Under 12 s v Ponteland Barca

U12 CULLERCOATS 4 - 1 PONTELAND BARCA
A first half scoring spree from Charlie James was enough to give Cullercoats the points against a subdued ponteland side today. An excellent corner from Luke in the 3rd minute saw Charlie open his account with a flicked header before he added a second in similar circumstances following another corner this time from Oliver. Charlie completed his hattrick on 22 minutes after Davids shot was beaten out following another corner and Charlie tucked the ball home for 3-0. Luke Monaghan and Ethan Dickinson were causing problems for the Barca defenders but the usual prolific luke had left his shooting boots at home this time as he couldnt find the net. Substitutes Josh Urwin and Steven Turner combined on 25 minutes to put the game beyond doubt with Steven turning home his second goal of the season when following in Joshs long range shot. What followed was a hugely disappointing display from Cullercoats who forgot all about their teamwork ethic and they looked more like an under 8 team in search of individual glory. Despite being warned about this complacency at half time the lads continued to shoot from silly distances and tried to beat one defender too many when team mates were better positioned. As a result Barca looked the better team second half and scored a deserved consolation late on. On a positive note the lads did defend very well today but the forwards in particular need to learn to work together much more if we are to acheive success this season. MOM to Ethan for his best ever performance in a cullercoats shirt and his combination with Lewis Williamson and Jack Ashworth down the right worked very well all game.

CULLERCOATS U12 3 KILLINGWORTH 2
Cullercoats can count themselves somewhat fortunate to walk away with 3 points on a day when they didnt perform as well as they can. The first half was poor as KYPC dominated most of the play and Cullercoats seemed to struggle with the hard pitch and the heat (in october???). 0-0 was the halftime score as cullercoats defended well but their midfielders wanted too much time on the ball and were often too easily disposessed by a KYPC player. The second half started much better for the home side and they scored a good opening goal when Charlie James had a good effort well saved and the follow up was turned in by Steven Turner for his first goal for the team. Killingworth didnt take long to equalise as a difficult looping ball caused Nicholas all sorts of problems in the sun and his attempt to clear saw the ball drop at the feet of a red shirt. Josh was fouled soon afterwards in a dangerous position and Oliver Stepped up with a fine left footed free kick that gave the Killi Keeper no chance. Again the visitors didnt give up and seemed to snatch an equaliser with a minute on the clock as cullercoats defence seemed to be tiring. The lads showed great character however and scored again right at the death as Lewis just about managed to keep the ball in play down the right and played a fantastic ball through to Luke who kept his composure very well to slot in the winner.

CULLERCOATS 4 - 3 BLACK FYNE
Luke 3
Josh
Cullercoats had to work hard for a good win over newcomers Black Fyne. Luke started the scoring after just 3 minutes he followed up on Joshs excellent long range effort. Black Fyne were by now looking the better passing side and scored a deserved equaliser on 12 mins. Luke put cullercoats ahead when he capitalised on a mix up in the fyne defence to slot underneath a stranded keeper. Black Fyne again had cullercoats on the back foot and a succession of corners finally paid off when Cullercoats failed to defend the second ball. Luke nabbed his hattrick shortly before half time to send the home side ahead 3-2 at the break. Black Fyne were still looking the stronger side but it was an Error from Skipper oliver when his poorly taken goal kick was finished in clinical style. A tactical switch paid off for Cullercoats soon after when josh was switched to the left wing and he duly cut inside after some good work from Charlie and finished in lethal fashion. The away side put cullercoats under some immense pressure and only some good goalkeeping from Nicholas and outstanding battling from David, Steven and Lewis in midfield kept them at bay. Oliver later went off injured after a nasty collision with Reece but Cullercoats still held on for a hard earned win.

NEWCASTLE EAST END 3 - 2 CULLERCOATS
Oliver
Luke (pen)
Cullercoats fell behind early on as despite a lenghty team talk they failed to fight for the ball in the penalty area and conceded a soft goal. Cullercoats played the better football for the rest of the first half but conceded again towards half time as they were made to pay again for hesitation. Oliver pulled a goal back just after the break when Davids well take corner found the skipper unmarked at the near post and he somehow deflected the ball in. Jack unfortunatley restored the home sides two goal advantage when he turned in an own goal following a scramble in the 6 yeard box. Luke scored a fine penalty late in the game but Cullercoats couldnt find an equaliser. A much improved performance from the lads after last seasons 10-2 scoreline at the same venue and with players missing. Special mention for Oliver Symons who stepped up from the Under 11s and gave an outstanding performance in midfield.

U10's Whites v Wallsend BC Valencia

This was a great game from the first whistle, both teams were playing great football. The game was end to end with wallsend opening the scoring late in the first half. The whites had plenty of opportunities but couldn't get the ball in the goal. Second half was like the first in that both teams kept on playing good attacking football, wallsend scored 2 goals in quick succession but the whites never dropped their heads and kept going. The wallsend keeper made some great saves to keep the whites out. A late pen tucked away by Mathew Williamson gave the whites hope but time was against them. Great display by the whites who deserved more out of the game. Result whites1-wallsend3. M.O.M JACK PATTERSON

A great performance by everyone. Great defending in the1st half by Jack Stronach and Mathew Williamson also great attacking football going forward. Kieron Smith put some deadly corners in to the box which were begging to be put in the back of the net. At half time the whites were 2 goals to the good with Jack Tomaselli grabbing both. Second half was much the same with the whites playing down the flanks and causing all sorts of problems in the opposition area. Jack Tomaselli grabbed a 3rd to make it 3-0 but a dubious ref decision gave wallsend a penalty which was converted but the whites kept their heads up and pressed for more goals. End result was well deserved well done lads. M.O.M Kieron Smith
Under 9s v Forest Hall

A great start from cullercoats pressing from the off. Some good passing football being played throughout the team. Forest hall took the lead but cullercoats still kept going forward, Kieron smith got the ball over the goal line but the ref didn't give the goal. Forest hall got a dodgy penalty decision but justice was done when keeper Scott mckie saved the spot kick. Second half was much like the first with plenty of attacking football. Forest hall scored again to take the lead but cullercoats never say die attitude payed of when birthday boy Jack patterson got the equiliser. Great performance all round. Man of the match Jack Patterson
