GRAINGER Park’s victory over Northern Alliance Division One champions Gateshead A on Monday evening means Hexham have been denied in their promotion push.

The Tynedale side have been pipped to the second spot up to the Premier Division by Park, who inflicted just a second defeat on runaway champions Gateshead courtesy of a 2-1 scoreline.

Hexham bring what has been an outstanding season to a close with a trip to Felling Magpies on Saturday, the team securing third spot in the division.

Prudhoe YC Seniors finished their season with a dissapointing 7-1 defeat at Hazlerigg Victory on Wednesday evening.

Eddie Brazier hit a consolation goal for Prudhoe against the dominant hosts, with the Seniors finishing mid-table in Division Two.

Despite mounting a serious title challenge for most of the season, Ponteland United finished down in fifth in the Premier Division.

Meanwhile, Wallington were five places below as they finished with a 6-3 defeat at Walker Central. Their goals came from Thomas Truscott, John Meehan and John Paxton.
