Longhorn Hardware Darlington and District League, Kingfisher Finance Trophy final, East End WMC 4, The Albion 3 (aet): A cracking match in which both teams gave their all with the result in doubt up to the final whistle.

Albion struck after only two minutes when keeper Scott Wood failed to hold a free kick and Kevin Baines rifled home the rebound. East End gradually got on top and it was no surprise when Aaron Radstock broke through and calmly lifted the ball over the keeper to level matters.

Mark Maddison put the club men ahead with a superb strike, but back came Albion to level through Baines.

Gary Mitchell then added to his impressive tally when he found himself in oceans of space and he side-footed past the advancing keeper to put Albion ahead for a second time.

The game was taken into extra time when an Albion player handled on the line and Mark Maddison dispatched the penalty.

Albion, despite being reduced to ten men, continued to enjoy an equal share of possession, but with a penaly shoot-out looking inevitable a rash challenge culminated in the award of a second penalty to East End in the final minute of extra time. Maddison duly completed his hat-trick to give his side victory.
