Belford 0 Alnwick Town Reserves 4
ALNWICK Town Reserves notched another great win on a great day for football weather-wise.
The first chance on Saturday fell to Belford, but a great block by Jordan Rogerson stopped the Belford forward from scoring.
Belford had another early chance when a back-pass to Saunders in the Alnwick goal was intercepted but the Belford number eight hit a weak shot, allowing Saunders to get back and save.
The first goal came from a great cross by Rogerson to Mike Openshaw, who powered a great header into the top corner.

SPRINGHILL started this game the better of the two teams with early chances for the two forwards, but both shot over.
Alnwick started to get back in the game after 15 minutes when a good turn by Dale Kennedy allowed him to get in a shot, which was
cleared only as far as Jakey Lowes. He could not keep the ball down and it flew over.
Springhill's left-winger should have done better when he cut in from the left but he snatched at his shot with only Gordon Saunders to beat.
Alnwick scored the first goal thanks to a 30-yard free-kick from Michael Smith which went in off the underside of the crossbar.
Springhill wasted a good chance at the other end when Saunders in the Alnwick goal was harshly deemed to have handled outside the box, but the resulting free-kick came to nothing.

ROBSON CUP QUARTER-FINAL
Lynemouth Reserves 0 Alnwick Town Reserves 3
ALNWICK Town Reserves have booked their place in the semi-final of the Robson Cup.

The game was marred by the wind. Town won the toss and decided to go into the wind in the first half.
Lynemouth started the strongest and applied the early pressure.
The Alnwick defence coped well and after soaking up the Lynemouth onslaught they started to get back into the match, keeping the ball on the ground. Alnwick had their first chance when a goal-mouth scramble led to the home team clearing off the line and Dale Kennedy had a shot saved.
