Stubborn Tudhoe hold Hunwick
Jackson Anderson Accountants Spennymoor Sunday League
A STUBBORN Tudhoe United held title-chasing Hunwick Joiners to a draw to hinder their championship hopes.
Christian Schofield put Tudhoe into a one-goal lead before super sub Peter Lonsdale drew Hunwick level.
And Tudhoe’s James Curley said: “It was a good game and I think we matched them. Before the game we would have took the draw, but I think we did enough to take all three points.”
Hunwick’s Aidan McCabe said: “It was an even game but we had the better play towards the end, we just ran out of time. Tudhoe are a hard team to break down, they can play a bit themselves and did very well – they’re a good set of lads as well!”
