The U8s were back in action on Saturday 12/12/09 against the top team, Forest Hall Blues, having earned an excellent draw against them earlier in the season.
The first half was very competitive, with both teams fighting for control of midfield, where Matty Sharp (captain), Benjamin Hall and Ethan Ayre played their part in competing for the upper hand. Matty Sharp was particularly strong throughout the first half, winning most balls in the air.
In defence, Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris were in good form, preventing any clear cut opportunities for the opposition.
Connor Sherriff (striker) ran the front line with lots of pace and tackling, as Cullercoats sought to unsettle the Forst Hall defence. Several players had chances to open the scoring for Cullercoats, but were unable to convert them.
The leaders were first to strike after a lack of concentration by Cullercoats from a thrown-in on the right, which evaded two defenders and deflected of the unfortunate Ethan Ayre past Daniel Henderson (keeper). The first half ended 1-0.
In the second half Forest Hall took the upper-hand with some good passing and positional play. This resulted in an eight minute spell, where they scored three quick goals, as Cullercoats failed to defend their line.
Benjamin Hall pulled back a goal in the last ten minutes with a strong run and finish inside the box. This led to a period of sustained pressure by Cullercoats for the remainder of the match, which ended 4-1 to Forest Hall.
Ryan Norris was awarded 'man of the match' for his consistent display at the back, where he held his position and made a number of good clearances.
The team have one remaining fixture before the Christmas break (weather permitting), against Wallsend Community.

U8s - Match Report (07/11/09 Burradon U8s)
The U8s started their second round of matches against Burradon U8s, who they beat 3-0 in their first match in September. They made a slow start and Burradon made the early play, creating some good chances in the first 10 mins.
Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) were called on to make some important challenges in a difficult first half. Daniel Henderson (keeper) was also called into action on several occasions, making good saves and providing safe hands at the back.
Burradon took the lead with an excellent strike into the top right hand corner of the net and this sparked Cullercoats into action, with Matty Sharp (central midfield (captain)) making several strong challenges and runs into the opposing half.
Benjamin Hall and Fin Peach (midfield) also played their part in taking control of the central area of the pitch and Connor Sherriff (striker) made several strong runs and sent in some long range shots to test the Burradon keeper. Benjamin Hall also went close with a close range effort from the right side of the box, which whistled past the left hand post.
At half time Cullercoats re-organised and forced the play after the break. They created numerous chances from open play and corners in the second half. Matty Sharp, Benjamin Hall and Connor Sherriff all went close with shots, which also struck the post and cross bar.
Daniel Brewis (defence) and Ethan Ayre (midfield) came on as second half substitutes and played their part in a much improved second half performance.
Despite having all the play, Cullercoats could not find a way through and even an excellent shot from distance by Jack Stronach past inches wide of the top right hand angle of the goal.
Matty Sharp also had a penalty saved in the second half, in a match which ended 1-0 to Burradon. It was hard luck on Cullercoats who completely dominated the play in the second half.
On this occasion the team learned important lessons about the need to retain and pass the ball to create space and opportunities, which is all part of the process in developing as footballers and a team !!

U9s - Match Report (31/10/09 KYPC Rockets)
KYPC Rockets dominated the first half and took a 3-0 lead into the half time interval which was deserved. The second half was a different story, and Cullercoats found their momentum and bossed the second half.

