Heighington FC 1 v Durham Utd Panthers 2

The Heighington boys recent run of wins came to an end as they suffered a narrow defeat to a stubborn Durham side. The game was evenly balanced from the start but it was Durham who took the lead with a fantastic corner routine and saw the ball looping over Matty and into the top corner.

After half time the Heighington boys quickly found themselves level after Mitchell found himself 1 on 1 with the keeper and calmly slot the ball home.

Heartbreak struck 5 minutes from the end as Durham pressed forward causing a goalmouth scramble which saw the ball trickle over the line.

MOTM – Matty Brown.

Felling Magpies Black 0 v Heighington AFC 6

From start to finish the lads dominated the entire match. Could easily have been into double figures, scoring 6 and hitting the post several times as well. They fought to win the ball back every time Felling had it and didn’t give them any time or space to play.

Heighington Blacks 1 v Boro Rangers Reds 3

A slow game for Heighington saw Boro take the lead and close the game out with counter attacking football that sent Boro Rangers to the top of the League table.

Heighington flew at Boro Rangers in the opening exchanges and went ahead when Cole Raines 40 yarder shot looped over the stranded GK.

Heighington then battled well until the 20th minute but Boro Rangers lofted a ball into the box and a mistake at the back led to an equaliser.

Heighington actually had the better chances in the second half, with Alex Scaife firing wide then hitting a post then clean through and heading over from point-blank range.

Manager David Raine was left to regret those missed opportunities as a late Boro Rangers surge ended with BRR winner to send Rangers nine points clear at the top of the table and inflict Heighingtons’ first league loss since September 2020.
