A weekend off for the under 23’s so it was focus on the women on Sunday
Newton Aycliffe Women 3
v Seaham Coast 2
Aycliffe got back to winning ways but it was a hard fought victory due to the resilience of the opposition. First 10 minutes and Aycliffe had lots of the ball but against the run of play Seaham had a good shot that was cleared to the edge of the box then a second shot was saved well by Courtney but Seaham managed to scramble it over the line. Aycliffe went straight back on the attack, after a good passage of play Alex W played Annabelle in to score. Then a corner wasn’t cleared and Alex W pounced on the loose ball and smashed it into the corner.
Second half, Newton Aycliffe had plenty of the ball and looking for a third, they didn’t have to wait long, a quick counter attack and Alex S played a perfectly weighted ball for Morgan to run onto, she held off, her defender broke into the box and slotted the ball passed the keeper 3-1. Aycliffe now looking comfortable and pushing for more goals couldn’t quite find the final pass.
Seaham still in the game, were first to a loose clearance and shot from distance 3-2. The last 10 minutes were nervy but Aycliffe held on for the three points
Not our best performance but a win is a win.
