Weekend: Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th June 2021
Under 8 Whites started strong against Shincliffe and went into half time leading. The hosts grabbed a leveller just into the second half. We then gave away an unlucky penalty so didn’t get the result today. A much improved performance from the boys.
MOM Oscar Clarkson.
U8s Blacks played Spraire Lads in a great contest. Regan scored a penalty but were pegged back level at HT. Second half was end to end, Aycliffe scored two quick goals through Fin and Regan’s great teamwork. Spraire pegged levelled again, but Regan restored the 2 goal cushion and they held on for a great result.
Regan x3 Fin C x1, MOM Finley, outstanding in goal.
U9 Blacks v Seaton Carew Lions – A tough game for the Blacks against a very good passing side. We never gave up and their commitment and effort was a credit to them. MOM went to Max who made some outstanding saves, and Mathis whose positioning, tackling / blocking in defence limited the goals conceded.
U11s V Billingham Whites. Highlights of the first half were a great save from Logan and a quality goal from Ethan. HT 5-1. Second half was much better with Jamie solid, Ethan and Alex linking well on the left and Keaton taking on the Billingham defenders. Despite attack after attack we couldn’t get back into it. Keaton scored another, FT 8-2. Ethan x1 Keaton x1, MOM Jamie.
U12 Whites played league leaders Norton and Stockton. A win today and Norton would be champions. They took the lead in the first half but Jack put Ethan through to level things up. Norton pressed on and finished 5-1 winners and champions. Aycliffe showed big improvement on our last meeting.
Daniel was MOM, excellent work rate.
U12s Blacks hosted Peterlee midweek and a great first half saw Jayden score a great header. Some great passing saw Cody grab a second. We were tiring and they grabbed one back, 2-1 HT. Second half and tired legs showed, allowing them in for the equaliser. FT 2-2. MOM Danny, well done! On Sunday we played Seaham away. Alex grabbed 2, then they came levelled to go in 1-2 HT. Second half straight out and they scored making it 2-2. Undeterred the Blacks stuck together playing some outstanding football. Leon scored two brilliant goals and fantastic assists saw Keaton get one too. Peterlee got one back. Great saves from the big man and it ended 6-3 to Aycliffe, well done boys!
U13s Whites played twice this week, losing narrowly to Spraire Lads 2-1. Tyler Smith scored the goal and Harvey was awarded MOM. On Sunday they hosted top of the league Boro Whites and played really well, and very unlucky to run out on the losing side 1-2. Brad scored the goal and Jack C was awarded MOM.
U14s continued their fine start to the season with a comfortable 8-0 win away to Billingham United. With goals from Tom, Sam, Reece, Jake, Dan and a hat trick from Trav.
U15s were away at league leaders Prudhoe Pumas and saw Aycliffe lose 7-0. Despite the score line, the performance was good from Aycliffe, with a good round of applause off the opposition’s parents for their attitude and commitment.
U16s played twice this week, midweek travelling to second placed Richmond, coming home with all 3 points in a great 2-4 win. Goals from Leon, Brennan, Jack and Georgie. Taking us a point behind them, in second, with two games in hand. Quality team performance. On Sunday we travelled to Seaton Carew looking to continue our good form. We dominated the first half but a slip let their forward in to go in 1-0 down at HT. Second half, we continued the great football and were rewarded through two quality team goals from Brennan and Lewis . . . a really hard fought, well-earned 3 points. Up to 2nd, 3 games left. Well done lads.
