The youngest boys and girls, at Newton Aycliffe Football Club, came together over Christmas, for the annual 5-a-side Football Festival. Boys aged 4-7 years old from our little Eagles Development Section and girls aged 5-8 years old from the Wildcats Development Section competed in teams at the Oakleaf Sports Complex.

As the enthusiastic crowd encouraged all the players, the skill level on show confirmed that the future of the football club is bright and secure. These girls and boys will go on to play for the club in their own leagues along with our current 15 boys and 5 girls’ teams. Both boys and girls sections have availability and welcome new players of all abilities to come along and participate in football. Ring 07939 045242 for details.
