The Auckland and District EBAC Youth LEague League is looking for new U18 teams to join the league for next season.

Ferryhill Athletic have joined the league, taking the place of Darlington Spraire Lads who have dropped out because they have nobody to run an U18 side. Potential new teams should contact league secretary Bob Farms on (01388) 818192.

Newton Aycliffe were the winners of the Oughton Carriers good conduct award, with Darlington Spraire Lads as runners-up. In 20 league and league cup games Aycliffe had no cautions or dismissals while Spraire Lads had just one player booked.

The league has paid tribute to Barrie Landers of Haswell FC who died at the start of the season.

l Billingham Synthonia JFC are celebrating winning the Teesside Football Junior Alliance's U16's Team of the League trophy.

And four of the squad have been picked to play for the Great Britain Schools team who will be competing at an International tournament in France this summer.

The team had a phenomenal season with the U13s finishing the season undefeated with 13 wins and a draw.

The U16s capped their season with a victory in the North Riding Cup as well winning the Durham Cup Final.
