Northern League Division Two
Seaham Red Star 0-5 Ryhope Colliery Welfare
Attendance: 123
It was early start for a trip up the A19 to the coastal town of Seaham, just south of Sunderland. Seaham Red Star were taking on newly promoted Ryhope, from just up the road, in a Northern League Division Two encounter at Seaham Town Park.
It was an early start for early for all concerned but Seaham were still half asleep as Ryhope found themselves two goals to the good after fifteen minutes.
They did have a very early chance but it flashed just wide (pictured right) and from then on in Ryhope seemed to be in control.
After 2 minutes Chris Winn raced clear to give the visitors the lead (pictured left) before he caused more problems in the home area, which resulted Michael Pattison turning the ball into his own net (15).
The game was up for the homesters after 78 minutes when Winn blasted home his second goal, from about 20 yards out.
Another Own Goal (Ross Phillips 89) and an effort from John Butler in stoppage time meant a comfortable three points for Ryhope.
Northern League Division Two
Stokesley Sports Club 1-3 Thornaby
Attendance: 53
It was south from Seaham to Stokesley, near Middlesbrough, or, to be more exact, Broughton Road the home of the Stokesley Sports Club. A well as being home to Stokesley, the ground is also the headquarters of the North Riding FA.
It was a grim afternoon as the predicted rain fall finally arrived and, to be completely honest, the football did little to raise spirits.
It was a poor game as the homesters succumb to another defeat, which leaves them firmly rooted to the bottom of the table. A brace from Daniel Lofts and one from Gary Mitchell gave Thornaby the points, though Ross Hodgson did equalise for Stokesley before half time.
The day was rounded off with a visit to the White Swan, the home of the Captain Cook Brewery. Seeing as it was in Stokesley town centre it would have been rude not to!!
