New Marske proudly sit at the top of the table following a 4-0 rout of Windscale.

It took the Seasiders just 12 minutes to open the scoring through Alex Anderson, and eight minutes later Christian Kamara converted a free-kick.

There was no respite for the Cumbrians and New Marske became the leading scorers with a brace of goals from Sam Garvie.

Hartlepool put five goals past Cleator Moor Celtic who started in pole position. It took Pools until the 43rd minute for Shaun Ross to break the deadlock but in the last 20 minutes it was one-way traffic.

Ross completed his hat-trick with Simon Duffield and Rob Ferguson adding to the woes of Celtic.

Boldon CA are up to second and they comfortably defeated East Durham United 3-0. A first-half effort by Michael Meek was added to by David Hopper and Lee O'Neil.

Annfield Plain defeated Cleadon SC 3-1. Kelvin Armstrong, Shaun Kilkenny and Colin Snailham were on target with Michael Armstrong claiming a consolation for the South Tynesiders.

Willington worked hard for a 3-2 result over Guisborough Black Swan. Danny Thorns bagged a first-half brace and Andrew Howard netted before the Black Swan hit back with goals from David Campbell and Derek Bradley.

Wolviston twice trailed but took a point from Ryhope CW at Metcalfe Park. An early Stephen Bagley strike was cancelled out by Chris Dunwell but the Wearsiders went 3-1 ahead with two goals from Peter Benson.

Dunwell reduced the arrears with a penalty before youngster Andrew Blackburn impressed, scoring the equaliser. Teesside Athletic scored in the first and last minutes at Easington Colliery.

Andy Porritt was the first to net but the Colliers looked to have taken the points with goals from Peter Crawford and Paul Dougherty.

James Smuk though came up with the equaliser. After leading through Shaun Edwards and John Murray, Harton and Westoe were pegged back at Silksworth Community for whom Mark McGinley and Ross Taylor scored second-half goals.

Coxhoe Athletic led Ashbrooke Belford House with only 13 minutes remaining but went down 3-2. Mark Green and Paul Fenwick were on the mark after Michael Connor had given the Wearsiders the early lead.

Michael Owens levelled and Stephen Clifford put Coxhoe in front but conceding two late goals means they have yet to win. Carl McGrady, Kevin Law and Graham Lilley were Jarrow's marksmen at Whitehaven who replied through Craig Armstrong (2) and Chris Goss.
