20/11/08 22:09
In the first round of the Kitchen Magic Cup N Trust pulled off the shock of the round. They took on Premier League side SRM Hylton Castle who are struggling at the moment at Hylton Road where N Trust are hard to beat. In an entertaining game with both sides playing some decent football. It was N Trust who scored first through Smith, SRM hit back thanks to Rush and then took the lead through a well taken Cook goal.
But as side earlier N Trust are hard to beat at home and Small equalised, then a well worked goal from Cowley sent N Trust into the next round to face Humbledon Nordem. Humbledon had a tricky tie at Hall Farm but came through 4 - 1 winners. Hall Farm held their own for a half hour but Stewart broke the deadlock and Maddison added a second. Hall Farm responded straight away with a 25 yarder from Shannon.
However Nordem turned on the style in the second half "knocking the ball round like Chelsea" said Chairman Steele and added two more from Dunn and Holmes. Hylton
Castle Arms and Colliery TavGolden Fleece were knocked out at the first stage by Myers both struggling in the Premier League. McCourt and Thompson putting Myers through to meet Heppies.
In The Dairy Lane Dental Practice Cup Steels Athletic took on Wearside Wildcats in the local Hylton Road derby. Wildcats took an early lead through Bell but Steels hit back thanks to the evergreen centre half Jenkins. Johnson, Staite and Cullen added further goals for Steels, Anderson got one backe but not enough, Bernie Winters men winning 4 - 2 and meet The Blue Bell next.
Tonys Audios who are having one of their best seasons ever beat Pure 6 - 2. McMahon 2, Dodd 2, Doran and Cullen. Pure who have lost their leading scorer Ian Old to Roseberry Leisure getting their goals from Dane, Old and Noble.
The Highest scoring game of the day was RIC Training's demolition of Neyves Jewellers 10 - 3. Armstrong and Brian Carter with hattricks, Montgomery with a brace, Newby and a "gem of a goal" said the Gaffer from Paul Carter, Consolations from Jobling, Sloan and Reeves for the Jewellers who are really struggling at the moment.
Ryhope CC beat Hetton Town 4 - 2, Robinson 2, Pattison and Rogerson, Diamond and Lay for Hetton.
Washington Nostalgia Marble beat the Victory Club 3 - 2. Willis and a brace from Graney. Rodgers brace not enough for the battling Victory.
In The Premier League Silksworth Paragon beat Redhouse WMC 4 - 0. Henry's young chargers hold their own this season and had Smith with a brace. Brown and Redman to take them third in the league.

Match Report submitted by Ian Ferguson
F.A. Carlsberg Sunday Cup : Sunday 16th. Nov. 2008 at
Seaham Red Star
RCA The Barnes progressed into the last 32 of the National Sunday F.A.
Cup competition with a hard fought & battling 2-1 victory over a very
strong Dawdon C.W. team at Seaham Red Stars ground on Sunday.
The match took place in almost perfect conditions on an excellent
playing surface & RCA started strongly keeping possession early on and
gaining confidence. As the half progressed Dawdon started to gain more
control & kept the ball whilst not creating any definite openings untill
RCA keeper Chris Errington had to save smartly from a long range effort.
RCA central defenders Curtis and Hall were in excellent form and
consistently snuffed out any half chances created by Dawdon, whilst
being ably supported by full backs Surtees and Hughes.
After 30 mins. RCA started to get a bit more ball & a good move started
down the right flank by Surtees & carried on by Willie Crew who laid the
ball across the area to the far corner were Andy Gilbert laid it of for
the late arriving Martin Metcalfe to control and strike a perfect low
shot into the keepers right hand corner giving him no chance of saving,
1-0 to RCA.
The rest of the first half ran its course with neither side being able
to create any more worthwhile chances, to give a ht score of 1-1 to RCA.
