Hinderwell 2 Brotton WMC 3

Hinderwell had to field a weakened team due to a wedding in their ranks and were punished at home by a workman like performance by Brotton. Although goals by Steven Bashley, Darren Ward and Keith Soloman for Brotton, the score until the 70th minute did not reflect the Hinderwell performance. Steve French who had been a thorn in Brotton's defence scored both Hinderwell's goals in the last 20 minutes leaving Brotton to desperately hold on to their lead in the closing stages.

Anchor 1 Whitby Fishermans 3

Two long range shots from the attack of Whitby Fishermans gave the Anchor keeper no chance during the first half showing a score of 2-0 to the away side.

The penalty was converted allowing the Anchor a consolation goal.

Annandale 0 Highland Laddie 2

This was a very closely fought game between two very young sides. Early possession from Annandale broken down Highland Laddie defence but chances were wasted on a number of occasions. Highland Laddie slowly pulled themselves back into the game and eventually went ahead in the37th minute when Burns headed the opening goal at the near post.

The second half began with each side contesting evenly. Lewis and Fairbank then began to push forward and Annandale began to control the game. However, the Highland Laddie defence stood firm with Nesbitt in particular preventing Annandale's forwards from any chance to equalise. Combeleck made it 2-0 to Laddie when he hit a 20-yard volley into the net.

Goldsborough 0 Great Ayton 1

The first half opened with two very evenly matched teams. Carl Swales shone in midfield for Goldsborough and Neil Gorthorpe stood out holding the Great Ayton defence solid. In the 80th minute Great Ayton set up an attack down the right with Ross Milburn receiving the ball from a penetrating Chris Ripley pass. Ross Milburn crossed the ball and 17-year-old Peter Snaith finished the move with a fine header into the top corner of the net.

Loftus Ath 2 Boosbeck 0

This was a good performance by Loftus winning for the first time this season. In the seventh minute a James Wilson shot from outside the penalty area was deflected to Chris Wilson who found the net from close range. An exciting game was set up with both teams playing skilful and competitive football. The score remained the same at half time mainly due to the Boosbeck keeper. The second continued with both teams fighting hard to keep possession. In the 65th minute Loftus extended their lead when Wilson broke through the Boosbeck defence, he was brought down by the keeper and Devereux scored from the resultant penalty to make the final score 2-0.

Staithes 3 Redcar Mackinlay Park 0

Staithes won the game in the first half scoring in the 20th, 27th and 40th minutes. A penalty to Staithes opened the scoring followed by two similar goals starting on the left-hand side and finishing with two strikes from outside the area. Redcar clawed themselves back in the second half, but were unable to break down the solid defence in Staithes.

Lealholm 0 Lingdale United 3

In the first half Lealholm dominated the game largely due to star man Steve Hill in the centre of midfield. The ball hit the woodwork three times and Lealholm failed to convert their chances throughout the first period. Lingdale came out in the second half as a different side. Identifying from Steve Hill being injured and not taking the field they demonstrated to Lealholm how to take chances and scored three goals from four attempts.
