Following a meeting in December last year, it was decided that the Wearside League and Durham Alliance League would merge. The Durham Alliance League would then become a feeder league for the Wearside League and would be known as the Durham and Wearside Development Division.The nine founding teams are Durham United, Farringdon Detached, Seaton Carew, Sunderland North, Sunderland Town End, Wheatley Hill Working Mens Club, reserve teams from Durham City, Jarrow and Washington, plus today’s hosts - Hylton Sports Club. The club made their debut in the Durham Alliance last year, finishing fourth in their inaugural season.

Hylton SC(6th) v Jarrow Reserves(9th) TWR Bifolds Durham and Wearside Development DivisionMatchday 6v92pm koThe home team raced into a three goal lead with just over ten minutes gone, with a clinical brace from #9 and the #10 wriggled through a static defence for the third. By half time the #10 had completed his hat-trick to make it 5-0 and take Jarrow Ressies goal difference to -100 for the season. After the break #9 also grabbed his third of the afternoon on 50 minutes, before a bit of a mini revival from Jarrow, with a header from Ryan Stobbs and a 20 yarder from Ryan Wales. Moments later normal service was resumed with the #6 rifling in from the edge of the area, before the #8 got on the act with a quick double to make it 9-2. There was still time for a Daniel Steff to latch on to a long ball for his team’s third and to make it a round dozen for the afternoon.Matchday StatsHSCFC 9(#9 7,10,50 #10 12,19,24 #6 64 #8 81,82)Awaiting team sheet for goalscorersJFC Res 3(Stobbs 58 Wales 61 Steff 88)Att.18hcEntertainment 10/10
