Under 10s were at Thornaby for a Cup game and lost 2-0 but certainly were unlucky. Fantastic effort from the boys – just wish they could get the win they so deserve. MOTM: Finley Bradon. Second game saw a complete change of team and they produced a fantastic game of football – it was exciting end to end stuff with Thornaby edging ahead with two good goals. Aycliffe reacted superbly and came back strong hitting the post several times making thier goalie pull off some great saves and eventually Harry (J) Smith powered in a fantastic shot to make it 2-1. Eventually beaten by the whistle! Fantastic performance boys. MOTM: Matthew Mitchell.
The Under 11 Girls’ were in fine form with two high scoring wins against St Cuthberts’ Amazines then Velocity Devils. There was plenty of opportunities for the more defensive players to push forward. Final score against St Cuthberts’ 11-0 Hattie 5, Olivia 2, Alex 2, Kate 2. Next up the Devils, playing as a team we looked like scoring every time we got into the opposition half, the defence looked composed taking a touch and finding a team mate everytime. Again, the opportunity to play girls in different positions, saw the goals flow. FT 11-0 Kate 5, Hattie 4, Olivia 1, Ocean Tia 1.
Two tough games at a misty Peterlee for the Under 10 Girls against Washington and Durham Cestria respectively, both ending in 0-5 losses
There will be easier days than this but the girls all played with spirit and a smile.
