Kelloe WMC 4 South Bank A.F.C 2
South Bank had the better of the early exchanges going close on a number of occasions with efforts from Davies and Laing on eight minutes Kelloe WMC countered when David Southern (Bedlington Terriers) hit the post. The clearance from Adam Livingstone found Harrison Davies his defence splitting pass found Paul Barker his volley ripping into the net rocking the strong Kelloe outfit. Kelloe tried to hit back a tremendous move involving Colin Iley (Billingham Synthonia), Gavin Barton (Consett) and Darren Kokes (Sunderland RCA) was blocked by Glen Corkain and Phillip King. South Bank were not overawed by the occasion and a great tackle by Mark Taylor on Keiran Megran (Consett) then his pass to Steven Barker saw a move involving Mitch Morris, Jamie May and Martin Laing put Harrison Davies clear his shot giving Kelloe keeper Carl Morris no chance 2-0. With Kelloe a little frustrated a number of challenges led to several free kicks to the Bank a nasty tackle on Mark Taylor led to a yellow card to a Kelloe player but on the stroke of half time David Southern pulled one back for Kelloe. HT 1-2.
The second half saw Kelloe come stronger with John Jury (Crook Town) and James Oates (Sunderland RCA) marshalling the no nonsense Kelloe defence to contain Martin Laing and Steven Barker. The Bank were holding firm until a dubious penalty when a Kelloe player going to ground near Paul Barker was harshly adjudged to have made contact with the player getting up smiling Glen Corkain was booked for for decent commenting on the decision. The penalty was despatched by Megran on 55 minutes 2-2. Glen Corkain twisted his ankle and was replaced by Jamie Clarke he soon was in the thick of the action with a timely tackle and a couple of headers as Kelloe stepped up the pressure. Paul Barker was struggling to carry on following a strong fair challenge by Alex Wilson (Esh Winning) he was replaced by Gary Owens his first pass to Harrison Davies almost brought a goal with a move involving Jamie May and Martin Laing with a great tackle on the edge of the Kelloe box by Graham Irving preventing a scoring chance for the Bank. Steven Barker pulled a muscle and was replaced by Ian Fairlamb with the Bank having to adjust the shape of the team. The game looked to be heading for extra time when Gavin Barton hit a screamer for Kelloe in the 85th minutes with Stephen Frost well beaten. The Bank rallied and countered with Laing and Davies linking with May his shot saved by Morris. In the 88th minute Kelloe hit a fourth through a strike by David Southern. This was the first time South Bank have entered this All England competition and Kelloe were the first to admit the North Riding County Cup holders South Bank gave them a run for their money in this crowd pleasing encounter that did the Stockton Sunday League proud.
