Saturday sees us heading to @SeatonCarewFC for a first-ever visit This will be a local derby against @FC_Hartlepool in what should be a great game Looking forward to my game, but where is everyone else off to this weekend?

Goals galore at @NorthShieldsFC tonight - 6-1 felt harsh on @penrith_afc who were good in the first half but 3 goals in 5 minutes took the game away from them. Final goal scored by Jordan Lashley who had an excellent second half #northshields #penrith #nonleague #northernleague

A fantastic player who twice won the Ballon d'Or and was a legend at both clubs The script could hardly have been written any better had it been planned What a send-off for King Kev 🖤🤍❤️

Hartlepool United are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong Pools supporter Jordan Olley, aged 34. Jordan, who was from Lincoln, had supported Pools since childhood, following in the footsteps of his parents and his Grandad Eddie. Three years ago, during Jordan’s battle with Stage IV bowel cancer, the club helped arrange for him to visit the Pools changing room and meet the players. One of Jordan’s biggest smiles came when the squad signed a get-well card for him following his diagnosis — something he and his family never forgot. Just one month ago, Jordan was told his cancer was terminal. Despite his health and mobility declining, his love for Pools never wavered. Only two weeks ago, he bought a camper van with plans to wrap it in Pools colours, travel from Lincoln to watch the team and sleep in the van afterwards. Even after a short getaway to Whitby, Jordan and his family made sure they were back in time to attend a pre-season fixture at Victoria Park. Jordan put up an incredible fight and remained a proud Pools supporter until the very end. Our thoughts are with Jordan’s wife, family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Jordan.

Matchday tomorrow when we welcome @Westend_FC to Derwent Park. Welcome to the @WearsideLeague ⚽️👍 #UTP @NonLeagueCrowd @NEFootballHub @GRFootball #nonleague

Happy Birthday to the Clubs Vice President Alan Wilkie. We want to take this opportunity to Thank You for everything you do for the club, the ideas followed by the actions and the constant support to keep the club moving forward, we wouldn’t be where we are today without it

DIVISION ONE//ROUND UP A review of the three Division One fixtures from last night. Here we go! 👇 @crooktown_afc v @MarskeUnitedFC 📊RESULT// Crook Town 0-1 Marske United The game struggled to get going as both sides couldn’t build an early momentum. The visitors first effort came just after the half hour but Danny Boyle’s strike was wide of the home upright. Seasiders stopper Mike Algie reacted well to deny Glen Hargrave in the final moments of the half but the sides went into the break at 0-0. The visitors’ Charlie Watt had the second half’s first opportunity but his shot was blocked. But it was Watt that eventually found the breakthrough. He pounced on an error from the hosts to stride forward and crash home on 75 minutes. The hosts pushed for a way back but the closest they came was a Fin Rose effort that Algie parried away. Marske’s Finn McKitterick was sent off on 90 minutes but the visitors took the points. Crook sit in 15th place after their first home league loss of the season - and their first league blank in front of goal. The Seasiders won for the first time this season. That win coming on their first league awayday of the campaign. They are in 10th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted the hosts to take the points with a 2-1 win. But Marske ripped up the form guide as their defensive solidity brought them the points. Next @Official_ECAFC v @nbsfc2018 📊RESULT// Easington Colliery 4-1 Newcastle Blue Star Both sides started in positive fashion, Aiden Stanton tested visiting stopper Phil Mills at his near post. Then Jakub Zych with a potshot, the first early effort in anger from Blue Star. Zych did give the visitors the lead on 24 minutes as he went round home keeper James Hopkinson to slot home. His second goal of the season. The hosts levelled matters five minutes into the second half, Ryan Taylor powering home a header from a corner, 1-1. Brad Hird gave the Colliers their first lead of the evening with a poacher's effort on 67 minutes. The hosts rubber stamped the points when Denny Tapping crashed one into top bins n 88 minutes, before Liam Adamson added further shine when he grabbed his fourth goal of the campaign to make it 4-1 with the clock showing 90+1. Easington remained unbeaten as they moved up to 3rd place after making it 2/2 at home in league action. Blue Star are still winless after defeat in their first away game of the season. Seven goals, all have given them the lead, no wins. Becoming increasingly curse-like. 