Most of the Newton Aycliffe Junior teams are waiting for the coming weekend to commence their league seasons, however one team had an earlier start to competitive action.
The Under 10 Russell Foster League side have recently performed well in friendlies including an exciting fixture against Newcastle Academy. This had prepared them well for the re-start of the league season against Waldridge Park Glanton at Monkton Stadium. A strong squad took to the field with Herbie making his debut in goal, and outfield Oli, Chloe, Bronton, Taylor, Isaac, Matty, Evan, Sam, Bo & Ted were all involved. Newton Aycliffe raced into a 4-0 half time lead. Not easing up in the second half, Aycliffe secured a tremendous 11-1 victory – with Bo, Taylor & Sam netting one goal each, 2 from Evan and Hat-Tricks from Matty & Bronton. Chloe secured the players man of the match, with Matty taking the parents award. A great way to re-start this league campaign.
All our other teams look forward to beginning their TJFA league seasons in the coming week, and best of luck to all the players and coaches for the season ahead.
