Coundon is a former mining village in the Bishop Auckland area of County Durham. Its name comes from the original "Cunadun", which translates in Old English as "cow's hill".
Coundon Cons are another club who switched from the Crook & District League to the Wearside League at the start of this season. The club play just outside Coundon at the Leeholme Recreation Ground, which has a railed off slopey pitch with a cricket field at the other side of the changing room block.

West End led by the odd goal in five at the break, before Cons blitz their opponents in the second half with four goals in the last half an hour.
With the scores level at 3-3, the hosts were reduced to ten men, however that seemed to spur them on, with a thunderous free kick from Jordan Maughan and a cracking finish from Liam Blighe amongst the highlights.
