Cullercoats FC Development Group - Latest News

Len Renham (club secretary) represented the development group at a pre-planned meeting with North Tyneside Council at The Quadrant, Wallsend, on Friday 27th May 2011. The meeting was instigated by the council following the conclusion of the club’s six week local community consultation programme, undertaken in partnership with Northumbria University (Sports Science Division).
 
A development group letter was submitted at the meeting indicating the club’s intention to progress to a formal appeal process, supported with information from the local consultation. This relates to the council’s refusal to grant an extended lease for the Links Avenue site in 2010.
 
The meeting was very positive, with the following outcomes:
 
·         Further development of the senior pitch will be discussed at a site visit on Tuesday 31st May 2011 – includes seeding, rolling and spiking to improve quality of surface
·         Survey of the changing facility with a view to establishing requirements for Football Foundation funding for new build, in line with current regulations and club requirements
·         Agreement that the council will progress the issuing of a 25 year lease (in the short term) to Cullercoats Football Club
 
Other short term club requirements were discussed and progressed.
 
These developments represent significant progress for the club and real promise for the year ahead. On behalf of the development group I wish to commend Len for his sterling work in progressing the interests of the club at this meeting.
 
A further ‘latest news’ bulletin will follow during the summer.
 
Best Wishes,
 
 
Gary Stephenson
Development Officer / Level 2 FA Coach

CULLERCOATS 1 - 3 KYPC

A poor start to the first half cost the Under 11s a chance to progress in this years cup tournament.    Despite dominating the first 10 minutes cullercoats fell behind when a weak shot slipped underneath Tony Blacklock to give KYPC the lead with their first attack.   Cullercoats again had more of the ball but forwards Josh Irwin, Luke Monaghan and Charlie James left their shooting boots at home and the under 11s paid the price again when KYPC scored with just their second attack of the match as Tony failed to deal with a comfortable catch and spilled the ball in front of a thankful Killie forward.   2-0 down at Half time it was hoped the under 11s would come out fighting with a new formation but they soon shot themselves in the foot again with more poor defending from a corner allowing the ball to drop inside the box and a killingworth forward stabbing the ball home for a 3-0 lead.   Charlie James wasted a good chance to get cullercoats back in the game when it seemed easier to score he somehow dragged his shot wide before the previously ineffective Luke Monaghan stabbed home a goal to give the under 11s some hope.  There was no way back though as the under 11s could not get their act together late in the game and despite KYPC failing to get out of their own half for much of the second half they defended well as cullercoats remained frustrated.  
Ultimatley a hugely disappointing result as big things were expected given the fact that the under 11s had beaten KYPC twice in recent weeks
