 | N&SA Junior Match Reports 28 April 2008 | | 10:35am Thu 1 May 08 | | Norton & Stockton Ancients Under 15's secured their 4th 1st Division title in 5 seasons with an emphatic 9-2 victory over a game Kader side. NASA were clearly up for this game scoring 4 times in the first 20 minutes through Allison, Livingstone, Turner and Nicholson when leading scorer Livingstone added a fifth just before half time the game was over. NASA keeper Andy Martin had to go off following a typically brave challenge and Kader scored the goal of the night with a screaming 30 yarder. The irrepressible Allison made it 6-1 and after a scrambled second for Kader, Tom Booth returned to show his quality and make it 7-2, an Adam Todd classic run and crashing shot and a good individual effort from Christian Carson made it 9-2. |
| N&SA Junior Match Reports 14 April 2008 | | 12:21pm Monday 14th April 2008 | | Norton U13 Girls were overpowered by a superb Cestrian Girls team. Despite a bright first 10 minutes, once Cestrian scored there was no way back. There were some good individual performances from Basnett and Saunders for Norton. Norton were given a lesson in passing and moving by a strong and determined Cestrian Girls side. It seemed that every mistake made by Norton in their 18-yard box, was ruthlessly punished, by some very clinical finishing. Norton continued to work hard, but without any reward, half chances for Thomas and Naisbitt were not converted. Norton were 6-0 down at the break, and unfortunately started slowly and found themselves 8-0 down with still another 30mins to play. However, some deeper reserves were found, and Norton fought their way back into the match, creating several chances, but unfortunately they were not able to take any of them. Things could have been much worse for Norton if it was not for a fine display in goal from Saunders. Basnett in the midfield was tireless. Cestrian Girls vs Norton 0 - 10. A real lesson for Norton, from which, hopefully, they will learn. |
 | N&SA Junior Match Reports 7 April 2008 | | 6:17am Sat 12 Apr 08 | | In an exciting and even game Norton U13's deservedly won the County Cup. Both teams were well matched and but for the post, skipper Max Craggs could have given the Norton boys the lead after great work by Gardiner, Cattermole, Woodhouse and McCullough, Redby took the lead but a penalty restored things after Cattermole was brought down. Max Craggs sending the keeper for the chips with a great penalty. Stevie G Gardiner and Nathan Lowe were pulling the strings and with Hallet and Roth awesome at the back things looked good for the Amber Army. Gardiner hit the post with a rasping shot but nothing could separate the 2 sides. Then the dreaded penalties: Big Ben pulled off 2 great saves and the coolest man in the ground Tom Blakemore slotted his pen into the top corner for a fantastic win. | | Reader comment (1) |

| N&SA Junior Match Reports 11 March 2008 | | 8:51pm Sunday 16th March 2008 | | NASA U15 girls were not about to be overawed by the unbeaten league leaders Middlesbrough. Norton fielding a weakened side pushed Middlesbrough to the limit with excellent football. They had to be content with a 0-1 win the first game this season where they have scored less than four goals! Congratulations to all eleven of the Norton girls you were magnificent, but special mention must go to Norton stand in keeper Beth Rodgers who was immense. |

Norton U12 visited Redcar and where quick to adapt to the windy conditions taking an early lead when Connor Lowe slid in through a crowd to head home a Jonny Dye corner. Norton continued to press with chances going begging, Redcar where thwarted on the break by a fine save by Connor Wing and a goal line block by Matthew Dixon. With Sam Guest and Shane Hammond a constant danger down the wings, Norton scored a second through Connor Lowe and went 3-0 going into the interval when Joe Peel controlled well on the penalty spot and looped a overhead kick beyond the stranded keeper. Billy Savage replaced Connor Lowe and was unlucky to be ruled offside after good work by Joe Peel left a simple tap in .James Crinson replaced Joe Peel and quickly combined with Billy Savage to set up Sam Guest on the right to finish strongly beating the keeper at his near post. Billy Savage found space in the box after a good passing sequence to easily slot home the fifth to finish of comfortable winners against a hard working Redcar side. |
| N&SA Junior Match Reports 19 February 2008 | | 2:42pm Wednesday 20th February 2008 | | This top of the table clash was a bad tempered affair littered with yellow cards NASA U15's always looked more likely to win the game and tried to play football. NASA had several opportunities but Redcar's defence stood firm throughout, particularly with the amazing amount of corners NASA forced. It was one of few errors made by the Redcar defence which allowed Tom Hinchley to force the ball home from close range to secure the points. Ben Turner was outstanding for NASA and went close to
breaking the deadlock on several occasions. Final score 1-1. |
