Newton Aycliffe FC v Seaham Red Star

By Martin Walker
Newton Aycliffe claimed an important away point with their first game in 10 days at Seaham Red Star.
Allan Oliver's side again missed a string of chances which ultimately denied them what would have been their sixth away win of the season.
Dion Raitt warmed goalkeeper Kyle Barlow's hands in the second minute with a thumping free-kick he had to turn over the bar.
Dan Lennon missed the best chance of the first half just after the half-hour mark when his strike partner Dan Mellanby turned well and crossed, but Lennon steered his shot just wide.
Ste Richardson was called into action at the other end on 40 minutes, saving Anthony Hume's shot with his legs in a one-on-one.
Paul Broom then gave Aycliffe the lead three minutes later when Barlow could only parry Raitt's shot and Broom slotted in the loose ball.
The visitors could have doubled their advantage 10 minutes after the re-start when Mellanby put Raitt through with a clever ball, but the midfielder took one touch too far and Barlow was able to gather.
Seaham gradually took hold of the game and Richardson kept them at bay again with 15 minutes to go, palming Jamie May's left-footed shot wide.
But Aycliffe surrendered their lead with just four minutes to go when Ian Fairlamb jumped to thump a strong header past the Aycliffe 'keeper.
The visitors held on during three minutes of injury time in what was a good point on reflection.
