Cullercoats battled through to the 2nd round of the East Division cup with an entertaining win over a well organised Wallsend side.
Luke started the scoring after ten minutes when he latched onto a forward ball from oliver and his cross/shot deceived the wallsend keeper.
Wallsends forwards were causing Cullercoats problems with their pace and they managed a deserved equaliser soon after when a Tony spilled a speculative long range effort 1-1.
Luke soon restored Cullercoats lead when he scored from close range following excellent work on the left from Charlie J.
Again Wallsend hit back before half time when one of their midfielders stole into the box unmarked.
Oliver went off injured soon after as cullercoats had to reorganise at Half time with Lewis dropping into centre back to cover for the skipper.
The midfield trio of Charlie B, Steven and Ethan were instructed to get tighter to their men in the second half and win more tackles and they duly obliged as Cullercoats started to take control .
Josh used his pace on the left to latch onto a great ball from Joe to pus us back in front at 3-2 early in the second half.
Again Wallsend didn't give up and managed an equaliser on 40 minutes when Lewis was outpaced and Tony came rushing out of his goal only to fail to get a good clearance as the Wallsend forward stroked into an empty net.
Again Cullercoats showed great Character and Charlie James scored a blinder on 45 minutes from outside the area to restore our lead at 4-3.
Jack was having a good game at right back despite letting himself down on occasions with his attitude but he did manage a great goal line clearance to keep us in front at this stage.
A controversial goal from Josh late on wrapped up the points as he finished from another through ball from Charlie J after the referee had pulled rank on his linesman who hadn't been keeping up with play.
5-3 was an excellent result today against a decent Wallsend team and the lads battled well second half with many players being asked to play out of position at times.
