Scorers: Spennymoor: Moore, Rae.  SRCA: Shaw

After a late pitch inspection at the Brewery Field the game was declared on at the request of both managers.

Games are won and lost at all levels of football by inexplicable lapses by officials and today's match was no exception.

Spennymoor started the game with the advantage of the slope and made the most of it, applying the early pressure but RCA stuck to their guns and defended really well.

RCA Grangetown Florists and Herrington put on a tremendous display of end to end football in this league encounter and it was not untill the 90th min that the result was decided.

Scorers: Penrith: Jardine, og:   SRCA: Dixon

I am not sure what it is about playing Penrith at the new Stadium at Frenchfields Park, but we never seem able to get a team out. Last season 11 turned up when we were doing well this season 12 turned up, one of whom was the injured goalkeeper Craig Shields who was forced to play due to the lack of another recognised keeper.

There were obviously a number of first team players missing but the management team were still able to put out a strong looking team.

Sunderland Sunday League

RCA Grangetown Florists just edged this game 1-0 against Silksworth Paragon, with both sides understrength.

Paragon started the brighter with Hopps, Charlton and Howell causing problems with their direct running approach, but as the first half wore on RCA Florists began to come more into it, although the only real chance of the half fell to RCA Florists Martin Metcalfe and he sliced horribly wide, to leave a ht score of 0-0.

Total Sport Challenge Trophy

RCA Grangetown Florists saw off the challenge from Myers to progress smoothly into the Semi-finals of the Total Sport Challenge Trophy with a 2-0 victory.

In near perfect conditions RCA Florists produced a commanding performance against a slightly understrength Myers, and but for an outstanding display from Myers keeper Ryan Graham would have had this match won well before the 88th minute second goal went in.

The Bedlington perspective

Goal Scorers: Terriers: Doninger, Carr   SRCA: Clarke (2), Home-Jackson.

Ross Preston failed a late fitness test and his position in central defence was taken by Paul Wardle. Monson replaced Guerin-Lokonga up front and there was the welcoming sight of Gary Shaw taking his place on the left side of midfield at the expense of Dixon.
