West Auckland  v  SHILDON

Due to FA rules, we are unable to provide details of the result.

Man of the Match – Jack Leighton

The Shildon Under 8’s were away to West Auckland this Sunday. The game was always going to be a tough one. Shildon put the pressure on from the off, and gave West very little room to move. They passed the ball very well and had a number of shots at goal but unfortunately couldn’t find the back of the net.  As the second half got under way Shildon increased the pressure again, the quality of the football being played was outstanding. Jack Leighton managed to get Shildon onto the scoreboard with a cracking goal, a great present for his 8th birthday!  Jake Sharp in goal made a number of good saves.

Sedgefield Youth  v  SHILDON

Due to FA rules, we are unable to provide details of the result.

Shildon U9’s travelled to Sedgefield on Sunday with only 6 players. This however only fed their desire.  Every player was outstanding and played some great football throughout both games.  For much of the time the opposition couldn’t break out of their own half such was Shildon’s determination and team play.  Cole Layfield scored the Shildon goal.

The team was: Jamie Donohue, Ashley Jardine, James Douthwaite, Micheal Gaffney, Cole Layfield, Kian Dixon.

SHILDON  1  0  Darlington 21st All Stars

Scorers Kane Hopwood

On a very heavy muddy pitch, Shildon from the start tried to play passing football with some good coach work from defence to mid-field up to the forwards.  Having most of the play Ellie Geary was very unlucky with 2 good right foot shots that were well saved by the All Stars goalkeeper. As conditions worsened the away team defended well,at half time it was still 0-0.  At the start of the second half, Shildon had good passes and were unlucky several times not to score.  With 6mins remaining, again with good team passing, a through ball was pounced on by Kane Hopwood, who shot into the corner.

Good luck next week in the cup quarter final at Norton.

Brompton  5  3  SHILDON

Scorers  –  Adam Campbell (1), Tom Andelin (1) Blake Milner (1)

Man of the match – Chloe Geary

The U13’s travelled to Brompton with a depleted squad, but gave a great account for themselves.  Mid way through the first half Brompton took the lead when a wicked shot crept in through the legs of Chloe Geary.  A number of first half chances came Shildon’s way, but a combination of bad luck and good goalkeeping ensured Brompton went in the half time break one goal to the good.

The second half started with Brompton missing a couple of chances before Tom Andelin netted with a great left foot shot. Shildon had a couple of more chances to take the lead, but Brompton hit back with 3 good goals in quick succession.  In to the last 10 minutes, and Adam Campbell ran on to a through ball to reduce the arrears.  With Shildon now pushing for another goal, Brompton broke away and scored a fifth goal.  The heads never dropped though, and a great strike by Blake Milner reduced the arrears again.  There was still time for another attempt at the Brompton goal, but the keeper managed to clear his lines.

A really good squad performance with special mention to Chloe Geary who played well in goal and picked up the MOTM award.  The team have the chance to gain revenge with the return fixture next week at the scouts field.

Shildon played host to Darlington Spraire Lads, with both sides creating numerous chances.  Their all-round play is showing the good coaching they are receiving.  Jack Leighton was given the man of the match award, however it should be said that there were excellent performances by all the team.

SHILDON v Primrose Hill

Due to FA rules, we are unable to provide details of the result.

Shildon had their regular goalkeeper missing through illness, but Kian Dixon stepped in to produce a good performance.  The team battled well against a larger and more experienced squad, and played some good passing football.  This team is beginning to show what they are capable of and against larger and more experienced teams have coped manfully with the task and have for  long periods been the better team. The corner is turning. Well done lads and lasses.

SHILDON  2  10  Mount Pleasant

Scorers – Callum Brown (1) Callum Griffiths (1)

Man of the match – Callum Griffiths

Shildon still await their first win after a disappointing defeat at home to Mount Pleasant Rangers.

The team were under pressure from the start with a goal from the visitors within the first 5 minutes.  Shildon produced some good chances but were unlucky and failed to score before halftime, with a further 3 from the away side.

