The Under 8s continued their impressive post-Christmas run on Saturday 26th March 2011, against local neighbours Tynemouth United at KYPC in the ‘friendly’ league.
The game got off to a flying start with Connor Sherriff (striker, capt.) giving them an early lead with a quality finish, after excellent work through midfield from Harvey Thompson, Elliot Anderson and Jack Tatum, who all played their part in taking control of the central areas.
At the back Daniel Brewis (keeper), Leighton Alexander and Ryan Norris (defence) all made excellent to keep a lively Tynemouth side at bay.
Connor Sherriff was in unstoppable form in front of goal and quickly added a second, before Harvey Thompson turned in the third at the far post after great work in the middle by Elliot Anderson. At that stage the Under 8s were in complete control. However, Tynemouth continued to press forward whenever they retrieved possession and made a good competitive game of it.
However, in his best half of football in a Cullercoats shirt, Connor Sherriff continued to cause mayhem in the Tynemouth half and added three further first half goals. The third was a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the box and he also hit crossbar and post before the half time whistle. Elliot Anderson set up several goals and also got onto the score sheet himself in a half which ended 7-1.
The Tynemouth goal was also a superb strike from a free kick on the right which was struck with pace into the top of the net.
Evan Howard and Joseph Hornby (midfield) also came on as first half substitutes, together with Jack Reid (defence) and all three played their part in an excellent team performance.
The second half was well fought by both teams and Leighton Alexander (moving into midfield) added the eighth goal with an excellent turn and first time shot, before Tynemouth scored a consolation goal towards the end making a final score of 8-2.
Jack Reid was excellent throughout at the back and was awarded ‘man of the match’ for his performance in the second half when he made a number of great challenges and clearances to protect his own box area.
The whole squad were congratulated for a superb performance, the first half of which was quite spectacular for their age.
P.S. Training returns to Links Avenue, Cullercoats on Thursday 31st March 2011, starting at 6pm as usual. The sessions will continue to finish at approx. 7pm. Please note that we have three weekday fixtures on Monday evenings in April / May. Further details will follow, but you can access information on the KYPC website.

Under 9s v longbenton
A great desire from the kick off to attack longbenton in search of a goal. Some great passing in the midfield between Jack Stronach, Mathew Sharp and Kieron Smith trying to feed lone striker James Branning which resulted in alot of corners but due to the muddy goalmouth it was always going to be difficult to score. Cullercoats were awarded a penalty for a hand ball which was tucked away by birthday boy James Branning. Longbenton equilised not long after and the half finished 1-1. Second half started in the same fashion as the first with cullercoats asking all of the questions. With some fresh legs on it was only a matter of time before the lead was restored via Ben Hall who grabbed two goals to make it 3-1. Jack Stronach scored a fourth from an accute angle. Some brave goalkeeping by Scott Mckie kept the score in cullercoats favour. Mathew Sharp pushed up from defense to add another goal making it 5-1. Cullercoats kept pushing for more goals with Kieron Smith pulling the strings in midfield picking out some great passes and through balls. The game finished 5-1 and it was a great team effort with some great football played Kieron Smith was awarded man of the match. The coaches went home very happy and proud well done lads,
Chris.

Under 11s Match Report
CULLERCOATS 3 WHITLEY BAY BOYS CLUB 1
Monaghan 1
James 1
Shipley 1
The under 11s returned to winning ways against Local Rivals Whitley Bay. With both teams locked on 22 league points and the last 3 league fixtures all ending in draws another close encounter was anticipated. With Influential Midfielders Aaron Dixon and Steven Taylor on the injured list, cullercoats adopted a new tactic and looked to catch their opponents on the break from Long balls with David Shipley coming into midfield from left back. Indeed it was thanks to a fierce Shipley shot midway through the first half that Cullercoats took the lead as the Whitley Bay keeper could only parry the ball into the Path of Luke Monaghan. Whitley soon levelled with an unstoppable free kick after Joe Logan had hauled down a tricky forward on the edge of the Box. With the Halftime Score at 1-1 Cullercoats began to take control of the game and an Excellent defence splitting pass from Lewis Williamson found Charlie James who made no mistake when through one on one with the Keeper to put Cullercoats ahead. Whitley began to dominate for a while in search of an equaliser but the central defensive pairing of Oliver Young and Reece Ackinclose continues to get stronger by the week as Whitley rarely threatened Tony Blacklock. David Shipley wrapped things up with 10 mins on the clock when his long clearance from the Halfway line was dropped into the Net by the unfortunate Keeper.

