Round up - 07/02/2016

Girls teams
Another excellent performance from the U10 Honeys as they beat St Cuthberts 6-2. Great passing and moving from the outfield players, along with an excellent goalkeeping performance from Amber. Hard work and effort was rewarded against a much improved St Cuthbert's side.Goal Scorers - Demi 3,Grace,Hannah & Rachel. GOTG – Demi.

The U12 Honeys played their first game for 6 weeks on a boggy pitch at Hebburn and went down 3-1 to Whitburn Panthers. Hebburn had only nine players available and started brightly, scoring first. Whitburn equalised and then took the lead with a superb goal, with their number 10 out pacing the defence. In the second half, as Hebburn pressed for an equaliser, Whitburn broke away to score a third. Goal Scorer and GOTG – Sophie Hollis


Dissapointing result for the U14 Honeys this week as we lost in the cup against a very strong,physical and organised Durham & Cestria team. Early chances were missed and proved costly.For 2nd time this season a dubious penalty was awarded. Rachel Abdo made a great save but couldnt prevent the follow up. As a result we went in to half time 1 down. 5 goals were scored in 2nd half without reply which wasnt helped by an injury to Chloe Ireland. Coaches & Opponents GOTG – Rachel Abdo, Parents GOTG – Chloe Ireland

Blues barcas extra year proved the difference but the game was competitive and lively with both teams playing some great stuff. Both teams played 6 aside to ensure no subs and the game was played in a fantastic spirit . Well done to all the lads

U8s
Juniors Madrid had a full squad out as they took on HFC Utd Blues. Despite falling behind early on the boys were able to turn things round in the first half and ended going in to half time 3-2 ahead. An early 2nd half equaliser for HFC did not deter the boys and they upped the tempo of their performance, eventually running out 7-3 victors. Great determination was shown by all and it was fantastic to see the goals coming from 5 different scorers.

Derby day for Gold’s Barca on Saturday as they faced Jarrow Vikings FC in the league, the team were down to 6 players.The game was tight with both teams providing opportunities but Barca quickly went 2-0 down and were then on the back foot. Half-time team talk was about determination and enjoyment and expressing themselves, BOOM straight out of the blocks it was a different team and they quickly pulled one back 2-1. The team started to play flowing football that made the opposition think. The boys created chances but they just couldn’t put them in the onion bag, after dominating for a long period the sucker punch came when a good move from Jarrow ended in their 3rd goal. Gold’s Barca continued to work hard to pull it back but time ran out. Really proud of the boys attitude and determination and for creating some superb chances, they developed and learnt a lot from the game. Well done boys

On Saturday Gold Madrid played Humbledon, Madrid started the game fast scoring early on to take the lead, which saw Humbledon coaches not so pleased, with constant instruction from the side line and pressure Humbledon took the lead, Madrid played some great football, hitting the post several time, chance after chance but to no avail Madrid couldn't increase their goal tally. Humbledon having a permanent goal keeper was the difference who repeatedly kept Madrid at bay. Madrid were unable to get back into the game despite the constant attempt at goal.

Blues Madrid were up against a very strong & we'll organised Farringdon Detached team, From KO we were under a lot of pressure but some great saves & excellent defending we stayed in the game.
A half time team talk gave the boys belief & what a 2nd half performance it was, an unbelievable team effort. The game ended 0-0 but felt like a win. The best team performance of the season.

On Saturday Blues Barca played against a very determined FOL Reds team who worked very hard and closed us down very quickly. FOL Reds took a 2-1 lead but we soon equalised to take a draw into the break with two goals from Marc Forster in the first half. A great chipped free kick from Alex Douglas gave us the lead in the second and some great skill from Harry Richardson down the wing who took on three players before crossing for Nathan Salkeld who calmly placed the ball into the bottom corner with a one touch finish which got the lads some breathing space. FOL Reds pulled another goal back and after a nail biting last few minutes the ref blew to give the lads a well-deserved 4-3 win.

On Sunday Blues Barca took on Newcastle Benfield in a game that would decide both Teams future. The loser would move down the tiering order and the winner would play for the top division title in the next league. Benfield were very hard working and very physical, they pressured the lads a great deal and it became a scrappy affair at times. The lads took the lead 1st but Benfield soon got back into it and went on to take the lead. This game was another nail biter but as soon as Hebburn got the ball down and passed it they soon started to dominate and got the lead back. At 4-2 up the lads looked comfortable but a hit and hope lobbed our keeper to ensure the last few minutes was a back to the walls affair. The lads held out and fully deserved their win proving that they can work just as hard as anyone else as well as use their skills and passing to great effect.

U14s
It was another Hebburn derby, this time in the Durham FA Premier Division as the Juniors played the Blues. Both teams started the game with 11 fit players and a semi fit sub. The Juniors deservedly took a 2-0 lead into the closing stages of game, despite missing a lot of chances and the Blues keeper having a 'stormer'. Things went from bad to worse for the Blues who finished the game with 9 fit players. The Juniors managed to come away 5-0 winners and stay top of the league.

In division one the Golds maintained a good run of form with a comfortable win 9-1 against Brandon Reds. The lads dominated the game from early in the first half.

In the RF Premier division the Hornets put in a great performance away to Hetton Juniors on what can only be described as 'farmers field' pitch. Injury meant 2 of the lads had to volunteer for a half each in goal...well done Rob and Lindan, The lads never looked like conceding and tried to play football. Great determination ensured a 4-0 win.
