Newton Aycliffe FC v Billingham Town

By Dan LewisJamie Owens bagged four times as Newton Aycliffe returned to form with a resounding victory away at struggling Billingham Town.
The hosts were sat firmly on the bottom of the table without a point but pessimists among the travelling Newtonians were predicting Aycliffe could be just the team to change that.
However, with a number of senior players available again, the team had a more experienced feel about it.Owens once again gave the Royal Blues an early lead and after Billy Town were forced into two substitutions due to injury, Stuart Owen slotted home Aycliffe’s second.
But the home side pulled a goal back on the stroke of half time, giving Oliver’s team talk a different feel.
Once again though, it was Jamie Owens who proved the ‘go-to’ man, as he slotted home at the near post at the start of the second half to restore the two-goal cushion. Soon after, the hosts missed a gilt-edged chance to pull a goal back, and that seemed to suck the life out of them, as soon after Owens completed his hat-trick. When Dan Wilson scored his first goal for Aycliffe, the score had a more comfortable look about it, and Owens finished proceeding off with his fourth of the night to give Aycliffe a comfortable victory.
