In the Sportsworld North Northumberland League, Belford continue to lead Division Two - but only after just edging out local rivals Bamburgh Castle.

Kevin Greshon and Chris Hay were the Belford scorers, with Kevin Potts replying for Bamburgh.

Springhill had Stevie Eamons and Mark Reid on target as they kept up their challenge with a win over Boulmer, whose single reply came from Mathew Sullivan.

In the Sanderson Cup, Alnwick Town Reserves and Shilbottle were level after normal time.

Two extra-time goals saw Alnwick through, while Ashington Athletic made the trip to Berwick worthwhile by netting six times in the victory over Berwick United Reserves.

It took extra time before Lowick went through at the expense of Bedlington Terrier Reserves, while Rothbury kept up their good early-season form to ease past Berwick Town.

In the Runciman Cup, Lynemouth had Darren Burn netting four times in a seven-goal success over Rothbury Reserves.

At Wooler, it also took extra time before the home club made progress at the expense of Embleton WR.

Meanwhile, Peterlee Town have won five of their six away games so far in the Northern Alliance Division One and they continued the run with a 5-2 victory over lowly hosts Berwick United.

Four of the Newtowners' goals were scored by Elliott McGiade, with their fifth claimed by Louis Smith. Berwick's replies came from Paul Richardson and Craig Heugh.
