AFTER some great cup wins in recent weeks, Blackhall Mill finally opened their winning account in the First Division when they crashed Lintz Cricket Club for six.

Struggling near the foot of the table, Alan Rennison was in devastating form with four goals as Blackhall Mill recorded their first three-pointer with a 6-2 home win.

Lanchester Social dropped their first points in Division Two, but maintained their proud unbeaten record when they shared eight goals with Oxhill.

After four successive wins, a couple of Lee McVittie goals and efforts from Carl Joyce and Derek Parkin were only enough to salvage a point.

David Collins and Michael Hindmarsh both struck hat-tricks as Consett Top Club crushed hapless Burnhope 11-1.

Peacock Inn managed a 3-1 win at home against Black Horse. Goals from Stephen Doolan, Martin Pritchard and Adam Inglestone did the trick with Chris Storey replying.

A Michael Brough double and Craig Jolley goal took Dipton Bird Inn to the top of Division Three and a 3-2 win at Hat & Feather who scored through James Heron and Duncan Pearce.

Kevin Milburn hit four goals in a bad tempered game that saw Board Inn win 5-2 at the Freemasons. Each side had two players sent off and they meet again soon in the semi-final of the Iveson Bowl. Scott Sommerville scored twice along with Lee Peacock and Lee Abbott as Prince of Wales edged by the odd goal in seven at home to Swalwell Poacher.

Stephen McGough and Stephen Watchman both bagged hat-tricks in the Jack Grigg Memorial Trophy as Annfield Plain CC beat neighbours the Plainsman 8-0.
