Horden CW are just a point outside the Division Two promotion places following an exciting, last-gasp victory over Guisborough Town at Welfare Park.
David Onions gave the visitors the lead during a scrappy opening half when he fired past the advancing James Winter.

The game livened up in the second period when Horden played much better
and deservedly equalised on 68 minutes.

Guisborough
goalkeeper John Mohan fumbled the ball and Craig Hubbard pounced from close range.

At this stage, the Colliers were dominant and it looked as if they would go on and win comfortably but they were rocked seven minutes from time when they paid the penalty for poor defending and Liam McPhillips took advantage.

Now Horden were fighting for a point, and as they powered forward the equaliser came in the last minute of normal time with Jonathan Monaghan sneaking in to score.

The drama was not over and in stoppage time Hubbard became Horden's hero as he slid the ball into the net for a 3-2 win.

Former Hebburn Town striker Gary McCartney played as an emergency goalkeeper for Washington and made several outstanding saves to earn his side a point against his former colleagues.

When Michael Armstrong cut the ball back from the by-line, Carl McMann gave the South Tynesiders a 15th-minute lead and there were only 14 minutes remaining as Paul Turrell produced a superb 30-yard strike into the bottom corner of the net.

Hebburn keeper Gary Frater made an excellent save from John Lydon to deny Keith Sheardown's side all three points.

Marske United are fifth top and Crook seventh following their 1-1 draw.

Whickham moved into the top six with victory at Team Northumbria where Keith Mayne scored the only goal, latching on to a miss-directed back pass and beating goalkeeper Matt Drury.

Brandon United's game at Stokesley SC was abandoned after 28 minutes because of fog and the fixture between Thornaby and Prudhoe Town met the same fate at the interval.

Frostbound pitches caused the postponement of the entire First Division
programme.
