Defender Kieran Russel scored the only goal as Ryton & Crawvrook Albion picked up a huge 1-0 win over Esh Winning at Kingsley Park on Saturday.

The win is Albion’s first in seven games and lifts them out of the bottom three with five games to go.

An injury-time equaliser from Daniel Lofts for Boro Rangers denied Ryton & Crawcrook Albion a win at the league leaders.

Aaron Costello headed Albion into the lead after 14 minutes in Stokesley and looked set to pick up all three points before the late leveller from Lofts, who had a penalty saved by Thomas Dawson on the stroke of half time.

Late goals from Charlie Grieveson and Kurtis Russell helped Ryton & Crawcrook Albion salvage a point against Newcastle University at Kingsley Park on Saturday.

The Uni took a 2-0 lead inside the first 12 minutes thanks to Matthew Foster (9) and Jos Veitch (12) and looked set to take all three points until Grieveson (87) and Russell’s (90) late strikes.

Ryton & Crawcrook Albion dropped two points after surrendering a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Chester-le-Street United on a frustrating afternoon at the Ford Hub in Sunderland.

Harvey Walsh gave Albion the perfect start from the penalty spot after 8 minutes before he doubled the advantage three minutes later.

The hosts pulled a goal back through Keallan Huddleston five minutes before the break and then levelled with Taylor Campbell’s free kick 20 minutes from the end.

There were chances for both sides to nick it in the remaining time – with the best of them falling to Walsh, who blazed a 77th minute penalty over the bar. But the spoils would be shared, much to the away side’s frustration as they lost the opportunity to close the gap to Sunderland West End to one point in the race for Northern League survival.

Nathan Beckham’s side, who have eight games remaining including two in hand over the Wearsiders, travel to Brandon United on Wednesday.

Ryton & Crawcrook Albion fell to their third consecutive defeat after first half goals from Liam Wotherspoon and Brandon Slater gave Blyth Town a comfortable 2-0 win at Kingsley Park on Saturday.

The result leaves Albion four points adrift in 19th spot in the Ebac Northern League with nine games to go. Nathan Beckham’s side travel to Chester-le-Street United next Saturday.

Ryton & Crawcrook Albion have been beaten 3-1 by Prudhoe YC Seniors in the Tyne Valley derby on Friday evening.

Harry Poole had given Albion an early lead at Essity Park but that was cancelled out by former RACA man Matthew Law shortly after. Another ex – Harry Mitchell – gave the hosts the lead in the second half before Josh Scott sealed Prudhoe’s win in injury time.

Ryton & Crawcrook Albion suffered a 2-1 injury time defeat at home to Redcar Town on Saturday.

Kyle Gilmour’s 85th-minute equaliser – cancelling out Samuel Webster’s opener for the visitors – looked like giving Albion a share of the points until Kurtis Howes’s late winner.
