Following the resignation of Manager Stevie Johnson, Synthonia made the trip to face Boldon CA and lost out in a 2-0 reverse.
Synners made some good chances in the first half and thought they had the opener when Jamie Davis slipped in Ryan Appleby who slid the ball past the keeper and into the net. However, the assistant Referee raised his flag for a very questionable offside decision.
Boldon opened the scoring soon after when in the 34th minute a free-kick wide left caught out Synners keeper Ben Fairless as JORDAN REED saw his dead ball delivery sneak inside the near post.
The hosts double there advantage in first half stoppage time as they advanced on an absent Billingham rearguard and KAUE FOY received a square ball to fire into the net for what proved to be the deciding goal.
Referee: A Beswick, Assistants: P Henderson, J Brampton.
Attendance: 84
