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.