They continued the pressure but were unable to add to the score line due to good defensive play from KYPC Rockets.
U8s - Match Report (KYPC 14/11/09 and Longbenton 21/11/09)
Cullercoats U8s played their eagerly awaited re-match against hosts, KYPC, last weekend in another fiercely contested match. The first half was very even and both sides cancelled each other out in midfield, where Matty Sharp, Benjamin Hall and Finan Peach all played well.
At the back Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) and Dan Henderson (keeper) were all very solid.
Connor Sherriff provided the outlet up front and made several excellent runs, testing the home keeper on two occasions, as KYPC were put on the back foot.
The second half started in the same way, with both teams fully committed in the tackle. KYPC took the initiative when their striker broke free on the edge of the box and hit an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the net. Dan Henderson got an excellent hand to the shot, but the power took the ball over the line. Dan's brave keeping resulted in him receiving a hand injury, but he continued in support of his team.
Daniel Brewis (defence) and Ethan Ayre (midfield) came on to provide good support to the team. Both also made excellent clearances when KYPC attacked on the break.
Cullercoats took control of the remainder of the second half and created a string of chances. Jack Stronach was in excellent form at the back and also made a number of surging runs in support of the attack. He was fouled on several occasions, but picked himself up to create further problems for the hosts.
Cullercoats were awarded a late second half penalty for a foul in the box and Matty Sharp's excellent penalty into the right side of the goal was palmed away by an equally excellent save by the keeper. The game finished 1-0, which was extremely harsh on a Cullercoats team who were dominant throughout the second half; a view shared by both managers.
Jack Stronach was awarded #man of the match' for his excellent display at the back, coupled with great work and commitment going forward, despite some very questionable fouls by the hosts.
This was a first class display by the whole team.
Longbenton - 21/11/09
The U8s were in action against a strong Longbenton side at the weekend in the KYPC 'Friendly' League.
The first half was dominated by Cullercoats who created a number of good opportunities through Benjamin Hall, Matty Sharp (midfield) and Connor Sherriff (striker). However, they fell behind inside the first 10 mins. when a throw in caught the defence and keeper flat-footed.
Cullercoats responded well to the setback, with Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) pushing Longbenton back into their own half for long periods, as Cullercoats took control of the game. Dan Henderson (keeper) also played his part in keeping things tight at the back.
Ethan Ayre (midfield) provided support in attack and was full of running on the right and Benjamin Hall caused all sorts of problems for the opposition with several strong runs through midfield.
The first half ended with Cullercoats somehow 1-0 behind and the team were given a half time lift by the coaches.
The second half was dominated for long periods by Cullercoats, with Matty Sharp and Connor Sherriff going very close with excellent efforts, which were saved by an in-form Longbenton keeper. Finan Peach replaced Ethan Ayre in midfield and provided a good outlet on the right, whilst Daniel Brewis came on during the half in defence to marshall the Longbenton striker.
Benjamin Hall made the break-through midway through the half with an excellent right foot shot into the top right corner of the net from wide on the left side of the box.
This triggered a sustained period of pressure by Cullercoats, as they went looking for the winning goal. Despite some great runs and shots, the opposing keeper kept them out with some fine saves and parries. The game, which was played in very good spirit throughout, ended 1-1.
Benjamin Hall was awarded 'man of the match' for an excellent performance throughout the game. His best display for Cullercoats to date.

U10s - Match Report (21/11/09 New Fordley)
Cullercoats 2 - 2 New Fordley
Cullercoats dominated the opening period but after a succession of missed chances they only had a David Shipley goal to show for their efforts. Centre Back shipley notched his 4th Goal of the season as he yet again managed to score direct from a corner just before the interval.
New fordley came out the stronger side in the second half and caused problems for the Cullercoats defence. The equaliser came early in the second period when the referees controversialy judged that Lewis Williamson had fouled the Fordley Striker. Cullercoats failed to set up a wall for the resulting free kick which looked far to far away from goal to cause any danger, however the Fordley centre half cracked in an almost unbeleivable strike from Distance to give Tony Blacklock no chance.
Luke Monaghan soon restored Cullercoats advantage when he kept his cool when through on goal to notch his 15th Goal of the season. However it was New Fordley who had the final say in matters when Cullercoats failed to clear a corner and the ball fell to a striker who clipped the ball high into the net.
Overall a fair result but Cullercoats can again think themselves unfortunate not to snatch victory.

