Aycliffe U14 Angels 2 v Hetton Juniors 2 (4-3 penalties)
The girls travelled to Sunderland for their Durham County Cup Final. An incredible day of football from two very good sides. The first half saw Hetton on top and they nearly scored on the stroke of half time but it went in, 0-0. Then, in the 50th minute, Hetton took the lead and, to make matters worse, they doubled their lead with ten minutes remaining. However, a goal from Romilly and a final minute leveller from a Charli free kick and it was into penalties. The girls kept cool, and dispatched their penalties, to win the Cup. Unbelievable performance from this group of girls.
South Tyneside 0 v Aycliffe U15 Eagles 5
Full of confidence from recent results the lads played some excellent football as a team. Passing and pressing was a pleasure to watch and every player gave 100%. A well-deserved win to take the 3 points. Goals Albie x 2, Kian, Adam and Noah. MOM Kian and Albie.
Aycliffe U14 Girls 4 v Consett Pumas 3
A physical match against improving opposition. Another assist from Pippa for Ava M to finish brilliantly. A powerful free kick from Amy Miller put us ahead. A third before half time when a Holly free kick played in Ebony to slot home. Final goal was a second from Ava M to score at the near post, a goal all of her own making. POTM Ana Manders.
Aycliffe U11 Eagles v South Shields
Both teams had a similar approach to the game, which led to a very good game of football, some fantastic passing and playing, what we consider to be, our style of football helped us to be dangerous around the opposition box. We finally got the breakthrough midway through the first half, but despite all of our good play and chances created we couldn’t add the second, but did keep a clean sheet.
Aycliffe U11 Girls v Deerness
Another great win for the girls, keeping them undefeated in the league. The team started strong with Phoebe and Amelia getting early goals, then ten minutes later Amelia got a second. The defence held their position at the back with Grace showing a lot of strength, but Deerness managed to get one back. Lily responded quickly to this, reacting to a loose ball in the box to finish, HT 4-1. A lot of changes in the second half to allow the girls to play in different positions, Phoebe and Poppy managed to get goals from outside the box and Emily C managing to curl a ball round the keeper. Last up was Amelia to complete her hat trick. FT 8-1. MOTM goes to Emily C.
Wrekenton Nou Camp 1 v Aycliffe U12 Wildcats 3
Aycliffe went 1-0 up when Mia turned their defence and drove a great shot into the top corner. Mia scored again when Olivia did a quick throw to Mia, she placed her shot across the keeper into the far corner. Wrekenton scored to pull back to 2-1 and just before half time another Olivia quick throw saw Phoebe race onto it and hit a beauty into the top corner. They had a late penalty saved by Sofia.
Aycliffe U8 Wildcats v Hetton Juniors
Hetton were quick to win the ball back and scored three early goals. Aycliffe didn’t give up and played much better in the second half.
Normanby United v Aycliffe U10 Wildcats
The girls were 1-0 down within the first minute and a good second goal from Normanby left Aycliffe with a lot to do. But, the girls kept their belief and got rewarded with a quick goal back to make it 2-1. Soph made it 2-2 just before half time. The girls got the winner they deserved in the second half, Erin assisting Soph to get her hat trick. Great performance from the girls to end the season on a high!
Aycliffe U9 Eagles v Prissick Rovers
Final game of the season on a wet morning, but that didn’t stop the boys putting in what was probably their best performance to date. Prissick scored two early goals, but the Eagles grew into the game and pulled one back. The second half was pretty much one way traffic and Aycliffe scored an equaliser. The boys deserved the win, but can be happy with the performance and the result.
Kader 4 v Aycliffe U17 Girls 1
Kader’s opening salvo was a big shot that bounced off both posts and then saved by Aycliffe’s keeper from the floor. A second effort proved successful to go one up. However, a determined Mia Glasper forced an error by their keeper to level the score at 1-1. Suddenly they weren’t as vocal. However, Kader picked it up to go in 3-1 at half time. A determined effort in the second half meant Kader only added one more.
