Hardwick Youth 2 v U12 Eagles 8
The boys were up for it from the initial whistle and although they seemed a little rusty at first it didn’t take them long to find their form. Going a goal down with a shot from distance within the first 3 minutes gave them the shock they needed to wake up and it wasn’t long before they found an equaliser before running away with the game.
Goals came from Carter 3, Harley 3, Jack V 2. MOM: Dan, who worked really hard up and down the wings with a great attitude and a smile on his face. Getting stuck into tackles, playing fantastic passes to his teammates and leaving nothing on the pitch.
South Shields 9 v U14 Girls 4 (Sunday) Cup Semi Final
The first 25 minutes is as good as Aycliffe have played against South Shields this season, winning individual battles and creating opportunities. After going 1-0 down, against the run of play, Lana equalised. Shields were ruthless in front of goal and took the lead on 25 minutes. Then the Shields took the game away from us adding 4 more goals before the break, HT 6-1. However, a great response in the second half despite the home team adding a 7th. Romilly found Faith to score. Shields then once again found the top corner from outside the area. Despite the girls playing to the final whistle, South Shields march into the final. Players: Faith, Coaches: Layken.
U8 Eagles v Darlington RA
First league game at home in some time, thanks to away fixtures and weather. It took the Eagles a few minutes to get going which gave the opposition an early 2 goal lead. However, the boys soon woke up and started playing really well. By half time the game had turned around with the Eagles leading. The game ended with a resounding victory for the Eagles with a great all round display from the boys.
U10 Girls v Washington Lionesses
A great win for the girls, as they showed great build up play, passing their way up the pitch. Poppy H managed to break through the Washington defence to score the opener. Poppy H wins a corner which was then played high into the box where Amelia volleyed it into the back of the net. HT 2-0. Second half, Poppy B put a long throw into the box, a quick reaction from Amelia who slid in to score. Then another corner from Poppy H to Emily C to score. Washington were pushing and finally managed to get through our defence and grabbed a goal. However, Poppy B scored twice near the end for an emphatic win. FT 6-1. POTM: Amelia.
U13 Boys 2 v Kader 1
Aycliffe took the lead through a devilish cross by Josh, which was turned into their own net by a Kader defender. Posi’s shot across the keeper was initially saved, but Zak slotted in the rebound. HT 2-0.
Kader ramped up the pressure in the second half. Despite conceding with 2 minutes remaining, the lads saw it out for an impressive win against the League Runners-Up. Josh & Elliott MOMs.
