The Under 8s were back in action this weekend against Whitley Bay Boys Club (Rovers) FC. They were seeking to get their third league win of the season in their sixth fixture.
As usual, the Under 8s made all the early running, with their midfield trio of Connor Sherriff (captain), Joseph Hornby and Harvey Thompson taking complete control through the middle. Jack Reid (striker) once again proved too hot to handle for the opposition defence and it was he who made the break-through in the first five minutes with a well taken interception and shot into the bottom corner of the net, after excellent running by Connor Sherriff, who ran through the WBBC defence at will.
Harvey Thompson and Joseph Hornby also netted with excellent shots from either side of the box to put the Under 8s into a 3-0 half time lead. Dylon Hedley (keeper) in his first full debut, Leighton Alexander and Ryan Norris (defence) all made sure of the first half clean sheet with fine displays.
Jack Tatum (midfield) and Daniel Brewis (defence) were both introduced in the second half and both made an immediate impact. Harvey Thompson netted his second and the team’s fourth with an excellent drive. At the other end Dylon Hedley made an outstanding one-handed save to maintain his clean sheet when a rare Tynemouth break resulted in a great effort towards the top corner of the net.
Connor Sherriff continued to run riot through the central and wide areas in midfield and he delivered an excellent cross from the right for Jack Reid to add his second goal. He then got his just rewards with an excellent driven goal from the edge of the box to make it 6-0, before adding his second goal direct from an excellent free kick into the bottom corner of the net to make it 7-0.
WBBC got a late consolation after a mix-up at the back, but the game was well and truly over by that stage. The match ended 7-1 to the Under 8s.
The whole squad played very well throughout and captain, Connor Sherriff was given special praise for his superb running and commitment throughout the game. However, the ‘man of the match’ award went to Dylon Hedley on his first full debut, after he made a top class save and looked the part, despite being a year younger than the opposition.
