East End WMC 4, Greyhound 0: The Clubmen inflicted a first league defeat of the season on the runaway leaders with this victory.

East End were really up for the game and led 1-0 at the interval never allowing their opponents to settle at any stage. The second half saw them add another three without reply. Scorers were Mark Maddison with another penalty, Darren Winter, Paul Horsley and sub Aaron Radstock.

Hole in the Wall 1, DGSOB 5

In an even first half Old Boys opened the scoring after ten minutes with a counter attack which saw Wall defence exposed for pace and Peter Gray scored form the edge of the box. Wall then lost keeper Paul De St Croix with a knee injury to be replaced by forward David Abdale who despite the eventual scoreline, did very well in the circumstances. Wall levelled when Mario Scott converted, but in a three-minute spell shortly after the interval Old Boys scored three times through Gray and two form Man of the Match Nattress on his debut to take a decisive lead. Wall were unable to raise their game from this point on and it was no surprise when Old Boys added a fourth through sub John Shields to wrap up the points.

Auckland Charity Cup, fifth round

Shildon Railway 2, Grey Horse 1

Railway were soon in the ascendancy and dominated the first 20 minutes but the Horse defence held firm and they almost took a shock lead when Andrew Wetherall was denied by the post. Shildon led after 30 minutes with a penalty, a lead which they held until half-time. Horse took the game to their hosts after the interval and deservedly levelled when Darren Tate wrong-footed his marker and found the top corner with an excellent strike. The game turned into an ill tempered affair at this point and only bad luck and the woodwork prevented Horse from taking a deserved lead. With four minutes left Railway were awarded a hotly disputed penalty which even mystified the Railway players as they had retreated expecting a free kick to be awarded to their opponents. The kick was duly despatched leaving Grey Horse and many of the spectators with the distinct opinion that they had been cruelly robbed.
