Following the previous week's unfortunate defeat to Northumbria St Georges, Morpeth Mens 1st XI were fully aware that nothing but a win would do against fellow arch rivals, Newcastle University Students who's 4th XI were newly promoted to the league this season.

Northumbrians can order their old garden waste to be delivered to their door thanks to a county composting scheme.

Household waste recovery centres in the county are launching a scheme so that households can buy back their old composted garden waste.

Last year the council collected almost 20,000 tonnes of leaves, grass and hedge and tree cuttings for processing into compost at local farms - saving this material from being buried in landfill sites, reducing greenhouse gases and also reducing the need for peat based composts.

The final reckoning for the Morpeth Sunday League Division Two table will have to wait until next week after Blackthorn Rovers v East Chevington was postponed until next Sunday.

In Division One of the Morpeth Sunday League, Lynemouth have all but sewn up the league title with an unbelievable 19-0 hammering of Ashington Booze Brothers.

Marc Richardson (6), Andy Spratt (4), Antony Wade (3), John Ramm (2), Andrew Johnson (2), David Brown and Gareth Rees were all on target. Traveller's Rest Choppington can still draw level on points with their last game of the season next week, but Lynemouth have a goal difference which is twenty four more than their rivals.

Linton and Woodhorn Social Club also rounded off their campaign with a win with a 3-2 success at Stobhill Social Club. Michael Scott and Ashley McAlpine scored for Stobhill, but a brace from Michael Freathy and a Richard Morris goal won it for the visitors.

The end of the season is coming down to the wire as both the teams vying for the title in Morpeth Sunday League Division One now have just one game remaining.

In a lower-scoring game, Pegswood Ex-Services and Red Row Brick Club had to settle for a point apiece with a 1-1 draw. Josh Gilmartin scored for Pegswood, with Ian Common on target for Red Row.

Morpeth Hockey Club 2nds scored six goals in their last two games of the season to notch up a draw and a win at the weekend.

On Saturday the 2nds faced Marton Furness 3rds, and Morpeth went in to this game hoping for a win over the team one place and three points below them in the league. The game started cautiously but Morpeth's first chance came from a short corner, with the strike from Bott narrowly missing the post.
