Promotion hopefuls Easington Colliery leap-frogged New Marske into fifth
position when they romped to a 6-1 victory in last night's Wearside League
game at Welfare Park.
The Colliers, who suffered an unexpected defeat at the weekend, were quickly
into their stride and it was against the run of play when Richard Playforth
fired New Marske ahead on 18 minutes.
The setback acted as a spur to Easington and when Andrew Appleby was brought
down, Stephen Manson levelled from the penalty spot.
Just before the interval Andrew Richardson was on target and when he added a
second goal before the hour, the Seasiders were on the back foot.
In the later stages, the Colliers were rampant and took their tally to six with
three goals in the final eight minutes from John Harrison (2) and Darren
Atkinson.
