I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters of Billingham Synthonia and I hope they enjoy their afternoon with us. This is the second time we have met this season, having shared the points in a 2-2 draw on Teesside back at the beginning of Septe mber. After leading by two goals shortly before half time that afternoon, we were pegged back as the Synners fought back strongly. We were all disappointed to have Tuesday evening’s game at South Shields called off at the last minute but parts of the pitch were clearly waterlogged. As some fans were saying after the postponement was announced, we have played in worse conditions; FA Vase ties at Bootle and at home to Flixton come to mind. However, the referee has to make the decision taking into account the safety of the players and the prospects of a fair contest being possible. Next Saturday we begin our defence of the FA Vase with another trip to west Yorkshire, this time to Thackley. This will be our fourth outing to the same area this season, following FA Cup ties at Liversedge, Ossett and Guis eley and we will be hoping to make it three wins out of four, although it will not be an easy task. On the only previous occasion we have met in the FA Vase, Thackley won 3-1 back in 2004. Let’s hope we can reverse that score and enjoy another memorable FA Vase run.

Eight minutes into the game, with the tall interrupted as the referee penalised both sides with a Andy Jennings in particular posing a threat, Burke had series of baffling decisions, one of which was the to push a shot from near the right touchline over the booking handed out to Taylor for a quite innocuous bar. Three minutes later the visitors took the lead from a challenge. Both sides made changes around the hour seemingly harmless situation but Steven Roberts saw mark, Whitley bringing on Paul Chow in place of Taylor, his chance and lobbed the ball over Burke. It appeared but play was then held up for several minutes when that the ball would clear the goal but it dropped just referee Danny Markham pulled a muscle and despite under the bar for what was only the fourth goal treatment was unable to continue.

The lead lasted only seven minutes, when Lee Kerr crossed powerfully from the left. The ball was heading past the far post but Adam Johnston reacted quickly, getting his head to the ball to divert it back across goal past Briggs and into the net. Deep into the time added while the referee was being replaced, Gary Ormston almost won the game for Whitley when his header from Robinson’s corner crashed off the top of the bar with Briggs beaten.