🔮PREDICTION// We had the Colliers down to win 2–1, but the hosts add two unnecessary goals late on to move our ‘Bang On’ to just a well done. Still, a decent call from us though eh? Next @WhickhamFC v @redcartownfc 📊RESULT// Whickham 0-5 Redcar Town Mitch Parkinson put the visitors ahead early doors as he planted home a header from a Joe Taylor corner with just six minutes played. Their lead was doubled on 24 minutes as Harry Thompson volleyed home his first for the club, 2-0. A dominant first half performance from the visitors yielded further rewards as Josh Duffield slotted home from close range just after the half hour. Parkinson nearly repeated his early goal in the first half as he hit the crossbar shortly into the second period. Town’s fourth was far away though, and just five minutes after coming on Kayden Robinson-Coley rounded the keeper to slide home on 58 minutes. Joe Taylor put a substantial cherry on top as he pinged home an audacious fifth from inside his own half with the home keeper stranded. The visitors had a couple of chances to add to the scoreline and the hosts a presentable chance for a consolation but… Five goals. Five stars. Three points. Whickham’s unbeaten start to the season ended abruptly on a night to forget for the Lang Jacks. They sit in 7th place. Redcar Town moved up to 2nd as they recorded a third league win on their travels four games. Unbeaten and buoyant. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted a 1-1 draw in this one. Yeah Town went to Town and hit five against a side that had only conceded two in their previous three games. Very wrong from us, we are ok about it though.

DIVISION TWO//ROUND UP A review of the six Division Two games played last night. Here we go! 👇 @AlnwickTownAFC v @Towlawtown 📊RESULT// Alnwick Town 0-0 Tow Law Town A steady start from both, set pieces at either ends but no clear cut chances in the opening forays. A competitive first 45 ends goalless. The hosts started the second half brightly. Antonio Agostinho denied by a fine stop from Dan Staples before a spot of penalty box pinball ended with Henry Rawlinson blazing over the visitors bar. Rawlinson then tested Staples from range but the Lawyers keeper produced a superb stop to keep the scoreline blank. Staples was then called upon to thwart ‘Wick again, Kyle Cockburn the man repelled. The Lawyers’ Harvey Walsh took aim but his well struck effort came back off the frame of the ‘Wick goal as the game entered the final ten. A hard fought point apiece. Alnwick are still waiting for their first home league win but this is a good first point of the season at St James. That point sees them sit in 11th place after the first four games. Tow Law remained unbeaten as the draw saw their 100% start to the campaign come to an end. They are in 3rd place in the embryonic Division Two table. 🔮PREDICTION// We had the Lawyers to edge this one by the odd goal in five. So obviously a goalless draw was the outcome. Next @Synthonia v @jarrow_fc 📊RESULT// Billingham Synthonia 1-1 Jarrow The visitors took the lead on nine minutes. Stephen Siyanbola powered home a header from a Josh Leonard corner. Number five of the season for the big striker. The half continued with effort aplenty and both sides having a steady stream of nearly moments as the half grew increasingly bitty. Jarra one up at the break. The second period followed in much the same pattern with the visitors looking more likely to add to the scoreline, but they couldn’t find that crucial second. The next goal came from the hosts as Charlie Raby brought the hosts back square in 73 minutes, just five minutes after coming off the bench. And that was how it ended. Synthonia are unbeaten at home, a first league draw at the MAP sees them into 12th place. Jarrow are still unbeaten as they collected a second away draw of the season. They are in 5th place after four games. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted that Jarra  would win this one 3-1. And on another night who knows. But on this one the resilient Synners scuppered us as Raby proved there is life in the old legs yet. Next @DarloTownFC v @AFCNewbiggin 📊RESULT// Darlington Town 6-1 AFC Newbiggin Town started on the front foot with Nathan Stephenson testing visiting keeper Ollie Huddleston early on with the Biggin No1 saving well. Stephenson did open the scoring on eight minutes as he lashed home from the resulting Max Craggs corner. Jim Wilson almost doubled the host lead but his header was the wrong side of the upright. Biggin responded and Tyler Smith in the home net was forced into a smart stop to deny Matty Nelson. Stephenson claimed his second on 20 minutes with a precise finish from a right wing centre. Then, just four minutes later, it was three. With the visitors temporarily down to ten with Kyle Downey in the sin-bin, James Beauchamp lashed home from another right wing delivery from Joel White. It was four on 40 