U12 CULLERCOATS 4 - 1 PONTELAND BARCA
A first half scoring spree from Charlie James was enough to give Cullercoats the points against a subdued ponteland side today. An excellent corner from Luke in the 3rd minute saw Charlie open his account with a flicked header before he added a second in similar circumstances following another corner this time from Oliver. Charlie completed his hattrick on 22 minutes after Davids shot was beaten out following another corner and Charlie tucked the ball home for 3-0. Luke Monaghan and Ethan Dickinson were causing problems for the Barca defenders but the usual prolific luke had left his shooting boots at home this time as he couldnt find the net. Substitutes Josh Urwin and Steven Turner combined on 25 minutes to put the game beyond doubt with Steven turning home his second goal of the season when following in Joshs long range shot. What followed was a hugely disappointing display from Cullercoats who forgot all about their teamwork ethic and they looked more like an under 8 team in search of individual glory. Despite being warned about this complacency at half time the lads continued to shoot from silly distances and tried to beat one defender too many when team mates were better positioned. As a result Barca looked the better team second half and scored a deserved consolation late on. On a positive note the lads did defend very well today but the forwards in particular need to learn to work together much more if we are to acheive success this season. MOM to Ethan for his best ever performance in a cullercoats shirt and his combination with Lewis Williamson and Jack Ashworth down the right worked very well all game.
