Two catch up matches in two days, we were certainly taking advantage of “better” weather – at least it wasn’t raining. Tynemouth played a very defensive formation having all their players in their own half whenever we had the ball. This gave Lewis P freedom to roam in the first quarter as an extra midfielder, which caused them problems as he took advantage of the space and crossed in long balls…
This was one of our catch up games and due to pitch availability at both North Shields and Blyth we both agreed to play this game on an artificial pitch at Complete Football. What an eye opener this was for the team. A small pitch, which was probably as long as our normal pitch is wide, and the team’s first time on astroturf led to an interesting game. Instructions to shoot at goal…
The U10s went into this game quite confident against a team who hadn’t won a game all season. However, I’m not sure if this confidence translated into nerves during the first quarter as this was fairly even until Besty got a goal near the end. However, the second quarter saw us take charge as Besty got another with Lewis P also getting one. At the restart from this goal, our…
After two weeks without a game due to the weather, we faced Ponteland away in the League Cup. We had previously met in the league and there had been nothing to seperate the two teams in a 0-0 draw. Today it would be extra time and penalties if it was undecided after normal time. Spartans were first to concede a goal in the first quarter, but Brooklyn pulled the scores level…
This was the second week in a row when when we played top of the table opposition and another team who had won every game so far this season. Reece was unavailable due to illness and Daniel through injury. This meant that in what was potentially our hardest game of the season so far, we only had on sub to use so the majority of the team would have to…
Another weekend of football came around and this week, we were away to Cramlington Juniors Whites – the only unbeaten Cramlington Juniors team at this age group, so this was always going to be a difficult game. After going down 2-0 at the end of the first quarter, we fought back with goals from Brooklyn and Besty to make it 2-2 at the end of the second quarter. This was…
A much improved team performance saw the U10s get back to winning ways, although there was yet again another tense last quarter. The teams looked evenly matched by the end of the first quarter with no goals scored but chances at both ends. Matthew Giloney in goal pulled off some great saves to prevent Bedlington from scoring, while at the other end our best chance fell to Lewis Best who fired…
Looking at the form book before this match, this was a game we were more than capable of winning. However, a below par performance saw us loing 4-2, with the Spartans goals from Brooklyn Holcz (his first in a green and white shirt) and Kieron Garrett. Lewis Best ran his socks off in midfield throughout the game and just couldn’t score, with even one of his team mates getting in…
After last weeks poor performance, this was a good solid team performance between two very closely matched sides. We had a shot cleared off the line that was millimetres from being over, hit the post twice and hit the bar as well as numerous near misses and saves. However, Ponteland also had a shot cleared off the line and hiit the post as well as near misses plus a great…
This was a game where the team as we know it did not turn out to play football today which resulted in this scoreline. We were second best at everything and gave Cramlington a very easy game. Having said that, their keeper pulled off at least half a dozen outstanding saves that could have made the score a lot closer.