minutes. Stephenson completed his hat trick as he drilled home from inside the centre circle to wrap up a dominant first half from the hosts. Stephenson claimed his fourth just three minutes into the second half, a curled effort that found the bottom corner, 5-0. Biggin pulled one back as Matty Nelson slotted his fourth goal of the season to make it 5-1 on 50 minutes. It was only fitting that the last word went to Stephenson though as he put the proverbially cherry on the top of a wonderful individual performance as he netted his fifth on 85 minutes to make it 6-1. Darlo’s half dozen gave them their second league win on home turf, and saw them up to 8th place in the table. Newbiggin’s 100% start to the season came to an abrupt end. They had conceded just two goals from their previous three games. They are in 4th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We had Biggin edging a 2-1 win. And we were very, very wide of the mark. We did mention in our prediction waffle that we felt Darlo are a good side, but needed to be less wasteful in front of goal…. Well, mission complete tonight. Glad we could help! Both these sides will be around the top six at the business end of the season. Next @Prudhoeycfc v @GrangetownBC 📊RESULT// Prudhoe YC Seniors 0-2 Grangetown Boys Club The hosts started brightly with Zach Fisher at the centre of it for the Seniors. But it was the visitors that grabbed the opener as Jake Williams-Muthana (hence forth known as JWM) collected a through ball before clotting home on 22 minutes. JWM nearly added a second on the strike of halftime but his stanchion-bound effort was well saved by Tom White in the home goal. The hosts were reduced to ten men on 50 minutes, Ben Brougham seeing red for scything down Owen Hayton. It was Hayton himself that exploited Boysie’s man advantage as he tucked the visitors second away following a corner on 58 minutes. JWM dragged a shot wide as Boysie looked to add to their tally late on but it finished 2-0. Seniors remain pointless and goalless after a third home defeat already this season. Only saved from the foot of the table by a Durham United side who leak more goals. Grangetown secured their first victory of the season - and first clean sheet - the three points see them into 16th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We had this one down as a nervy 1-1 but Boysie brought the points home with a textbook away performance - stay solid and nick one or two. Job done. Next @RACAFC1970 v @NewcastleUniAFC 📊RESULT// Ryton & Crawcrook Albion 1-2 Newcastle University The Uni opened the scoring on 13 minutes, James Cleugh with his second goal of the season to make it 1-0. The hosts were quickly back on level terms, Aaron Costello netting his first since returning to the club with a crisp strike on 18 minutes. 1-1 at the half. The visitors were back ahead on 66 minutes as Joel Burgess netted. Albion responded with a raft of substitutions but for all their endeavour couldn’t find a way back. Ryton have lost both home league games as they remain winless after their three opening games. They sit third bottom in 18th. The Uni are in 10th place after they claimed their first away win of the season - indeed their first points on the road. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted that the host would take a 2-0 win but Ryton’s season continues to stutter. The Jekyll & Hyde students will be happy with the win, if they don’t know what they are gonna do then how the hell are we supposed to! Next @SeatonCarewFC v @UnitedDurham 📊RESULT// Seaton Carew 5-0 Durham United The hosts were ahead on 20 minutes as Ash Lavan claimed his first of the season. Just three minutes later it was two, Robbie Lithgo continuing his goal scoring form as his fourth of the campaign made it 2-0. The hosts two to the good at the half. The second half began more evenly with both sides having opportunities to add to the scoreline. But it was Seaton who did claim the next goal. Matty Bradley netted for the second game running as he slotted on 64 minutes. United rallied and had a couple of shots well saved by Seaton stopper Matty Wilkinson but any hope of the great escape was quashed when Craig Linsel headed home on 75 minutes for 4-0. And three minutes from time it was five. Linsel claiming his second of the evening to seal a comprehensive victory for the hosts. Seaton climbed into 9th place on the back of their first ever home NL victory. Two league clean sheets for Matty Wilkinson. United are rooted to the foot of the table after defeat in their first away game of the season. No points from four games - and 21 goals conceded. Tough times for the students. 🔮PREDICTION// We called a Seaton win but they kinda blasted our 2–1 prediction out of the water with a five goal haul against a porous visiting side Likes, reposts & comments are very much appreciated.

