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.