Cullercoats FC Under 8s - Match Report (5/3/11 v Whitley Bay Boys Club Rovers)
The Under 8s returned to ‘friendly’ league action in February 2011, after a lengthy lay off due to snow covered and then waterlogged pitches at KYPC. They enjoyed back to back wins against Forest Hall Reds (5-0) and Tynemouth United (5-0), before taking on Whitley Bay BC Rovers on Saturday (5/3/11).
The Under 8s started slowly with some sloppy passes in the first 10 mins, before their game kicked into life with two excellent first half goals by Elliot Anderson (central midfield). Connor Sherriff (right midfield / striker and captain) also went close with a terrific shot which struck the post, whilst Jack Reid (striker) also had a close range chance to stretch the lead.
Ryan Norris and Joseph Hornby (defence) were strong at the back, whilst Daniel Brewis (keeper) had little to do in the first half. Harvey Thompson and Jack Tatum (midfield) also played their part in securing the first half advantage.
In the second half the team took control of the central areas and increased their lead through Jack Tatum who hit an excellent shot into the top corner after a strong run down the right. He then added his second, a stunning strike, to seal the match, before a further strike by Elliot Anderson made it 5-0 with his hat-trick.
Whitley Bay scored a consolation goal after the ball broke free inside the box, before Connor Sherriff rapped things up with a good finish inside the box to make it 6-1.
Jack Tatum was awarded ‘man of the match’ by the coaches for his excellent runs and strikes. However, it was a real squad performance which provided the third straight win for the team, which takes them joint fourth with Forest Hall Blues, just one point behind Tynemouth United.

Under 11s Match Report
Cramlington 3 - 2 Cullercoats
The under 11s produced an excellent team display and were unfortunate to end up on the losing side against 2nd Placed Cramlington. The home side took the lead on 10 minutes when Cullercoats failed to defend a corner at the near post. Cullercoats began to take a grip on the game and equalised before half time thanks to a charlie james strike. James put in his best performance to date in a cullercoats shirt and turned provider in the second half when he held the ball up well and played a great pass through to Luke monaghan who finished with his left foot. Cramlington as expected played with two tricky wingers but were unable to get them into the game as much thanks to some excellent defending from Cullercoats fullbacks Jack Ashworth and Joe Logan. Cramlington again scored from a corner that was whipped in bell and headed beyond Tony Blacklock. Just as the Match looked to be heading for a fair result, Cramlington snatched a fortnuate winner when the previously faultless Tony Blacklock let comfortable catch slip from his grasp and was cruelly punished. Cullercoats can be very pleased with their play today as they are starting to adapt well to the counter attacking style of play but will need to work a little harder on defending corners.

Match Report - Cullercoats Under 8s v Longbenton Under 8s (19/3/11)
The Under 8s maintained their 100% winning record in 2011 in the KYPC ‘friendly’ league on Saturday afternoon, with another impressive and powerful display against Longbenton Under 8s at Killingworth.
Connor Sherriff (striker, capt.) opened the scoring after a bright start. The midfield trio of Harvey Thompson, Elliot Anderson and Jack Tatum took control of the central areas, with Elliot Anderson causing havoc through the middle of the Longbenton defence. All three midfielders got onto the score sheet with excellent finishes as the Under 8s stormed into a 4-0 lead.
Ryan Norris and Jack Reid (defenders) were strong at the back and prevented any meaningful chances, whilst Leighton Alexander (defender) stepped in as emergency keeper in the first half, due to Daniel Brewis (keeper) feeling under the weather.
Joseph Hornby and Evan Howard (midfield) came on to bolster midfield, with Evan making his debut match for the team. Both made immediate impacts and Jack Tatum stretched the first half lead with another well taken goal to make it 5-0 at half time.
Daniel Brewis went in goal in the second half, despite being unwell; such is his commitment and dedication to the team.
The second half continued in similar fashion, with the Under 8s making most of the running. However, Longbenton dug in and defended well, with some excellent saves from a first class keeper.
However, Elliot Anderson returned to central midfield and added his second goal of the match to make it 6-0 at the end.
The team played some excellent football in a an all-round team performance. Elliot Anderson was awarded ‘man of the match’ for his superb display in central midfield where he linked play and chipped in with two super goals.
This was the fourth win in a row, which places the Under 8s in contention at the top end of the friendly league. They play Tynemouth Under 8s next weekend, with the chance to leap-frog their local rivals in a derby match.
Please note that the club presentation night is being held at Percy Park Rugby Club in North Shields on 21st or 28th May 2011. Details to follow.
From Thursday 31st March 2011, training will revert to Links Avenue, Cullercoats (home ground) at the same time (6pm – 7pm). Players will have immediate access to toilet facilities and hot and cold drinks and snacks will be available on sale at the clubhouse.
