THE two new sides both won with Scarborough taking pride of place following
their 6-1 victory over Jarrow at Perth Green.
It was the home side who scored first though as Kris Goss struck but from then
on it was all down hill for the South Tynesiders, who enjoyed a very good
pre-season.
The Seasiders took the points and the honours as Luke Jenkinson rifled a
hat-trick and Robbie Hawkins, Wayne Brooksby and Dean Craig also netted.
Houghton Town opened with a less spectacular result but nonetheless celebrated
at the expense of Coxhoe Athletic.
Robbie Elliott fired Houghton in front midway through the first period and in
the second half Paul Maw made sure of the points.
New Marske, runners-up last season, went down to Ashbrooke Belford House. Kenny
Taylor headed in a 15th-minute free kick and the Wearsiders added a second goal
on the hour with a clinical 20-yard finish by Stuart Burton.
Willington were wooden spoonists and they too came up trumps, defeating
Windscale. There was little between the teams until John Harrison broke the
deadlock on 70 minutes and just before the whistle, Henry Drummond ended the
hopes of the Cumbrians.
Michael Pattis's early goal for Ryhope CW was cancelled out as Paul Milward
levelled for Guisborough HC, following up when goalkeeper Michael Burlinson
parried a Neil Campbell penalty.
A good run by David Newby opened up the opportunity for Richard Jordan to
restore Ryhope's advantage and two minutes from time, Dickie Hall made sure of
the points.
David Dougherty gave Easington Colliery a first-half injury-time lead but
Hartlepool took the points with goals in the last two minutes from Kyle
McDermott and Shaun Ross.
James Kesterton struck for Teesside Athletic but a minute from the end Michael
Meek, a regular scorer last season, equalised for Boldon CA.
Paul Round bagged a brace of goals for Kirkbymoorside and Annfield Plain hit
back with a Paul Hodgson own goal and an equaliser by Aaron Robertson.
Adam Preston was Wolviston's only scorer at Cleator Moor Celtic who
comfortably won courtesy of Glynn Edwards, Barry Irving and Lee Dunn.
