Trimdon Man of the Match:Matthew Grimley for an excellent striking performance.
The game started evenly with both teams working hard to get the upper hand with some good football being played in all areas of the pitch.
Trimdon came closest to scoring with two headers from Matthew Grimley and Mark Waller from excellent corners by Adam Ward before finally breaking the deadlock when Matthew Grimley scored with a superb shot from around 30 yards which gave the Billingham Keeper little chance.
Trimdon relaxed and started to play some good football and deservedly increased their lead when Stephen Burke converted a knock back from Matthew Grimley following another excellent corner by Adam Ward.
Billingham however were given a lifeline when a mistake in the Trimdon Defence allowed their speedy center forward to break through and score a well taken goal.
Billingham’s joy was short lived however when a skilful interchange between Stephen Burke and Robert Hughes allowed Burke to supply a good cross which was volleyed home strongly by Matthew Grimley to restore the two goal advantage.
Billingham were then denied a second by an excellent save from Ryan Johnson in the Trimdon goal.

Trimdon again hit back quickly when a great pass from Thomas Flint found Stephen Burke who crossed well for Matthew Grimley who controlled and turned well before driving in to complete his hat trick.
