The game of the week:
Darlington FC Youth U15s (Sponsored by VCARE24) vs Durham United
In a jaw-dropping display of resilience and determination, the lads fought back from a stunning 3-0 deficit to claim an exhilarating 7-4 victory, making it three wins from the last three games and securing another crucial three points! The team started strong, confidently controlling possession and looking firmly in charge—until a lapse in defense saw us down by three goals. But this squad doesn't know the meaning of giving up.
With early tactical shifts from the sidelines by the coaching team, fresh legs, and an unbreakable team spirit, the comeback was on! Goals flew in from all angles: Luca struck a pinpoint free kick; Shannon danced past defenders to toe-poke a beauty into the top corner; Oscar powered in a header off a set-piece; George smashed in two thunderous shots off the bar; and Charlie converted a rare goal straight from a corner.
Jack Parry was everywhere, earning Man of the Match honours as he relentlessly shut down their key midfielder, winning a thrilling duel and proving his class in possession.
With this sensational comeback, the lads are now eyeing six wins in a row. Three down, three to go—let's keep this momentum rolling!
