Football
Redcar Athletic geared up for tomorrow night’s North Riding Cup quarter-final at home to Boro Under 21s (kick-off 7.30pm) with a 3-2 Green Lane victory against a Gateshead Leam Rangers side who finished the game with eight men.
Fresh from beating Stokesley 3-1 in a midweek friendly, Redcar took the lead on 23 minutes when Lance Skelton fired low into the net.
Leam Rangers equalised just three minutes later through Taylor Hughes, and the same player made it 2-1 to the visitors following a blunder involving Smuk and Redcar keeper Matthew Berry.
Redcar’s Adam Preston rounded the keeper to make it 2-2, and the visitors had keeper Scott Young sent off for a blatant foul on Adam Preston.
Rangers skipper Leon Kane then walked for a second bookable offence, and James Swann scored Redcar’s 85th minute winner with a diving header before Anthony Mpwilu was sent off in stoppage time.
Kallum Hannah became Stockton Town’s club record top scorer for goals scored in a single season as he struck twice in his side’s 5-0 cruise at Seaton Carew.
Hannah’s double took him to 33 goals for the campaign, one more than the 32 which Tom Atkinson scored last season.
Adam Nicholson, Micky Dunwell (penalty) and a late Kraig Wilkinson strike following Hannah’s break and cross saw Town cut the gap behind leaders Ryhope to two points.
Stephen Gill’s side have four of their next six games at home, starting this weekend against a Gateshead Leam Rangers side coming off their ill-disciplined defeat at Redcar.
