It was another busy weekend for our Junior teams. The club would like to say a massive thanks to all the players, managers, coaches and parents that took their time to pay their respect on this Remembrance Day weekend.
With lots of home and away teams taking part in a minutes silence and also wearing poppies and armbands. We are very proud of our young players for their respectful attitude. Lest we forget.
Under 7 Whites played against our local rivals Newton Aycliffe Youth however the result didn’t go their way. The boys didn’t start too well but finished the game with excellent fighting spirit, they are now starting to hold their positions better every week. Man of the match this week going to Oscar.
Under 7 Blacks had a very tough weekend with limited players however the boys put in massive effort and showed how they continue to work together as a team .Well done boys.
Under 8 Whites played a strong North East Tekkers side. It was a very cold morning however the juniors effort was fantastic and with only having 5 players they all came off at the end red faced and out of breath but the reward was worth it. 5 goals scored by leading goal scorer Jack and 1 excellent goal by Dan. Two man of the matches awarded this week, these went to Samuel and Jack.
