Under 12s Match Report

Seaton Delavel 1 Cullercoats 6 (under 12)
Charlie 2, Luke 2, Josh, Steven


Charlie B stepped in as Captain and inspired a superb cullercoats win away to Seaton Delavel. A Make shift team was assembled with regular centre backs Oliver and Reece both missing but the lads that stepped in did excellent jobs. Charlie opened the scoring with a fantastic strike on the half volley following up on a rebounded effort from Tony. Josh was causing problems all afternoon down the right flank and he turned provider for the second goal with a great through ball which was finished well by Luke. Luke repayed the compliment shortly after when he squared the ball accross the delavel keeper and laid on an easy finish for Josh at the far post. At the start of the second half Charlie scored a goal almost identical to his first with another fierce drive from outside the area. Goal number four came from another great through ball this time from David who found Luke in space and the prolific hitman made no mistake in one of the most simple goals you will ever see. Cullercoats still werent finished and finally converted one of their many corners when Aarons fine delivery was turned in at the near post by Steven. The home side managed a late consolation from the penalty spot after Josh lost concentration in the box and clearly handled. Overall an excellent performance from a team missing some key players and it was really good to see the lads put into practice some of the things we had been working on in training, in particuar through balls which resulted in three of the goals. Also fitness levels seem to have improved as despite only 1 sub the lads kept performing well right until the final whistle.
