With Aycliffe pitches resembling lakes all games this weekend were played at opposition or central venues.
U10 girls v Lumley, hailstones and sleet as the game started, Despite creating the early chances 2 long range shots from Lumley and somehow we were 0-2 at half time. Alysha had 2 good saves to keep us in the game.
The second half started brightly and within 5 mins Brooke raced through the opposition defence and hit the roof of the net 1-2. It was now all Aycliffe and again Brooke used her pace and found the net 2-2. The defence were looking comfortable then another long shot from Lumley hits the inside of the post and we were 2-3 down.Despite our best efforts FT 2-3
Under 16’s Eagles v Normanby Orange. The boys started really well, looked solid all through the side and within the first half we created a number of chances scoring twice and going in 2-0 at half time. This was the same position we were in last time we played them and they really came at us straight from the start of the second half and this time was no different. The boys stood strong and solid, defending well and creating a number of chances going forward with the FT score win 5-0 Nile Rutter 3, Daniel Hewitt and Danny Pickering.
Another good performance with everyone involved, a clean sheet and another 3 points
Under 10’s v Leven. On a very wet 3G pitch passing the ball was very unpredictable and it prevented the game from flowing.. Leven went ahead after about 2 minutes and were soon 5 nil up, We struggled on till half time and started the second half with an unchanged side. We conceeded another 4 but also got a couple back with a bit of endeavour and two super cool finishes from Matty J. Disappointing but the lads put in some effort, but just couldn’t cope with top of the league Leven. FT 2-9. MoM: Isaac
Under 8 Eagles v St Cuthbert’s another fine win for this young side with Will Houlahan scoring all four goals, quickly going 2-0 up from some excellent passing and movement. A few changes were made and St Cuthbert’s got back into the game but our heads didn’t go down and everyone battled hard to score another two goals.
Under 13 Eagles v Guisborough. The lads started really slowly and resulted in two first half goals conceded. Team talk was always about team work but Guisborough were quicker and scored again. Quick change of formation and the lads suddenly started playing. Two quick fire goals put us back in the game but Guisborough hit us on break to lead 4-2 but we came back fighting again and grabbed our 3rd but despite a great effort couldn’t find the equalizer FT 3-4.
U11 girls v Consett ,a bit of a disjointed slow start by the girls as Consett worked hard keeping our girls to long range shots. A corner was then driven into the box deflecting of a defender for an OG. That seemed to kick start the game, as space was being found, the goals followed. Alex and then Kate made it HT 3-0.
The second half was all Aycliffe, Alex completed her hat trick and Hattie stepped up a gear and cruised to her hat-trick. FT 8-0 Again the strikers grab the headlines but everyone plays their part every week.