U8s - Match Report (31/10/09 Tynemouth Yellows)
The game kicked off in brilliant sunshine before a large and expectant crowd. Cullercoats started very slowly and Tynemouth were much the better side in the opening exchanges and rightfully went a goal ahead when a break down their left wing saw them take the lead with a low powerful shot from inside the box.
Slowly Cullercoats came back into the game and they were grateful for some good defending from Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris, coupled with some fine goalkeeping from their ever reliable goalkeeper, Daniel Henderson.
Chances were appearing at both ends with the game being an open attacking game of football and the midfield trio of Ethan Ayre (captain), Matty Sharp and Benjamin Hall working tirelessly against a good Tynemouth team. Connor Sherriff looked a threat throughout and came close on a couple of occasions with long range efforts that flew narrowly wide.
Benjamin Hall also had a good effort which struck the woodwork with their goalkeeper beaten. A change before the interval saw Daniel Brewis come on for Ryan Norris in defence but the first half came to an end with Tynemouth still leading by the solitary goal.
A much livelier Cullercoats team came out for the second half and they continued to press for an equaliser with Connor Sherriff again going close on a couple of occasions. Ryan Norris replaced the hard working captain, Ethan Ayre, as Cullercoats searched for the equaliser. Daniel Henderson again pulled off a fine save to keep his team in the game.
With only 5 minutes remaining Cullercoats still trailed and a tactical change saw Daniel Brewis and Ryan Norris keeping things tight at the back, allowing Jack Stronach to surge forward. Cullercoats kept pressing their opponents with Matty Sharp and Connor Sherriff both looking a threat.
With only 2 minutes remaining Cullercoats got their rewards when a right wing attack saw Connor Sherriff go past 2 defenders before passing to Matty Sharp who drilled the ball home into the bottom corner.A thoroughly entertaining game between two evenly matched sides finished level. A very good second half performance earning a 1-1 draw after a lack- lustre start.
Matty Sharp was awarded 'man of the match', but there were also strong second half performances from Benjamin Hall and Connor Sherriff.

U10s - Match Report (31/10/09 KYPC Ajax)
Cullercoats 0 - KYPC Ajax 5
Cullercoats were scared into submission against High Fliers KYPC Ajax on Halloween. As in their earlier Cup encounter Cullercoats could not handle the pace of the KYPC midfield and some fine wing play and finishing from the Ajax Side ultimatley proved the difference.
Luke Monaghan could have put the seasiders into an early lead when he was sent racing clear with only the keeper to beat, however Cullercoats main striker seemed have to much time on his hands to think about his finish and ultimatley his shot was easily saved by the impressive Ajax Keeper.
Ajax didnt look back from this point and took the lead when a right wing cross wasnt dealt with in the cullercoats defence and was turned in by the left winger who reacted before Steven Taylor to fire home past stand in Cullercoats Keeper Oliver Young.
Cullercoats heads began to drop and they conceded a further two goals before half time by giving the ball away too cheaply in midfield and failing to close down the Ajax Strikers.
Cullercoats couldnt be faulted for effort in the 2nd Half and Luke Monaghan (twice) and Josh Irwin almost managed to pull goals back but were denied by the Ajax keeper again.
KYPC scored another two fine goals midway through the 2nd half to kill off Cullercoats chances.
Ulitmatley Cullercoats were beaten by a better team on the day but they need to have more self belief if they are to rise to challenges such as this in future

Cullercoats v Forest Hall
League Leaders Forest Hall ended Cullercoats unbeaten start to the season in fortunate circumstances at the Amberley Playing fields
With a 3-2-1 formation in operation it was Cullercoats who started the better and took the lead midway through the first half when skipper Oliver Young picked out a pass to Steven Taylor who made a superb overlapping run from Right back to fire Cullercoats into the lead.
Cullercoats were denied a 2nd just before half time when the referee disallowed a Luke Monaghan goal. Monaghan simply used his body strength to outmuscle to Forest hall defender and round the keeper for what would have been goal no 15 of the season. The young referee was the only person to see a fowl and ruled it out and this clearly had an effect on Cullercoats for the rest of the first half.
Only some heroic defending from David Shipley kept Forest Hall at bay following a succession of corner Kicks, Shipley was on the end of almost every dangerous ball to head clear.
Gaps started to appear in the Cullercoats defence in the 2nd half when Shipley was withdrawn for his rest period and Forest Hall inevitably equalised when a tame cross found its way to an unmarked forward who sneaked the ball past Tony Blacklock
Josh Irwin almost scored his first goal for the side when his long range effort was almost dropped into the net by the Forest Hall keeper. A good spell of football from Cullercoats midfielders Charlie Barbrook and Oliver Young resulted in a penalty being awarded when a Forest Hall defender deliberatley handled a goalbound efffort. However Skipper Young blazed the spotkick high over the bar and again cullercoats confidence took a dent resulting in more pressure from Forest Hall.
The Reds stole the points late in the match with another good finish late on. After the referee failed to spot a clear fowl on Shipley the ball fell kindly to a reds striker who made no mistake.
Cullercoats can think themselves unfortunate not to get anything out of the game but must learn not to dwell on their misfortunes in future matches.

