10 men when Gary Newman threatened one of the Pelaw players but even though Pelaw's keeper Wayne Laws, who was 20 meters and heard it plainly,  protested to the referee the play was waved on. Pelaw then went 2 nil down before the break. Shortly after half time Pelaw changed their formation pushing David Donnelly into midfield and this soon resulted in a goal from David Donnelly to make it 2-1 but then an awarkward cross ball, that was handled first by the East Rainton player they saw themselves go 3-1 down. Pelaw then scored in the 88th minute when a shot from David Donnelly was deflected only for Chris Hawkins to run onto the ball and score to make it 3-2 at the final whistle. This seems to be Pelaw's boggy team as they have dominated games against them but always failed on this pitch that was particularly slippy in the middle with several players falling when turning.

 The Big Game in the Third Division saw a Big Washington Derby Leaders Washington Victoria INN travel to fourth placed and near neigboughs Washington Usworth Top Club the Victoria bossed the game throughout and Usworth keeper made a number of good saves to stop the score increasing further. Paul Kindon and Andrew Cameron put the Victoria into a 2-0 lead at half time, before a fine overhead kick from Ryan Mason put us 3 up 5 minutes into the 2nd half. The Top Club got a goal from a corner with rare forage forward but Darren Naisbett came off the bench to restore the three goal advantage not long after. This Made the Final score 4-1 to the Victoria.
