A Hoggarth and Sons Eskvale and Cleveland League
The Grangetown and Boosbeck match, switched to Grangetown as the Boosbeck pitch was under water, finished 1-1.
Grangetown had most of the early pressure and Boosbeck goalkeeper Paul Chisman had to be alert to dive at Karl Wall's feet in the early exchanges. It was 20 minutes before Boosbeck worried Moore in the home goal but he proved equal to the challenge as he saved at Shane Breckon's feet. Boosbeck brokeaway through Breckon and while Moore dealt with his shot, the rebound fell to Steve Smith who made no mistake when he slotted the ball home from ten yards.
With time running out Simon Millington struck the equaliser when his low shot from 30 yards went through a crowd of players and beat Chisman just inside a post.
The share of the points was a just outcome in difficult in playing conditions as neither side deserved to lose.
Goldsborough had the majority of possession in their match at Lealholm but the game finished tied at 3-3.
Lealholm took the lead when a free kick was played out to Darren Harland and he fired home. Phil Brown then put Lealholm two in front but Goldsborough responded immediately as Neill Duell headed home from a corner. Just on half time Goldsborough equalised as the home side appealed for offside Staurt Marsey raced through to score his sixteenth league goal of the season. Lealholm gave debuts to veteran Andy Crooks, transferred from Loftus Athletic and Ben Platt, returning from college. Lealholm again took the lead when Karl Fletcher when scored the best goal of the game. However with ten minutes remaining the home defence was carved open and Russell Ingram notched the equaliser.
Great Ayton were always in control of their 5-3 win at home to Loftus YC. Colin Murray and Richard Hore both scored twice. Hore now having 17 league goals to his credit. Jamie Scott, with his first league goal of the season, getting the other. Loftus's scorers were Mark Oakley, Graham Brewer and David Howse whose goal also takes him to 17 for the season.
Home side Highland Laddie edged to a 3-2 win over Huntsman. Laddie had most of the first half play but it was Huntsman who took the lead on the half hour when Lee Downing fired home.
Huntsman increased their lead on the hour mark when Shaun Robinson netted from the penalty spot.
Laddie lifted their game and pulled a goal back from Mark Paisley who latched onto a header from Paul Neesham who equalised when he fired home from the edge of the penalty area.
With five minutes remaining Neesham set Richie Mclean away and he scored to give the Laddie all three points and continue their unbeaten run which extends back to mid December.
Both Lingdale United and Grosmont played excellent football on a heavy pitch with a 2-2 draw being a fair result. Lingdale took the lead inside five minutes when Craig Dobson forced home a corner kick and the same player repeated the move on ten minutes as Lingdale took control and held the lead until half time.
Grosmont came back into the game on the hour when John Ward chipped the ball over the defence and past the home goalkeeper. A minute later Grosmont were level when Victor Hicks fired home from close range.
Two first-half goals from 16-year-old Matthew Griffin set Loftus Athletic on the way to a 4-0 victory over Anchor. John Barnard and Jamie Melbourne, recently transferred from Loftus YC, scored in the second half as Loftus controlled the game.
Both the Hinderwell against Redcar Mackinley Park match and the North Riding Cup semi final game between Staithes and Dormans were postponed due to waterlogged pitches
