Staithes Athletic 0 v 4 Thornaby Dubliners

The Dubs extended their unbeaten run to 12 games with a dominating display against a Staithes side who from the whistle were looking to frustrate rather than create.

The Dubs created the first chance of the game after 7 mins when some good work from Anton Buchan put Tom Atkinson through on goal who forced the Staithes keeper into the first of many saves of the game.

Anton Buchan was again the provider for the second chance of the game after 23 mins this time for Russ Spence who side footed the opportunity straight at the keeper.

The relentless pressure and fine passing by the Dubs finally paid off on 33 mins when the Dubs took following some good work from Danny Flynn who found Anton Buchan on the right who crossed across the area and James Tattersfield finished from 8 yards out with a glancing header.
