Northern League Division 1

7 April 2007

 

Bishop Auckland 1 : Billingham Town 2

 

 

Team:  Paul Clements, Paul Crager, Paul Collins, Craig Winter, Paul Griffith, Robbie Clarkson, Bryan Stewart, Lee Johnston (Daryll Evans), Gavin Parkin (Matthew Coad), Lev Yalcin, Dale Mendum

 

Bishops were unlucky not to pick up a point against a Billingham Town side still with an outside chance of the Northern League Championship.

 

Bryan Stewart scored a solo goal on three minutes to give the Two Blues the lead, and Craig Winter missed a great headed opportunity soon after.

 

Billingham equalised before half time with a long range effort which flew in past Clements.

 

Bishops were 2-1 down soon after half time, and late in the game Clements picked up Bishops obligatory red card for handling outside the area.  Paul Griffith deputised effectively.
