Cullercoats v Forest Hall
30/10/09 19:23 Filed in: Match Reports
League Leaders Forest Hall ended Cullercoats unbeaten start to the season in fortunate circumstances at the Amberley Playing fields
With a 3-2-1 formation in operation it was Cullercoats who started the better and took the lead midway through the first half when skipper Oliver Young picked out a pass to Steven Taylor who made a superb overlapping run from Right back to fire Cullercoats into the lead.
Cullercoats were denied a 2nd just before half time when the referee disallowed a Luke Monaghan goal. Monaghan simply used his body strength to outmuscle to Forest hall defender and round the keeper for what would have been goal no 15 of the season. The young referee was the only person to see a fowl and ruled it out and this clearly had an effect on Cullercoats for the rest of the first half.
Only some heroic defending from David Shipley kept Forest Hall at bay following a succession of corner Kicks, Shipley was on the end of almost every dangerous ball to head clear.
Gaps started to appear in the Cullercoats defence in the 2nd half when Shipley was withdrawn for his rest period and Forest Hall inevitably equalised when a tame cross found its way to an unmarked forward who sneaked the ball past Tony Blacklock
Josh Irwin almost scored his first goal for the side when his long range effort was almost dropped into the net by the Forest Hall keeper. A good spell of football from Cullercoats midfielders Charlie Barbrook and Oliver Young resulted in a penalty being awarded when a Forest Hall defender deliberatley handled a goalbound efffort. However Skipper Young blazed the spotkick high over the bar and again cullercoats confidence took a dent resulting in more pressure from Forest Hall.
The Reds stole the points late in the match with another good finish late on. After the referee failed to spot a clear fowl on Shipley the ball fell kindly to a reds striker who made no mistake.
Cullercoats can think themselves unfortunate not to get anything out of the game but must learn not to dwell on their misfortunes in future matches.
MOM: David Shipley

U8s - Match Report (24/10/09 Forest Hall)
29/10/09 13:00 Filed in: Match Reports
Cullercoats faced their stiffest test so far in the KYPC 'friendly' Under 8s League against the undefeated Forest Hall, who defeated the hosts, KYPC Galaxy last weekend, to maintain their 100% record.
The first half was played at a quick tempo by two evenly matched sides, with Forest Hall having the advantage of a fairly strong wind.
Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) provided a solid back line in front of the in-form Daniel Henderson (keeper), who was excellent throughout the first half.
Matty Sharp (central midfield) bossed the midfield battle through the central areas, assisted by Benjamin Hall and Finan Peach (midfield), whilst Connor Sherriff (striker and captain for the day) ran the line up front to excellent effect.
Forest Hall took the lead mid way through the half, scoring direct from a left wing corner, which was wind-assisted.
The game opened up in the second half, with Cullercoats making a strong start. Matty Sharp continued to dominate the midfield battle and Connor Sherriff caused all sorts of problems for the Forest Hall defence with his pace and strength.
Cullercoats forced the play and equalised from a left wing throw-in by Benjamin Hall, which evaded the defence in the area and, with pressure from Connor Sherriff, was forced in from close range.
The game then became very open, with Ethan Ayre (midfield) replacing Finan Peach on the right. Connor Sherriff continued to cause havoc for the Forest Hall defence and Matty Sharp continued to control the midfield battle with Benjamin Hall.
Matty Sharp hit the post with a shot from the left side of the box and minutes later Benjamin Hall almost went clear with a strong run into the box, which resulted in his shot being blocked.
Forest Hall also created a couple of good chances in the final minutes, but they were denied by Daniel Henderson, who was immaculate throughout the second half. He was also assisted by Jack Stronach, Ryan Norris and Matty Sharp, who all made good clearances to protect their goal area.
The match ended 1-1, with Cullercoats being the first team to take points off Forest Hall this season. The game was played in very good spirit throughout and both teams were congratulted by the coaches.
Finan Peach and Ethan Ayre were jointly awarded 'man of the match' for their disciplined performances on the right side of midfield.

U10s - Match Report (17/10/09 - Forest Hall Blues)
19/10/09 17:24 Filed in: Match Reports
Cullercoats 3 Forest Hall Blues 1
Cullercoats under 10s maintained their unbeaten start to the league season with a hard fought win over Forest Hall Blues
In perfect footballing conditions with no wind and soft ground Cullercoats looked sluggish early on and perhaps suffered from having no match last weekend. Cullercoats just shaded the early exchanges but couldnt make their possession count in midfield and struggled to keep the ball under control at times. Charlie James looked most likely to cause danger in the forest hall defence early on but it was his replacement Luke Monaghan who opened the scoring midway through the first half with a fine finish that took a slight deflection to deceive the blues keeper.
With a tendency to sit too deep the cullercoats defence invited pressure from the blues but managed to hold onto their lead thanks to some fine defending from David Shipley and sound handling from Keeper Tony Blacklock.
With the blues dominating the opening exhanges of the second half a change in formation was forced upon Cullercoats who found it neccessary to replace a striker (Charlie James) with a midfielder Charlie Barbrook. This tactic paid dividends when Barbrook fired in his first goal of the season following some excellent play down the left flank to put the seasiders in control at 2-0 up.
Charlie James then replaced Luke Monaghan up front and shortly afterwards scored the goal of the match to kill off the blues. Collecting a fine pass from Lewis Williamson, James cut inside from the byeline and somehow managed to find the top corner of the net from a seemingly impossible angle.
David Shipley almost added to the tally but his fine long range effort struck the outside of the post before the Blues scored a late consolation with the last kick of the game as their centre forward outpaced the previously faultless Cullercoats Skipper Oliver Young.
Having played a game less than their main rivals cullercoats find themselves in 6th Position in the table having won two and drawn two of their four league fixtures to date.

