Premier Division, Belle Vue Old B. 1 v 4 Blackhall CC: The visitors started well and saw a shot hit the post before they took the lead with Steve Harrison's sweet chip over the advancing keeper.

Although the visitors held the upper hand for a while and could have increased their lead, Belle Vue fought back and were unlucky not to equalise before the break. Although they started the second period the better side, it was Blackhall who scored next when Graham Bell headed a second from a corner and took control when Craig Winstanley's 40 yard pass set up Scott Burns for the third. Gareth Peacock added the fourth after good work by Graham Bell and Chris Harrison. The home side did score a consolation but the game, well handled by Billy Reid, was already long gone.

Rovers 3 v 2 Athletic Rugby

The game started at an amazing pace with two goals in the first two minutes. Stuart Ord headed Rovers into the lead but Alan Hoey took immediate advantage of a defensive slip to equalise. The game continues at a fast and furious pace but the only other goal of the first half was Marc Batey's header put the visitors ahead. Rovers upped the pace in the second period and Andrew McKenna found space to drive home the equaliser. Both teams had chances to win before it was settled in the 75th minute when the ball found it's way to Lee Keers and he fired into the roof of the net.

Welfare Cosmo. 4 v 7 West Park

West Park won this basement battle on a heavy pitch at Central Park. They took the lead through Mark Boagey's 30 yard thunderbolt, but David Appleton's slip gifted an equaliser. The home side then took the lead before Appleton atoned for his earlier error by volleying Park level. Welfare re-took the lead and could have made it 4-2 but Andy Elsdon pulled off a superb save from a penalty. Half-time sub Stu Robinson headed home the equaliser and then completed a "perfect" hat-trick with right and left-foot finishes. Matt Lymer added two more to make the game safe before Welfare pulled another back.

The other game saw Burn Valley Club lose 5-0 at home to Sports Bar.

Corner Flag 3 v 2 Travellers Rest

The ever-reliable Darren Coull put Flag ahead from the penalty spot before both sides had a man dismissed. A Shaun Sanderson tap-in made it 2-0 but Travs fought back to get back on level terms through Ross Strathearn and Marvin Walker's penalty. Flag eventually took all three points scoring with the last kick of the game as the two centre-halves combined for Darren Hogg score.

Greatham Bull & Dog 1 v 5 Hartlepool Cricket Club

The Cricketers started well but couldn't convert their chances, and although the Greatham side pressed for much of the half Michael Lambert pounced twice in quick succession to put the visitors ahead just before the break. They carried on into the second half prompted by Dennis Brown in midfield and Lambert completed his hat-trick. John Wood and Jackson Taylor completed the scoring for Cricket Club with tremendous strikes. Bull & Dog played good football throughout and scored a deserved late consolation goal.

Nursery beat Corporation Welfare 3-2 while the Odessa versus The Office clash was abandoned after 43 minutes with the game scoreless.

Charter Bar 4 v 4 Workingmen's Club

They doubled their lead when Allen Richardson made a fine run down the left before rounding the keeper to score. However Charter Bar hit back with two quick goals before the break. The home side continued their purple patch with a further two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half. Workies showed their grit and determination and McCallum pulled one back but Tommy Richardson tied up the game with a late penalty.

Clarendon 3 v 5 St Francis 2000

The visitors took the lead when Michael Butler's long range effort was superbly saved by Paul Parkinson but Antony Coverdale tucked away the rebound. James Turner nodded home Paul Jewson's cross for the equaliser and Marty Waggott rounded the keeper to put Clarendon ahead at the break. Straight from the kick off Martin Honeyman set up Phillip Bassett to put the visitors level again and Coverdale put them in front from the penalty spot. Waggott hauled Clarendon back into the game but David Angel set up Bassett again and Coverdale completed his hat-trick from the spot.

Fens 0 v 2 King Johns Tavern

Lowly King Johns showed table-topping Fens that determination can win games. With the wind at their backs, the visitors took a deserved two-goal lead. Alan Cox's sliced free-kick deceived everyone to find the net, then the just before the break Ian Varley broke down the right and crossed for the unmarked David Fletcher to score. Fens had the vast majority of the possession in the second half but couldn't convert their chances as Andy Davis marshalled his defence well. Best for Tavern were Davis, Williams and Varley with McCulloch and Munro starring for Fens.

Moorcock 2 v 1 Engineers

Engineers have only themselves to blame for going home pointless due to a catalogue of missed chances. Stuart Robson put the visitors ahead but Moorcock equalised just before half-time. Gary Lupton went closest for Engineers in the second half, hitting the bar, but chance after chance went begging. Moorcock grabbed the winner against the run of play.

Owton Lodge 0 v 3 TMD

TMD took the lead from Michael Lloyd's free-kick and he added a second five minutes later with a header. Chris Chapman wrapped up the game with a superb 25 yarder into the top corner. Eglintine was best for the home side with Chapman, Hudson and Hammond outstanding for the winners.
