Division One - Nunthorpe Ath 3 v 1 Fishburn Park: Nunthorpe Athletic stay top of the league, but only courtesy of a plus one goal difference.
They lead Grangetown but had to come from behind after Fishburn Park took a 22nd minute lead when a ricochet in the Nunthorpe box found Danny Brown who put the visitors ahead. Nunthorpe pushed forward but Peter Boldison and Anthony Roberts were thwarted by Fishburn keeper Sam Dobbs who had an outstanding game. In the second half Nunthorpe again pushed forward, looking for all three points. Ten minutes into the second half the hosts drew level when Boldison scored at the back post to settle his side's nerves and in the 70th minute Dominic Ingram powered home a header to give Nunthorpe a 2-1 lead. They increased this due to a second from Boldison, his 20th of the season to secure the points in the tight championship race which should hot up next week when they travel to Acklam Steelworks.
Richmond Town 2 v 1 New Marske SC
New Marske SC shocked the home side by taking the lead when Gary Bickerstaff put Jimmy Allen through and Allen kept his nerve to lob the advancing keeper.

In the second half the match swung end to end but on the hour Adam Emson capitalised on a New Marske mistake and shot home his 11th of the season. Richard Thompson crashed a shot against the crossbar in the closing stages.

Wolviston Res 1 v 4 Grangetown BC
Once again Wolviston had to give up home advantage, as their pitch was not available, their match was switched to Grangetown who were fighting to retain the Championship Trophy from their main rivals Nunthorpe Athletic.

And two minutes later Arriva took the lead when Neil Hay was on target. The hosts pushed for an equaliser but Hay struck twice more to secure his hat-trick and the points.
Darlington CB 2 v 4 Teesside Link

R T Raine Trophy semi-finals
Dormans FC 1 v 4 Carlin How 4 (aet)
A battle at Dormans where the home side were pressed back by first division side Carlin How, who should have take an early lead through Jason Draper and Steve Starsmore, but second division Dormans also could have score with Sam Ebwea causing problem for the visitors with his pace, but at the halfway break the score remained at 0-0. Ten minutes into the second half Carlin How got the break through they probably deserved when Steve Starsmore scored, this seemed to gee the Dormans up and they pressed forward, but left themselves open at the back to the quick break, but in the 75th minute Dean Farley broke clear and pulled it back to 1-1. The remaining fifteen minutes saw both side press for the winner but it remained at 1-1 and the match went into extra time. Ten minutes into the first period of the extra time Starsmore with his second of the game and 11th of the season gave the visitors a 2-1 lead, five minutes into the second period of the extra time Jason Draper with his 20th of the season made it 3-1 before Martin Say with his 6th of the season secured a place in the final for Carlin How.