U8s - Match Report (17/10/09 - Wallsend Community)
19/10/09 14:08 Filed in: Match Reports
Cullercoats came flying out of the blocks, as they have done in most games this season, with Connor Sherriff (striker) scoring the first goal inside 5 mins. His shot from outside the box on the right was an instinctive reaction as the ball was cleared by the defender. It flew into the net, as the pace surprised the keeper.
Matty Sharp (central midfield) added the second, with a powerful drive from outside the box, as Cullercoats dominated midfield.
Wallsend pulled a goal back when their striker was left unmarked inside the box. The finish was excellent, as the player struck his shot in off the the post beyond the outstretched Daniel Henderson (keeper), who was captain for the game.
Daniel Henderson, with Jack Stronach and Daniel Brewis (defence) were very solid at the back and prevented any further opportunities for the opposition.
Cullercoats responded by continuing to control the play through the middle. Benjamin Hall and Ethan Ayre (midfield) were full of running and created space and opportunities
throughout the first half. Finan Peach (substitute midfielder) also slotted in well on the right and made several good passes to create space.
The third goal came when Connor Sheriff was fouled inside the box. Matty Sharp converted the penalty with a super strike into the top of the net.
Cullercoats continued to press and Benjamin Hall broke free beside the right corner flag. He ran towards the box and hit an excellent left foot shot into the corner of the goal to put his team 4-1 up at the break.
The second half continued in the same way, with Cullercoats dominating the midfield battle, whilst being solid at the back.
Benjamin Hall scored the fifth goal (his second) direct from a right wing corner, as the ball evaded the defence and keeper.
Cullercoats maintained the pressure and Matty Sharp hit an unstoppable shot from outside the box on the left, which flew over the outstretched keeper for his hat-trick. The game ended 6-1 to Cullercoats.
Matty Sharp was awarded 'man of the match' for his efforts in midfield, coupled with an excellent hat-trick and the captain, Daniel Henderson, took away the birthday wishes !!

U8s - Match Report (10/10/09 - Longbenton Juniors)
15/10/09 16:02 Filed in: Match Reports
The U8s returned to winning ways this weekend against Longbenton Juniors, after suffering their first defeat of the season last week against the host club, KYPC.
As usual Cullercoats came flying out of the blocks and had all the early pressure, which resulted in a goal after 5 mins, scored by Matty Sharp (central midfield), after excellent approach play down the left by Benjamin Sharp (midfield).
Longbenton played their way back into the game, which was even during the rest of the first half. Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) played well infront of the ever reliable Daniel Henderson (keeper), whose handling was very good.
The equaliser came towards the end of the first half with an excellent finish by Longbenton, despite strong defending through the middle by the midfield trio, including Ethan Ayre, who was full of running throughout. Connor Sherriff (striker) worked tirelessly up front, with several strong surges towards goal.
In the second half, Fin Peach (midfield) replaced Ethan Ayre for his first game for Cullercoats. He slotted into the right side and played well throughout the second half.
Longbenton took control of midfield in the latter stages and created several chances from corner kicks, which were well defended by Cullercoats. Daniel Brewis also made his debut, replacing Ryan Norris in defence. He made several excellent clearances alonside Jack Stronach and Daniel Henderson also made a couple of fine saves to keep his team in the game.
Cullercoats broke free down the left with Benjamin Hall, with the last attack of the game and he found Connor Sherriff with an excellent pass. Connor broke clear on the left side of the opposition box and struck an excellent low drive into the left hand corner of the goal, which evaded the keeper's outstretched dive to win the match.
The result was cruel on Longbenton, but meant that Cullercoats returned to winning ways, with their third victory in four matches.
Benjamin Hall was awarded 'man of the match' by the coaches for his excellent running and passing throughout the game, including setting up the winning goal.

U8s - Match Report (3/10/09 - KYPC Galaxy)
07/10/09 13:03 Filed in: Match Reports
The U8s played their third competitive 'friendly' league game at KYPC against the host team, KYPC Galaxy, who provided the strongest challenge to date.
The game was very competitive from the start, with KYPC very strong in the challenge and full of running. Cullercoats held their own in a very even first half, which ended 0-0. Daniel Henderson (keeper) was in excellent form, with Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) also providing excellent cover at the back.
In the second half the game opened up and Benjamin Hall (midfield) pushed forward at every opportunity to support Connor Sherriff (striker). Matty Sharp (central midfield) fought hard to control the midfield battles and Ethan Ayre (midfield) was also full of running and energy throughout. Bayley Whenray (substitute midfielder) came off the bench for Ethan Ayre and also played his part in a fiercely competitive second half.
KYPC scored the opening goal midway through the second half on the break and added a second in similar circumstances, as Cullercoats pressed for what would have been a well deserved equaliser. However, despite going close on several occasions through Benjamin Hall and Matty Sharp, Cullercoats could not convert their chances and the game ended 2-0.
Daniel Henderson was awarded 'man of the match' by the coaches for another solid performance in goal. However, the whole team played well throughout and the coaches and parents / family were very proud of them.
Special Note - In the opening game (19/9/09 - Burradon U8s) we reported that the third goal was scored by Connor Sherriff, when infact it was converted by Benjamin Hall. Apologies to both players.