Game's gone. Another week, another crime against humanity committed. Looks like Strawberry Phill's gonna have some company in the club dungeon very soon.

DIVISION TWO//ROUND UP A review of the four Division Two games played last night. Here we go! 👇 @CABoldon v @StokesleySCFC 📊RESULT// Boldon CA 1-0 Stokesley SC The first effort in anger came from the visitors as Liam Williams took aim but his effort flew high over the frame of the Boldon goal. The hosts’ first presentable chance saw visiting keeper Tom Beeforth denied Mark Robinson. Boldon were ahead on 32 minutes, and in some style, as Henry Harvey crashed home a volley from distance to put the hosts one up. Saturday’s scorer Callum Mallia saw a shot blocked late in the half as Stowlsa looked for a leveller. 1-0 to Boldon at the break. Liam Thear looked to extend his scoring run to three games but his effort back off the post early in the second half. Alfa Djalo and Harry Knowles both had presentable chances to extend Boldon’s lead but to no avail. The visitors had a good chance to level but Stu Browne's rocket of a half volley flew just wide. Stokesley were then awarded a penalty in added time but Dan Gladstone was the home hero as he saved Carl Williams’ spotkick to ensure the points stayed in South Tyneside. Boldon made it 4/4 as they headed to the top of the table. On another night Stokesley could have been heading back down the A19 with a deserved point but a third away loss sees them in 13th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We had the hosts winning this 3‑1 so not that close but a home win nonetheless against a battling Stowsla. Next @CestrianTweet v @SunderlandRCA 📊RESULT// Chester le Street Town 2-1 Sunderland RCA The visitors had the first effort in anger, but James McGeorge dragged his early shot wide. And then McGeorge tested the palms of Max Campbell in the home net as RCA started brightly. Kyle Fryatt was next to test the reflexes of Campbell as the keeper was the equal of the strike. Then shortly after Andre Bennett struck the upright with a long range free kick as the visitors continued to be on top. RCA, again, almost took the lead as Lewis Lukeman drilled narrowly wide but the hosts did take the lead five minutes before the break, McGeorge with a powerful header, deserved 1-0. The hosts were back level on 61 minutes as Scott Robson netted his third of the season to make it 1-1. Five minutes later the hosts were ahead with Robson claiming his second of the night to make it 2-1. RCA felt there was a clear foul on keeper Lewis Charlton but despite their protestations the referee was unmoved. With the temperature raised RCA were reduced to ten men on 72 minutes as Brad Forster picked up his second yellow. And it finished 2-1 to the hosts. The Cestrians secured their first home win of the season as back to back victories took them up to 6th place. RCA are in 14th place as they lose for the first time on their league travels. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted that the Cestrians would win this one 2-1. So just a goal away. But RCA were very good in the first half and could, and maybe should, have given the hosts a bigger mountain to climb. Next @FC_Hartlepool v @BillinghamTown 📊RESULT// FC Hartlepool 0-2 Billingham Town The visitors took the lead on seven minutes. Jake Toase repeated his weekend goal as he nodded home a deep corner. The hosts responded as Mikey McGee had a sight of goal but the striker went wide. And then Jordan Fielding tamely prodded an effort straight at the home stopper Jack Halton after a lofted freekick. FC were denied an equaliser after a smart save from Theo Webster from a Nathan Bayes effort - the 23 league goal striker thwarted as he awaits his first goal of the new campaign. Tom Gavin was the next to be denied by Webster as he tipped onto the crossbar as the hosts enjoyed their best spell. Webster was called upon again just after the hour to save a header from sub Callum Young. As the hosts pushed Billingham exploited the space and after possession was won Dan Dryden strode forward to slot home for 2-0 with 76 minutes on the clock. Lewis Green crashed a free kick against the crossbar in the dying moments but the game dwindled away after a late Brennan Ball header drifted wide of the upright in added time. FC Hartlepool winless start to the campaign continues with a second home loss. They sit in 16th place. Billingham Town made it 4/4 as their 100% start to the season rolled on as they secured their second away victory. They are in 2nd place. 