U8s - Match Report (24/10/09 Forest Hall)
Cullercoats faced their stiffest test so far in the KYPC 'friendly' Under 8s League against the undefeated Forest Hall, who defeated the hosts, KYPC Galaxy last weekend, to maintain their 100% record.
The first half was played at a quick tempo by two evenly matched sides, with Forest Hall having the advantage of a fairly strong wind.
Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) provided a solid back line in front of the in-form Daniel Henderson (keeper), who was excellent throughout the first half.
Matty Sharp (central midfield) bossed the midfield battle through the central areas, assisted by Benjamin Hall and Finan Peach (midfield), whilst Connor Sherriff (striker and captain for the day) ran the line up front to excellent effect.
Forest Hall took the lead mid way through the half, scoring direct from a left wing corner, which was wind-assisted.
The game opened up in the second half, with Cullercoats making a strong start. Matty Sharp continued to dominate the midfield battle and Connor Sherriff caused all sorts of problems for the Forest Hall defence with his pace and strength.
Cullercoats forced the play and equalised from a left wing throw-in by Benjamin Hall, which evaded the defence in the area and, with pressure from Connor Sherriff, was forced in from close range.
The game then became very open, with Ethan Ayre (midfield) replacing Finan Peach on the right. Connor Sherriff continued to cause havoc for the Forest Hall defence and Matty Sharp continued to control the midfield battle with Benjamin Hall.
Matty Sharp hit the post with a shot from the left side of the box and minutes later Benjamin Hall almost went clear with a strong run into the box, which resulted in his shot being blocked.
Forest Hall also created a couple of good chances in the final minutes, but they were denied by Daniel Henderson, who was immaculate throughout the second half. He was also assisted by Jack Stronach, Ryan Norris and Matty Sharp, who all made good clearances to protect their goal area.
The match ended 1-1, with Cullercoats being the first team to take points off Forest Hall this season. The game was played in very good spirit throughout and both teams were congratulted by the coaches.
Finan Peach and Ethan Ayre were jointly awarded 'man of the match' for their disciplined performances on the right side of midfield.
Gary & Graham
The first half was played at a quick tempo by two evenly matched sides, with Forest Hall having the advantage of a fairly strong wind.
Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) provided a solid back line in front of the in-form Daniel Henderson (keeper), who was excellent throughout the first half.
Matty Sharp (central midfield) bossed the midfield battle through the central areas, assisted by Benjamin Hall and Finan Peach (midfield), whilst Connor Sherriff (striker and captain for the day) ran the line up front to excellent effect.
Forest Hall took the lead mid way through the half, scoring direct from a left wing corner, which was wind-assisted.
The game opened up in the second half, with Cullercoats making a strong start. Matty Sharp continued to dominate the midfield battle and Connor Sherriff caused all sorts of problems for the Forest Hall defence with his pace and strength.

