City of Durham

THE Under-9s Mosquitos were unable to hold on to a one-goal lead courtesy of Liam Robson when East Durham Houghall scored an equaliser in the last minute to share the points. In their next game Mosquito's were always struggling against Durham County Hays and ended the match 3 goals down without reply. Highlight of both games was the performance of goalkeeper David Leather.

The Under-9s Midges lost a close fought match to Easington Eagles 3-2. Goals from Corey Brennan and Craig Mountain brought the Midges back to level terms after being 2-0 behind at half time only to have the point snatched away with a late Easington goal. Man of the match was Corey Brennan.

In the second game against Chester Pumas, the Midges generated many chances but had to settle for a 0-0 draw. Man of the match: Connor Atkinson.

The Under-11s Wasps entertained Plains Farm in the League on Saturday and after conceding an early goal went on to lead 3-1 at half-time with goals from Micheal Cockburn ( 2 ) and Philip Walker. Plains Farm then fought back to draw 3-3 but a late goal from Philip Walker gave the Wasps a hard fought victory and meant that they leapt over their opponents in the League.

The Bees played very well against SAFC Girls and won comfortably with two goals from Martin Goodwill. The introduction of two new players to the squad has helped teamwork over recent weeks and they have been extremely unlucky in front of goal. This win will improve the confidence of the squad.

The 11 a-side squad were back to league action at the weekend against South Moor. Despite being without four of the squad they won 5-3 with goals from Joe Hughes ( 2 ) Michael Nicholson ( 2 ) and Liam Camsell. This win lifts the boys into second place in the League and they are looking forward to a tough game against another of the top sides Willington at the weekend.

The Under-12s City of Durham Panthers entertained Via Systems in a pulsating league match.

The score see-sawed with the Fast Cats taking the early lead through Andy Summers. This was added to by strikes from Johnny Leather and Joe Lawther, with Via Systems pulling one back before half-time. The visitors pulled another goal back after the break only for Andy Parkington to restore the two goal cushion. Via Systems responded with three quick goals to lead 5-4 but the Durham boys battled back and took a share of the points with a late Johnny Moralee goal.

In a close first half the Under-13s went ahead by two well taken goals by Seb Coady. Peterlee pulled one back just before half-time and equalised early in the second half. Durham responded magnificently playing some lovely passing football and powered ahead with three further goals from Seb Coady to run out 5-2 winners. Men of the match were Seb Coady, Michael Bough.