🔮PREDICTION// We can be happy with our prediction as we called a 2-0 away win, so just a pesky goal away for a perfect call. If Green’s free kick was three inches lower we’d have been dancing in the streets. Maybe. Next @SeahamRedStar v @ParkViewAFC 📊RESULT// Seaham Red Star 1-1 Park View Park View started well with the greater share of the ball but the game's first presentable chance fell to the visitors. But Kai Charlton’s header went wide of the post. Goalless at the break. The breakthrough came on 53 minutes as Charlie Loveday continued his impressive start to the season as he volleyed the hosts ahead. Loveday also grabbed a second but his shot went the wrong side of the upright as the game entered the last twenty. Ben Gallagher then saw his free kick palmed away by Star stopper Shaun Newbrook. When it looked like the hosts would claim the points they probably deserved, Seaham punished the PV for not getting the second. Alfie Fawcett, an 84th minute substitute, netted a 90+3 minute leveller as it ended 1-1. 🔮PREDICTION// 💥💥BANG ON💥💥We were told it was a bold prediction, and for all but 92 of the 93 minutes it looked like it would fall just short. But a late, late goal ensured we were absolutely right! Gerrin! Likes, reposts & comments are very much appreciated. If you really like our work why not buy us a Ko-Fi! Link in bio. ⚽

DIVISION ONE//ROUND UP A review of the seven Division One fixtures yesterday evening. Here we go! 👇 @bishopafc v @NBFC_Official 📊RESULT// Bishop Auckland 3-1 Newcastle Benfield The hosts went ahead through a Lee Hume goal on 16 minutes, the midfielder's low shot crossing the line despite the best effort of visiting keeper James Hughes. Gary Martin went close to adding a second for Bishops but he shot wide following a corner. The visitors would head into the break all square after Michael Annang-Colquhoun levelled on 38 minutes - two in two for the fleet footed forward as he prodded home from a Lewis Orrell free kick.. Bishops began the second half on the front foot, Martin once again testing Hughes shortly after the restart. The hosts probed but created a series of half chances. And that set the tone for the rest of the games, Bishops pushing forward and the visitors defending resolutely. However Benfield’s resolve was broken when two home substitutes combined with five minutes left to play to give the hosts the lead. Liam Jarvie stood up a cross to the beach post where Craig Moody headed in. The Two Blues made sure of the three points when Amar Purewal added a third five minutes into added time. Bishops climbed to 2nd place on the back of a first home victory of the season. Benfield finished the day in 16th place - having played a game less than most. 🔮PREDICTION// We had the hosts winning this 2-1 so we are slightly annoyed that Bishops scuppered us with a total unnecessary third. Thanks Amar. Next @Blyth_TownFC v @CarlisleCityFC 📊RESULT// Blyth Town 1-1 Carlisle City Table topping Town took the lead with six minutes played, Ben Franklin netting his third goal of the season with a wonderful curled strike for 1-0. Blyth’s Liam Noble then saw Aaron Taylor turn away his free kick as the hosts looked for a second. Franklin went close again for the home sides while Adam Gordon had a pot shot for City but the half ended with no further addition to the 1-0 scoreline. Jordan Irving was denied by a fine stop from Neil De Jesus in the Town