Round-Up 11/08/12

Premier Division

Amble United marked their arrival in the Premier Division in some style.

They displayed their six appeal with a devastating opening day demolition of Gateshead Rutherford.

The newly-promoted Seasiders had romped into a five goal lead by the break and kept on creating chances after that.

Josh Hay and Sean Taylor shared 26 league goals between each other last season as Derek Atwell’s side took the Division One title and lifted both the Combination and Subsidiary Cups.

The strikers kept on the goal trail with two each while new signing Matty Graham also grabbed a double on his debut.

Percy Main’s Dean Morgan spared his sides’ blushes as he powered a late 30-yard drive into the back of the Stocksfield net as the Villagers salvaged a point after blowing a two goal lead.

Morgan volleyed in the opener from the edge of the box and just two minutes later Kevin Westphal got on the end of a Tony Abladey centre to steer in the second.

But the Griffins grabbed a lifeline just before the break as Chris Hall bundled in at the back post. Then two minutes after half time, Stocksfield were level as Ben Dibb-Fuller took full advantage of some slack defending to slot home.

The Tyne Valley side were in dreamland on the hour as Hall slammed home from the penalty spot and they were just five minutes from a famous victory when Morgan struck.

Killingworth Sporting also had a late goal hero in Michael Bowman is he fired home from a defensive scramble as they drew 3-3 against Blyth Town.

Connall Reed and Callum Benson got the others while Joe Race, Damon Mullen and Graeme Heath all netted for Town, who lead twice.

Ben Telford got on the end of a deflected cross to give Heaton Stannington the lead against Whitley Bay A and then slammed in the second off the underside of the bar for the defending Champions. Bay pulled one back through David Coulson, but the Seahorses couldn’t force the issue.

Seaton Delaval’s Sam Robinson and Ian Mills both recorded debut goals for the Red Devils in a 4-2 success over Ashington Colliers. David Thompson added the other two with Glen Bolton on target twice for the Colliers.

Dan Greenslade nodded Carlisle City ahead against Shankhouse in the 46^th minute then two goals in a minute from Mark Graham and a Craig Cherry header made the points safe.

Harraby United went behind at home to Hebburn Reyrolle when keeper Jack Twentyman brilliantly saved a penalty but Simon Jacobs tucked away the rebound.

Andrew Douglas showed no signs of rust after a season out and levelled for the Cumbrians soon after, before striking again to give them the lead in the 48^th minute.

Aaran Roberts made it three and Mark Thompson thumped in a back post header to complete the turnaround.

Walker Central’s David Tulip shot them ahead against Wallsend Town, who levelled through Gavin Jones when his corner flew in directly under the bar before a desperate defender headed clear.

Divison One

Craig Westaway fired Bedlington Terriers Reserves ahead at Gateshead Redheugh – but the Tynesiders stormed back with a five goal blitz.

John Dewhurst struck twice and Kevin Hay, Chris Hepple and Chris Gill added the others as they rocketed straight to the top of the table.

Red House Farm rocked relegated Ponteland United as Lee Brady (2), a Martin Soulsby penalty and Mark Hallis strike gave them a 4-0 success while Cramlington Town’s Michael Haley hit the only goal of the game in the 38^th minute to give them the points against Willington Quay Saints.

Mark Worral and Cameron Wilson were the Northbank targetmen in a 2-1 win over Wallington, whose reply was an unlucky Gavin Lowes own goal and goals from Elliott Mitchell and Ian Lee gave Cullercoats three points at Forest Hall. Andrew Mitchell netted for the home side.

Scott Robson and Thomas North were on target for Hexham but they were cancelled out by strikes from Gosforth Bohemians’ Darren Campbell and Johnny Hewitt. Both sides had the chance to win it from the penalty spot – and blew it.

Keith Urwin shot Heddon ahead against Newcastle Chemfica Independent in the 42^nd minute and it looked like the writing was on the wall when Kyle Burnett put into his own goal in the 48^th. Damien McGratten gave Chemfica hope with a double in the 55^th and 57^th minutes, but Max Turner won it for Heddon in the 72^nd.

Division Two

New Fordley’s Scott Bamborough hit the quickest goal of the new season, taking just three minutes to stretch the back of the Swalwell net.

Cramlington United’s Ian Dorgan fired them into a 30^th minute lead against North Shields Athletic, who levelled deep into first half injury time with an Anthony Heath penalty. United had a chance to take all three points but were left cursing their luck as they missed from the penalty spot in the 70^th minute.

Dan Alexander thumped in Alston’s opener against Newcastle Benfield Reserves and Nathan Frazer added a second before Tom Clarke grabbed a late consolation.
