Rugby: Seaham slip up
Seaham slipped to a 52-5 defeat at home to Blyth in Durham and Northumberland Division Three on Saturday.
Hooker Andrew Baxter scored the hosts' try, cutting the deficit to 14-5 in the first half.
But an ill-disciplined second-half performance proved costly, with Neil Hays sent off for a punch in the 68th minute.
Secretary Neil Roseberry said: "If the players had put their energy into playing instead of fighting, the result would have been a little kinder."
* Houghton went down 32-13 at Ponteland in Division Two to stay second bottom.
* Durham City finally claimed their first win in North Two East, thanks to a hard-earned 17-11 success at Driffield. City have been given a boost by a restructuring of rugby for next season, which includes no relegation from their division.