net before Keighran Kerr fired well over as the City looked for a path back into the game. Then just after the hour the visitors were back level, Rob McCartney’s second goal of the season brought City all square, 1-1. That was the first league goal of the season that Blyth have conceded - they had gone 331 minutes without letting in a goal. McCartney nearly snatched a late winner but his header just cleared the crossbar. Blyth dropped their first points of the season but still remained top of Division One. City showed a resilience not seen since opening day to pick up their first away point of the campaign. They are in 12th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We had the hosts down to win 3-0 so we can safely say we got this one wrong. It happens. We are fine, really. Next @kendaltownfc v @NAycliffeFC 📊RESULT// Kendal Town 1-0 Newton Aycliffe The game’s opening forays were stop-start with fouls and free kicks punctuating a bitty start. Aycliffe were reduced to ten men on 20 minutes as Jordan Lavery picked up his second yellow card. The hosts’ best effort of the half came via the boot of Harry Pilkington but the midfielder's crisp effort bounced back off the woodwork. Goalless at the half. Skipper Bailey Kenny saw his back post header easily claimed by Tom Shanley in the visitors net as the second half got underway but chances remained at a premium for the Mintcakes in the face of resolute defending from Aycliffe. The deadlock was broken just before the hour mark, DJ Taylor with a low cross and Jack Millburn was there to prod home in a crowded box. The goal gave the hosts a spark, Joe Wilkinson and then Taylor had efforts but Shanley comfortably dealt with both. Aycliffe ratted the woodwork as the game entered the final twenty minutes as the nerves started to build for the hosts. Matty Clarke nearly settled those growing nerves but his shot was parried away by Shanley. But it ended 1-0 to the Mintcakes. A first win of the season for Kendal sees them climb up to 10th. Aycliffe’s winless run reached four games as they sit bottom of the embryonic NL1 table. 🔮PREDICTION// We predicted a 1-1 draw in this one. And without the red card who knows? But the sending off did happen and our call was an Aycliffe goal away. Pfft. Next @NorthShieldsFC v @Official_SAFC 📊RESULT// North Shields 3-1 Shildon The Robins went ahead on 14 minutes, Dan Wilson rising to head home a looping free kick to power home the opener. Lewis Suddick doubled the hosts lead on 24 minutes as he slotted home after Andrew Jennison had saved a Stephen Hall header. The best opportunity the visitors could muster was a Tom Price effort but he dragged his left foot shot wide. Shields two up at the break. Shildon started the second half on the front foot with Jon Weirs testing home stopper Callum Elliot. The visitors pulled a goal back on 53 minutes, Ben Reay with his first of the campaign. Shildon then threw the proverbially sink at the Shields goal. Reay again went close before a Joe Posthill headed flew just wide. Alfie Steel then broke through but once again Elliott was the equal of the visitors' effort. The Robins sealed it when Nelson Ogbewe claimed his fourth goal of the season deep into added time to make it 3-1. Shields up to 4th as they won on their first home outing of the season. Stuttering Shildon are in 15th place as they gel together a new look front line. A second league loss already for a side that lost only four times in league action all of last campaign. 