With the Division cups taking place, only one North Northumberland League game was played last weekend.

But it was a significant result, with Belford taking over at the top of Division Two with a 3-2 win at Springhill.

David Jardine notched twice for the home side, before Ryan Lillico pulled one back for Belford. But two late goals from Kevin Greshon meant Belford took the three points - and the No 1 spot.

In the Anderson Cup, Bedlington Terriers Reserves and Shilbottle drew 3-3 after extra time, sending the game into a penalty shoot-out, which went the way of Shilbottle.

Lowick United had a 2-0 win over Alnwick Town Reserves, while Thomas MacPherson netted a hat-trick in Rothbury's 7-0 win at Berwick United Reserves.

A John McAlpine hat-trick gave Ashington Athletic a 3-0 away win at Berwick Town.

In the Robson Cup, Craster Rovers lost out to Boulmer FC, while two second-half goals for Alnmouth saw them come from behind to beat Wooler.

Lynemouth Institute were made to work hard for their win at Bamburgh Castle, as it took two goals in the last five minutes to see them to victory.
