Heighington u8’s played well against a strong Middleton rangers side and were unlucky to lose 2-1 with heighingtons goal from Jordon McBride
Under 12’s game saw Heighington take on Div 5 champions with only one defeat under their belt.
Heighington knew this was going to be a tough game but came out full of confidence, Heighington started off well playing some fantastic football with Heighington having their fair share of possession.
They had pressed a few times but Darlington had stopped them, until Heighington found a way through with a neat ball from Cameron Brassell, picking out Daniel Pouton who took it in his stride, taking it past the defender and putting the ball in the back of the net. 1-0
Darlington soon picked up the pace and with some good football pulled it back to 1-1. Heighington weren’t happy with this so they stepped it up a gear, this time the assist came from the goal scorer Daniel Pouton, placing the ball in the path of Jacob Richardson who with some amazing football beat a few players in the box to then hammer home Heighington’s second 2-1.
Darlington then pulled back two within quick succession 2-3.
Heighington played some fantastic football with the midfield linking up well, leaving Tyler Kilburn-Robinson with the ball at his feet travelling a good 15/20 yards with a fantastic left footed strike, seeing the ball glide into the right hand side of the net, Heighington had pulled it back to 3-3, what a game.
Darlington stepped it up a few gears leaving Heighington shattered and struggling to keep up.
Darlington scored a few more very good goals with the game ending 3-8 to Darlington Youth.
