The club were proud to be part of the FA silent weekend, leaving the children to play without influence from the side-lines and, as the Oakleaf was closed for the firework display, all our teams had to play their matches away. There were no fixtures for our women and U23’s as well as six of our junior teams.
Before our U14’s game they had a visit from Mark Preston who very kindly donated a portable defibrillator to the team. Mark has been working hard to raise money to be able to provide this potentially lifesaving piece of equipment to local sports teams and we are extremely grateful that we have been lucky enough to receive one. A massive thank you to him and his team of fundraisers. You are all doing a fantastic job, keep up the good work.

Great Ayton 2 v U16 Eagles (Eagles win on penalties) 2
A tough game away in the cup. It was a very physical first half with the Eagles going in at HT 2-0 up. Scorers: Tom and Noah. The second half saw The Eagles concede twice, taking the game into a penalty shootout. Stand in keeper Lewis converted the winning penalty for the Eagles win.
Whickham Fellside 0 v U18 Boys 0
Aycliffe dominated large spells of the game, playing some brilliant football in the process. However, they were unable to break down a resolute Whickham side.

Leven Whites 1 v U13 Eagles 2
In the first half Aycliffe created numerous chances, but couldn’t convert and it was Leven who took the lead into HT. The equaliser came courtesy of Oliver’s corner, with Edward heading home. With 5 minutes to go, Isaac’s free-kick from 25+ yards found the top-right corner, to complete the comeback.
Hartlepool St Francis 2 v U12 Eagles 7
A fantastic win for the boys today who dominated from the start. Players were asked to play in different positions and this worked well.

Goals: Imogen, Hannah, Lily and Peyton.