U10s - Match Report (17/10/09 - Forest Hall Blues)
Cullercoats 3 Forest Hall Blues 1
Cullercoats under 10s maintained their unbeaten start to the league season with a hard fought win over Forest Hall Blues
In perfect footballing conditions with no wind and soft ground Cullercoats looked sluggish early on and perhaps suffered from having no match last weekend. Cullercoats just shaded the early exchanges but couldnt make their possession count in midfield and struggled to keep the ball under control at times. Charlie James looked most likely to cause danger in the forest hall defence early on but it was his replacement Luke Monaghan who opened the scoring midway through the first half with a fine finish that took a slight deflection to deceive the blues keeper.
With a tendency to sit too deep the cullercoats defence invited pressure from the blues but managed to hold onto their lead thanks to some fine defending from David Shipley and sound handling from Keeper Tony Blacklock.
With the blues dominating the opening exhanges of the second half a change in formation was forced upon Cullercoats who found it neccessary to replace a striker (Charlie James) with a midfielder Charlie Barbrook. This tactic paid dividends when Barbrook fired in his first goal of the season following some excellent play down the left flank to put the seasiders in control at 2-0 up.
Charlie James then replaced Luke Monaghan up front and shortly afterwards scored the goal of the match to kill off the blues. Collecting a fine pass from Lewis Williamson, James cut inside from the byeline and somehow managed to find the top corner of the net from a seemingly impossible angle.
David Shipley almost added to the tally but his fine long range effort struck the outside of the post before the Blues scored a late consolation with the last kick of the game as their centre forward outpaced the previously faultless Cullercoats Skipper Oliver Young.
Having played a game less than their main rivals cullercoats find themselves in 6th Position in the table having won two and drawn two of their four league fixtures to date.

U8s - Match Report (17/10/09 - Wallsend Community)
Cullercoats came flying out of the blocks, as they have done in most games this season, with Connor Sherriff (striker) scoring the first goal inside 5 mins. His shot from outside the box on the right was an instinctive reaction as the ball was cleared by the defender. It flew into the net, as the pace surprised the keeper.
Matty Sharp (central midfield) added the second, with a powerful drive from outside the box, as Cullercoats dominated midfield.
Wallsend pulled a goal back when their striker was left unmarked inside the box. The finish was excellent, as the player struck his shot in off the the post beyond the outstretched Daniel Henderson (keeper), who was captain for the game.
Daniel Henderson, with Jack Stronach and Daniel Brewis (defence) were very solid at the back and prevented any further opportunities for the opposition.
Cullercoats responded by continuing to control the play through the middle. Benjamin Hall and Ethan Ayre (midfield) were full of running and created space and opportunities
throughout the first half. Finan Peach (substitute midfielder) also slotted in well on the right and made several good passes to create space.
The third goal came when Connor Sheriff was fouled inside the box. Matty Sharp converted the penalty with a super strike into the top of the net.
Cullercoats continued to press and Benjamin Hall broke free beside the right corner flag. He ran towards the box and hit an excellent left foot shot into the corner of the goal to put his team 4-1 up at the break.
The second half continued in the same way, with Cullercoats dominating the midfield battle, whilst being solid at the back.
Benjamin Hall scored the fifth goal (his second) direct from a right wing corner, as the ball evaded the defence and keeper.
Cullercoats maintained the pressure and Matty Sharp hit an unstoppable shot from outside the box on the left, which flew over the outstretched keeper for his hat-trick. The game ended 6-1 to Cullercoats.
Matty Sharp was awarded 'man of the match' for his efforts in midfield, coupled with an excellent hat-trick and the captain, Daniel Henderson, took away the birthday wishes !!

