NOTICEBOARD
Jack Donaghy is set to face a lengthy spell on the sidelines following an injury in training.
The ever-present centreback, who has made 28 appearances this season, suffered a broken arm during training on Thursday night. He then underwent surgery and is expected to be out of action for a minimum of six weeks while recovering.

Everyone at the club wishes Jack the very best of luck with his recovery period and hope to see him back on the pitch soon. Meanwhile fellow defender Daniel Field has joined Northern League Division Two side, Tow Law Town, on dual-registration terms. Field, who has featured four times this campaign for Hebburn, was named on the bench last weekend as Tow Law travelled to
Heaton Stannington.
Finally we're thrilled to announce Jake Hackett has returned on loan until the end of the season. The midfielder, who can also play at left-back, arrives from Whitby Town having played twice for Hebburn in December.
Subs Used
Amar Purewal’s sixth consecutive league goal extended Hebburn's winning spree to eight games.
Liam Murray nearly created the opener as the midfielder superbly lofted a ball through for Joe Walton, who hooked over inside the area. Tom Devitt then slashed a shot off target after Robbie Spence crossed to the defender at the back post. At the other end, Nathan Tyson found Matt Tootle at the back stick but the experienced right-back couldn’t take advantage on the counter.
Tyson had Grantham’s best chance straight after halftime, as the former Nottingham Forest man cut inside before stroking an effort off the crossbar.
Shaun Newbrook played a vital role in keeping it level on 57 minutes as he kept out Daniel Cocks one-on-one. Purewal got the allimportant goal midway through the second period when Jack Donaghy’s long throw was flicked on by Spence, before the forward stabbed home at close-range. It could’ve been two when Ashton Hall’s pass didn’t reach the goalkeeper and Liam Henderson intercepted, but the substitute hit wide in an excellent position. Hebburn defended well in the dying stages, and Henderson even threatened with an effort from distance, as Moore’s side held on to the three points.
