Ponteland Roma and Haydon Bridge drew 3-3 in a match in which the lead changed several times.

Efforts are being made to boost visitor numbers along Hadrian's Wall Country - the 84-mile long and 10-mile wide corridor running from South Shields across to Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast.
Hadrian's Wall Heritage is responsible for promoting the area and the Hadrian Exhibition at the British Museum in London, run in conjunction with an advertising campaign on the London Underground encouraging people to visit the North East, has been this year's key focus.
Golfers get in the swing next month at one of the region's most scenic courses to help a paralysed rugby player.
Dunstanburgh Castle GC at Embleton Bay, near Alnwick, stages the Ali Johnson Trust Fund Golf Day on Wednesday, October 8, 2008.

A plan to set up a £3m indoor tennis centre in Tynedale has been backed by local clubs.

A working men's club criticised by locals for "noise, disorder and lack of management" has had the conditions of its licence changed.
Haltwhistle Working Men's Club, in Northumberland, must now employ a bouncer when live or recorded music is to be played and a "noise limiting system" is to be installed in the building.
The club had been warned on more than one occasion it was not complying with the conditions of its licence and was brought before Tynedale Council for a review.
Something hot - very hot - is happening at a windswept spot high up on the roof of Northumberland overlooking the bleak but starkly beautiful Cold Fell.

Behind a row of stone-built cottages at Lane Head lies one of those quirky food producers that the North East seems to specialise in - the memorably named Trees Can't Dance.
There may have been Caribbean-style music playing, but the flavour of Saturday's Journal Taste 2 Festival was distinctly local.
To the rhythm of the North Tyneside Steel Band, and with the smell of fresh coffee mingling with the cooking meat on the Geordie Burger stand, people from across the North East got a taste of the wealth of quality food and drink on offer in their region.
