After a hard fought away match at Kingston Park losing 1-0 to a late winner, Cullercoats hoping to turn it around and make amends.
From the off Kingston Park press and shoot from 25yds, but well gathered by the keeper.
Yet again both teams battling well in midfield and cancelling each other out.
Kingston Park make break and a mistake by Cullercoats keeper gets him stranded and strike is cleared by a strong header from defence.
Cullercoats defence working well as a unit and a forcing Kingston Park to shoot from long distance.
Cullercoats get a lucky break, the through ball splits the defence and the shot is cleared for a corner to Cullercoats. The Kingston Park keeper rises and punches the cross clear only to land to Cullercoats and the shot is over the bar.
After 30 mins both teams even in score and effort.
Free kick to Cullercoats about 35 yds out. The ball is launched into the box but headed away by Kingston Park defence...
Half Time 0-0...
The 2nd half kicks off and both teams look as if they are ready to battle hard. Kingston Park take the initiative and cross the ball into the box, but nobody there to get a touch. Cullercoats pick up the ball and make a breakthrough on goal, but the shot is just wide.
Both teams continue on from the 1st half and most of the action takes place in the midfield.
Both Cullercoats and Kingston Park have few chances but nothing to trouble either keeper.
I don’t believe it 10 mins from the end and a shot catches the foot of a defender and slides past the outstretched hand of Cullercoats keeper.
Goal 0-1... Goal scored around the same time as the one conceded at the away match.
But rather than heads going down, Cullercoats start to press and make a few runs splitting the defence, but the finishes are not there.
Cullercoats press again and a ball is put out for a corner. The ball is floated in and looks goal bound, but just catches side netting.
Cullercoats launch the ball back into box and a scramble ensues and is cleared by Kingston Park.
Now its Kingston Park chance to press and a shot is just wide, followed by another Kingston Park attack and this time ball just over the bar.
Final Whistle 0-1
What a great effort by both teams and unfortunately Cullercoats coming away another defeat by a narrow margin.
Next week, home game against Prudhoe YC Blues .
