Morpeth's winning streak ends

The yellow and blacks twice came from behind with goals from Damien Stevens and Lewis Reilly but went down to a narrow 3-2 reverse.

Reilly’s goal and assist earned him the man of the match plaudits with a Morpeth official noting that he was: “Also solid in defence and put in some crucial tackles.”

Morpeth remain second in the Northern Alliance Second Division with the Tynesiders reducing the gap to four points, though they have played a game more.

North Sunderland took a point on the road with a 1-1 draw at Benton.

The Fishermen are in ninth spot with games in hand on the sides around them.

They host Gosforth Bohemians Reserves at Seafields on Saturday.