Dawdon statrted the second half on the front foot and pressurised RCA
from the off with the midfield of Metcalfe, Hartley, Teasdale & young
Mark Robinson having to put in double shifts to compete with the
increasingly dominant Dawdon. Chris Errington then produced another top
drawer save after an hour, tipping over a powerfull close range header &
again Curtis & Hall had to be at their best to keep the sprightly Dawdon
forwards at bay. RCA were now restricted to playing on the break & with
Robinson now pushed up front after the substitution of an injured
Gilbert by Gary Tyzack, they kept Dawdons back line on their toes whilst
having the odd half chance. However with the increasing pressure the RCA
defence were for once found wanting on 83 mins when a long diagonal ball
from right back cleasred the right hand sude of the RCA back line &
Chapman took the ball down expertly on his chest & rifled in from 15
yards, an excellent goal.
RCA then sent on Matty Stevens for Teasdale & the home crowd were
expecting Dawdon to carry on and no doubt get a winner, but that was
forgetting the indomitable spirit of this young, committed RCA outfit
who never know when to quit & on 87 mins they broke throught the inside
right channel & top scorer Willie Crew advanced on goal only for the
Dawdon keeper to make a good block. However the ball rebounded out to 25
yards from goal in a central position & 17 year old Mark Robinson became
the match winner when he picked his spot and stroked the ball home into
the top left hand corner of the net despite the efforts of Dawdons last
line defender.
The referee then found 6 mins extra time from somewhere but RCA were not
to be denied & went on to register an excellent 2-1 victory with what is
best described as an all round great team effort.
Look out on the web pages for the 3rd. Rd. draw, which should be posted
some time shortly & many thanks to the supporters who turned up, it is
appreciated by the players & officials.

F.A. Carlsberg Sunday Cup : First Round
19/10/08 15:00
RCA The Barnes 4 Liverpool Lee Jones 0
RCA The Barnes stormed through to the Second round of the National
Sunday F.A. Cup with a resounding 4-0 victory over the previously
unbeaten Liverpool outfit Lee Jones F.C.
RCA started the match on the front foot & pressurised from the first
minute & were rewarded for their positive start when Martin Metcalfe
crossed into a crowded box & Gary Tyzack found space for a powerful
header into the bottom left hand corner to give RCA a 5th. Minute
lead. RCA continued in much the same vein with Paul Hartley & Matty
Stevens bossing the midfield & creating good chances which were
spurned by profligate finishing, but after 30 minutes Matty Stevens
chased down a hopeful ball to the left edge of the goal line & sent a
curling cross towards goal, which the goalkeeper & his defender
conspired to make a mess of, resulting in the defender putting into
his own goal to give RCA a 2-0 lead. RCA should have increased this
lead before half time but a couple of decent saves from Lee Jones's
keeper kept the score to 2-0 at ht.
Lee Jones started the second half with the slope & the wind in their
favour & RCA were expecting a tough time of it, but the next goal was
going to be the important one & it was RCA who killed the tie when
good work down the right hand side from Alan Surtees & Gary Tyzack
released Willie Crew through the inside right channel, who then side
stepped a defender & cooly slotted home to give RCA a 3-0 lead after
50minutes.
Lee Jones then applied the first real presure on the home defence, but
with Philly Hall & Micky Curtis both standing firm it came to nought,
before the best move of the game, which started when RCA worked their
way out of their right back/corner flag position with quick incisive
passing from Surtees & Tyzack
resulted in Paul Hartley cleverly releasing Wille Crew through on goal
& he easily rounded the keeper to slot home, 4-0 to RCA.
Lee Jones then had 2 players dismissed over the same incident, when
their keeper brought down RCA's Martin Metcalfe, who had knocked the
ball past him & was through on goal for what would have been the fifth
goal, & was correctly shown the red card & a further player showed
dissent at this decision & was given his second yellow.
RCA then played out the last 15mins. avoiding any possible injuries &
now look forward to the second round draw & next weeks Durham County
Sunday Cup match against South Moor Sports in Stanley.
