From the horses mouth - A Northern League roundup<br />
Last week saw the launch of our new home shirt with the<br />
game receipts going to charity shirt sponsor MNDA. Unfortunately<br />
Newton Aycliffe came and spoilt the party by leaving<br />
with a 3-0 win. 3 first half goals from Ben Wood (28), Tom<br />
Gavin (30) & Vincent Gash (41) ended the game as a contest<br />
by half time. The Colliers then faced a tough trip to Shildon on<br />
Saturday and we gained a very good point with a 1-1 draw in<br />
front on 347 fans. Zak Atkinson gave the Colliers the lead in<br />
the 24th minute but a Nathan Steel penalty in the 60th minute<br />
pulled then home side level and that’s how it ultimately ended.<br />
Tonight’s visitors <strong>Hebburn</strong> <strong>Town</strong> currently sit 5th in the table in their first season back in<br />
division one had a brilliant 3-1 away win to league leaders Consett on Saturday. Ben<br />
Dibb-Fuller gave <strong>Hebburn</strong> the lead in the 33rd minute but Calvin Smith struck for the<br />
home side in the 59th minute to make it 1-1. That only lasted 4 minutes before former<br />
Newcastle United reserve, Michael Richardson, put the South Tyneside club back into<br />
the lead. 5 minutes from time Jack Robson scored to seal the points in front of a bumper<br />
5<strong>19</strong> crowd.<br />
Our next guests at Woodhorn Lane, Dunston UTS, scored the only goal in a 1-0 win<br />
over Stockton <strong>Town</strong> at the UTS Stadium. Jake Stafford proving the difference in the<br />
24th minute.<br />
West Auckland <strong>Town</strong> edged a 7 goal thriller at home to Whickham <strong>Town</strong>. Adam Burnicle<br />
scored in the 22nd minute shortly followed by Adam Mitchell in the 26th minute<br />
which must have had the home fans thinking an easy afternoon was in store. But a Jamie<br />
Cobain own goal in the 36th minute brought the game back to life. The sides then<br />
continued to swap goals with Amar Purewal (44), Stephen Little (47), Adam Burnicle<br />
again (49) before Andrew Bulford ended the scoring in the 62nd minute with West Auckland<br />
taking the win 4-3.<br />
Penrith continue to struggle and had very little joy at Whitley Bay this past Saturday.<br />
The Bay winning 4-0 in front of a crowd of 413. A Gavin Caines penalty in the 11th minute<br />
was followed by former Collier Luke Salmon scoring in the 26th minute. The Cumbrians<br />
must have been happy to have ended the scoring there but 2 late strikes, in the<br />
85th and 88th minute, by Andrei Ardelean ended any hope of a late comeback.<br />
Paul Brayson bagged a brace away to Newton Aycliffe to give Newcastle Benfield a 2-1<br />
away win. Vincent Gash scoring in the 67th minute for the home side.<br />
In division 2 Heaton Stannington went down to 10 men in the <strong>20th</strong> minute at home to<br />
Crook <strong>Town</strong> when Lewis Burns saw red but that didn’t stop the home side taking all 3<br />
points. Crook took the lead in the 36th minute through Liam Jarvie but that just spurred<br />
the home side into life and they were level when Lee Middleton scored in the 40th minute.<br />
Heaton could have took the lead just before half time but Connor Campbell<br />
missed a 44th minute penalty. Former Paris Saint Germain youth player Thibault<br />
Charmley gave the home side the lead in the 70th minute. Andrew Robertson made it 3-<br />
1 in the 75th minute before Crook grabbed a consolation goal in the 88th minute<br />
through Philip Caley.<br />