U8s - Match Report (10/10/09 - Longbenton Juniors)
The U8s returned to winning ways this weekend against Longbenton Juniors, after suffering their first defeat of the season last week against the host club, KYPC.
As usual Cullercoats came flying out of the blocks and had all the early pressure, which resulted in a goal after 5 mins, scored by Matty Sharp (central midfield), after excellent approach play down the left by Benjamin Sharp (midfield).
Longbenton played their way back into the game, which was even during the rest of the first half. Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) played well infront of the ever reliable Daniel Henderson (keeper), whose handling was very good.
The equaliser came towards the end of the first half with an excellent finish by Longbenton, despite strong defending through the middle by the midfield trio, including Ethan Ayre, who was full of running throughout. Connor Sherriff (striker) worked tirelessly up front, with several strong surges towards goal.
In the second half, Fin Peach (midfield) replaced Ethan Ayre for his first game for Cullercoats. He slotted into the right side and played well throughout the second half.
Longbenton took control of midfield in the latter stages and created several chances from corner kicks, which were well defended by Cullercoats. Daniel Brewis also made his debut, replacing Ryan Norris in defence. He made several excellent clearances alonside Jack Stronach and Daniel Henderson also made a couple of fine saves to keep his team in the game.
Cullercoats broke free down the left with Benjamin Hall, with the last attack of the game and he found Connor Sherriff with an excellent pass. Connor broke clear on the left side of the opposition box and struck an excellent low drive into the left hand corner of the goal, which evaded the keeper's outstretched dive to win the match.
The result was cruel on Longbenton, but meant that Cullercoats returned to winning ways, with their third victory in four matches.
Benjamin Hall was awarded 'man of the match' by the coaches for his excellent running and passing throughout the game, including setting up the winning goal.

U8s - Match Report (3/10/09 - KYPC Galaxy)
The U8s played their third competitive 'friendly' league game at KYPC against the host team, KYPC Galaxy, who provided the strongest challenge to date.
The game was very competitive from the start, with KYPC very strong in the challenge and full of running. Cullercoats held their own in a very even first half, which ended 0-0. Daniel Henderson (keeper) was in excellent form, with Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) also providing excellent cover at the back.
In the second half the game opened up and Benjamin Hall (midfield) pushed forward at every opportunity to support Connor Sherriff (striker). Matty Sharp (central midfield) fought hard to control the midfield battles and Ethan Ayre (midfield) was also full of running and energy throughout. Bayley Whenray (substitute midfielder) came off the bench for Ethan Ayre and also played his part in a fiercely competitive second half.
KYPC scored the opening goal midway through the second half on the break and added a second in similar circumstances, as Cullercoats pressed for what would have been a well deserved equaliser. However, despite going close on several occasions through Benjamin Hall and Matty Sharp, Cullercoats could not convert their chances and the game ended 2-0.
Daniel Henderson was awarded 'man of the match' by the coaches for another solid performance in goal. However, the whole team played well throughout and the coaches and parents / family were very proud of them.
Special Note - In the opening game (19/9/09 - Burradon U8s) we reported that the third goal was scored by Connor Sherriff, when infact it was converted by Benjamin Hall. Apologies to both players.

U8s - Match Report (26/9/09 - Tynemouth Blues)
The U8s played their second competitive 'friendly' league game at KYPC against Tynemouth Blues U8s on Saturday 26th September 2009. The team were looking to build upon their opening day 3-0 win last weekend.
Once again Cullercoats came flying out of the blocks and forced most of the first half play into the Tynemouth half. Matty Sharp (central midfield), was captain for the game and opened the scoring with an excellent right foot drive across the box, which beat the outstretched keeper.
Cullercoats created a number of goalscoring chances, but could not add the second before half time. The Tynemouth defence must take credit for that, with their defence being in excellent form.
At the other end Jack Stronach and Ryan Norris (defence) cleared up any danger and Daniel Henderson (keeper) made a couple of excellent saves to maintain his unbeaten record.
The second half started in similar fashion, with Connor Sherriff (striker) causing problems for the Tynemouth defence. On two occasions he broke through down the right and struck the post with excellent shots.
The second goal came mid way through the second half when Ben Hall (midfield) sent in an excellent left wing corner which Matty Sharp pounced on to claim his second goal.
Ethan Ayre (midfield) and Bayley Whenray (substitute striker) also played their part in an excellent game, which finished 2-0 to Cullercoats. Once again the game was played in good spirit and well refereed.
Matty Sharp was awarded 'man of the match' by the coaches, but it was a close call with several excellent performances, including another clean sheet for Daniel Henderson and an eye-catching performance by Connor Sherriff up front.