🔮PREDICTION// We had Shildon taking a 2-1 win in this one. And the Robins punished a transitional Railwaymen side. And also made our prediction a little foolish. Ah well. Next @NorthallertonFC v @ThornabyFC_ 📊RESULT// Northallerton Town 3-2 Thornaby Ally scored inside the first twenty seconds. A ball played forward was collected by Harry Healy and former Billingham Synthonia striker slotted past Sam Taylor for 1-0. On 21 minutes it was two for the hosts. A Dale Hopson free kick was met by recent acquisition Norton Tomlinson to head home. Thornaby pulled a goal back from the penalty spot on the half hour. Spencer Walker sweeping home from twelve yards after Aaron Bell had been fouled. Walker then drilled an effort off the post as the Blue Lamps looked to get back on level terms. Ally ahead 2-1 at the break. The visitors showed their intentions as they rattled the woodwork again early into the second half The Lamps equalised on 68 minutes. Lucas Casson fired home to make it 2-2. Ally edged back in front on 77 minutes, and through a former Thornaby man, Dale Hopson slotted home what proved to be the winner from a Jack Stapley centre. Town claimed a first win of the season as they moved into 13th place. Thornaby lost on their first away league outing, they sit in 9th place. 🔮PREDICTION// We had Thornaby win this 3-1. Way off it turns out. The in-form Lamps turned over by a competitive Ally side - who showed resilience that wasn't there all too often last season. Next @WhitleyBayFC v @HordenCWFC 📊RESULT// Whitley Bay 0-1 Horden CW The game's first presentable chance fell to Horden’s Phill Angus but he blasted high and wide. The hosts had a glorious opportunity but Luca Shilling scuffed his effort after a Mikel Thomspon cut back. Horden then rattled the crossbar, Kyle Davis’ dipping effort bouncing to safety with Preston Leech beaten in the home goal. Davis then curled one just past the post as the visitors enjoyed a good spell. Goalless at the break. The Marras needed just six second half minutes to take the lead, Philly Angus rounded off a counter with a low drilled effort that nestled in the bottom corner. Ben Henderson almost extended the visitors lead but his low strike came back off the upright on the hour. The home woodwork was tested once more shortly after, a Davis header on this occasion. The visitors saw sub Kyle Middleton dismissed on 80 minutes but the closest the hosts came to rescuing a point was a George Brady header from a corner which cleared the Horden crossbar as the Marras stood firm to claim all three points. Bay are in 11th place after a second failure to win at Hillheads. Horden are still unbeaten and climbed to 7th place as they won on the road at the first time of asking. 🔮PREDICTION// Seahorses 1-0 Marras. Well we got the right scoreline but the wrong winner! The shot shy Seahorses virtually scuppered any chance we had, and then Angus ended hopes. Next @YarmEaglescliff v @penrith_afc 📊RESULT// Yarm & Eaglescliffe 1-3 Penrith The game started in end to end fashion but the first effort in anger came via the boot of Tom Atkinson, but his shot was well saved by Penrith stopper Lewis Boyd. The hosts next effort was an Atkinson header as the Eagles pushed for the opener. Despite early home pressure it was the visitors that claimed the first goal of the evening - and their first goal of the season. Jordan Palmer converted an 11th minute penalty despite home keeper Matty Calvert’s strong hand. Steven Roberts saw his crisp effort saved by Boyd but the visitors took a one goal lead into the break. Y&E were back on level terms on 51 mins, Roberts with his third goal of the season to make it 1-1. Parity was short-lived though as Palmer restored Penrith’s lead inside a minute as he claimed his second of the evening. The Eagles responded with Dan Jones, Tom Atkinson and Mikey Roberts - on his debut - all going close but it was the visitors that grabbed the next goal, and with another penalty. Palmer swept home the 84th minute spotkick to complete his hat trick, 3-1. The hosts ended the game down to ten as Harry Stewart-Titchner was sent to the sin-bin. And even the Eagles' occasional miraculous powers of recovery couldn’t save them on this occasion. Y&E lost for the first time this season in league action - and indeed for the first time in 2026. They are in 8th place after a first defeat in 222 days. Previously pointless Penrith claimed a first win - and first goals - of the new campaign.
