Consett Firehawks 0 Darlington Youth 9

Squad: Lewis Johnston, Sam Pocock, Josh Bell, Tom Ord, Jermaine Ruddick, Spencer McCabe, Jack Harland, Archie Bruce, Ben Jackson, Kieron Sheldon and Harvey Nichol.

The Darlington lads soon got into the swing of it moving the ball steadily up the pitch. Three narrow misses and two corners later the dead-lock was broken by a Spencer McCabe corner and central defender Archie Bruce headed it into the net, 1-0.

Several chances passed from Ben Jackson, Jack Harland, Spencer McCabe and Jermaine Ruddick all coming close but no second goal. Then the pace was stepped-up with Spencer McCabe breaking through the defence twice to put in two well taken goals.

Consett again came out on the attack passing well down the pitch, but Lewis Johnston came out to collect the ball very comfortably. Kieron Sheldon had a shot saved and for the next 5-10 minutes the ball was played around just inside the Consett half. Jermain Ruddick broke free on the left to make it 4-0. Archie Bruce made a brilliant pass from the half way line out to the right for Spencer McCabe to lob the keeper in style, 5-0. Every attack was getting broke down by the defence line of Sam Pocock, Josh Bell, Archie Bruce and Harvey Nichol with Tom Ord and Ben Jackson commanding in the centre. Archie Bruce sprayed another great ball across the field for Spencer McCabe to score his 4th and made it 6-0. Harvey Nichol ran from left back into the box to get a very well deserved goal for the incredibly hard working lad.

Jack Harland popped up with another goal near the end to make it 8-0, Jack struggled through the game with an injury and played on as we didn't have any subs, huge thank you Jack.

There was no luck for the Consett lads as unfortunately putting the final goal into their own net.
