Amble held to stalemate at Hexham
Only a single point is separating leaders Amble from second-placed Wideopen & District in the Northern Alliance Division Two- but North Shields Athletic are coming up on the rails.
Amble have picked up only a single point from three recent outings and could only draw 0-0 with hosts Hexham, who are proving difficult to beat at Wentworth Park (photo provided by Doug Robson of Hexham FC).
Gateshead Rutherford are four points clear at the head of the First Division, but with games in hand both Percy Main and Amble United are snapping at their heels.
Amble United marked their return to action with a 5-1 victory away to Newcastle East End. Brent Aisbitt opened United's account in the first half but straight after the interval Anthony Johnson levelled for the East Enders.
But in the last half-hour, Amble's pressure paid off in the shape of goals for substitute Darren Riddell (2), Greg Dance (penalty) and Paul White.
