Black Horse 4 v 3 North Skelton: With just one game to go, the Black Horse finally broke their duck picking up their first league win of the season against North Skelton.

Ged Moran started them on the comeback trail when he pulled a goal back early in the second period and it was Mark Dixon who brought them level. Ten minutes from time it was all smiles for the Black Horse when Kirk Harrison slotted the ball home for what proved to be the winner.

Coulby Newham 3 v 0 Stokesley 0

In the event, the only other goal of the game came from Martin McManus who volleyed home Coulby's third.

Fifteen minutes from time, Murray put any hopes that Bulls might have had of taking a point from the game when he broke through to score his second of the game.

M'brough Post Office 5 v 1 Redcar CO

It was a mixed week for Coke Ovens with two 5-1 defeats against Ennis Square and the Post Office sandwiching a 4-1 win over South Bank United.

Five minutes from half time, Post Office keeper Alan Wigglesworth denied Coke Ovens from the penalty spot by diving to his right to put the ball on to the post.

Wayne Murphy increased the Post Office lead early in the second half and with 15 minutes to go, Scott Heslop completed the scoring following good work from Ian Pinchbeck.

Stockton Elementis 2 v 9 B&H Kings Head FC

Elementis paid the penalty for starting the game shorthanded and in no time at all they were two goals down.

Even with a full comlement, things did not get much better with the King's Head taking a 5-0 lead by the interval.

The visitors scored a sixth before Elementis discovered their scoring boots when Mark Allinson set up Steve Darbyshire and they also scored a second thanks to a well struck half volley from John Angus.

The Guisborough side now only need a point from their remaining fixture to secure the runners up spot.

The Grenadier however, had other ideas and three goals in quick succession saw them take the lead before half time.

Dean Melville brought the Village back on level terms with second half just minutes old but it was two goals from Geoff Belt that effectively settled the outcome of the game.

Shortly before the full time whistle, Gareth Evans made it 6-3 to set the Village up for their Cliff Wells Cup Final in midweek.
