RFYL Boys U7 Red Division:

South Shields FC Vs. Darlington FC

Goalscorers: Jace (2)

RFYL Boys U9 Premier Division:

Foundation of Light FC Vs. Darlington FC

Goalscorers: Finley Childs (2)

Team Coach Sam Pascoe said; "In extremely cold and rainy weather conditions the boys dominated the game but lacked a cutting edge in front of goal. Despite this, the boys were in cruise control winning the game 2-0 before letting in a sloppy goal with 5 minutes to go.

Goalscorers: Luca (3) & Tom

POTM: George Theakston

Team Coach Richie Allen said; "What a result from the boys to progress though to the semi final, one game away from a final at St George’s Park. Against a team who beat us 3-1 at the start of the season, the boys put a shift in a worked there socks off and we had the upper hand throughout in what was a very tough game".

Goalscorers: Alex Carter (2) & Jesse Nelson

POTM: Jesse Nelson

The football we played in and out possession was excellent resulting in some well worked goals today. Charlie Reay made a great save from a softly awarded penalty. Another win for this talented group of boys and still yet to lose a game this season".

TJFA U16 League Cup:

Darlington FC 2-1 Richmond Town FC

Goalscorers: Owen Bailes & Harvey Carrick

Team Coach Grant Cuthbertson said; "Good performance from everyone today in what was poor conditions. Today saw us play against a higher division team in the League Cup. We dominated from the start and new signing Owen Bailes got his first goal for Darlington. We should of put the ball in the back of the net more in the first half but for a fantastic display from the Richmond Town keeper making it remain 1-0. Harvey Carrick came on as a substitute and not long after made it 2-0. The visitors pulled one back and not long after we gave a penalty away and Liam Mason pulled off a brilliant save to keep it at 2-1".