A good team talk at the break saw the boys come back with great spirit and their hard work paid off with a goal from Callum Brown.  Mount Pleasant were quick to respond and scored straight from the rebound.  More goals followed but Shildon still piled the pressure on and saw more opportunity with a great corner by Will Dixon, but great defending from the away side kept the ball from the back of the net.  Callum Griffiths got Shildon’s second and final goal from a corner, with the whistle blown just after.

The under 11’s were praised for their performance from the visiting side who said the boys played with heart and determination until the final whistle.

SHILDON  8  0  Great Ayton

Scorers  –  Adam Campbell (2), Noah McCourt (2), Alex Lamb (2) Tom Andelin (1) Ben Oliver (1)

Man of the match – Tom Andelin

The Under 13’s played host to Great Ayton, and produced arguably their best display as a team in 15 months.  After the previous week’s victory, the team started well again, with a couple of good attacks.  However, it was Great Ayton who produced the first effort, with Niall Higham pushing a great effort around the post.  This spurred on the home team, with Adam Campbell racing onto a through ball to calmly slot it just inside the left hand post on 10 minutes.  Almost immediately from the restart, Noah McCourt, making his debut, broke through, rounded the keeper and doubled the advantage.  Ten mins later, a ball over the top saw Tom Andelin clear, and he made no mistake with a calm finish.  The team were now playing some great football, and within a few minutes, McCourt (post) and Campbell (bar) had rattled the woodwork.  On 30 minutes, Ben Oliver got the 4^th with a fine finish, and just before the break, Alex Lamb made it 5 with an excellent goal.  Lamb then had time to hit the bar before the half time whistle.  Into the second half, Alex Lamb got his second of the match with another excellent finish, before McCourt got his second on 60 minutes to make it 7.  Adam Campbell rounded off the scoring direct from a corner.

A great team display with the defence really solid, the midfield working hard and a genuine outlet up front.  Tom Andelin picked up the MOTM award, however, there were many candidates.

SHILDON  3  2  Newton Aycliffe Youth

Scorers – Jack Leighton (2) Jake Sharp (1)

Man of the Match – Jack Leighton

The Shildon AFC Under 8’s were at home to Newton Aycliffe Youth, and the lads were determined to get a win after last weeks tough game.  They applied the pressure straight away but some solid defending by the opposition stopped them from getting a goal in the first half.  As the half time whistle blew the lads were trailing by 2 goals to none.

As soon as the second half began the lads picked up the pace and some excellent passing allowed Jack Leighton to get Shildon on the score board.  Shortly after Jack got his second goal.  The Shildon defence worked brilliantly to prevent Aycliffe Youth from scoring, they had very few chances at goal in the second half.  With five minutes to go Jake Sharp scored, putting Shildon in the lead.  As the full time was called the score was Shildon AFC 3 – Newton Aycliffe Youth 2.

For the friendly, Shildon played some great football yet again.  They passed the ball better than ever and had a number of shots at goal saved by Aycliffe’s keeper.  Jack Leighton found the back of the net twice.  The final score was Shildon AFC 2 – Newton Aycliffe 2.  Jake Sharp was given the man of the match trophy for a brilliant performance.

Middleton Rangers  5  0  SHILDON

Man of the Match – Kai Chadwick

The U9’s travelled to Middleton Rangers this week and showed they are beginning to see the improvements from the hard work they put into training and in games.  By the opposition manager’s admission, the score line flattered Middleton and wasn’t a true reflection on the team.  It is fair to say that if Shildon played this team three or four weeks ago they would been beaten by a big margin.  Good times are ahead for this small squad of players who never give up.  Kai Chadwick received the mom award who has trained hard since joining the team and got his reward today.

The second game finished 2 -1 to Middleton.  Anth Jary scored Shildon’s goal. New signing James Douthwaite received the mom award who showed real potential in his first outing  for Shildon.

SHILDON  2  0  Seaton Carew Tigers

Scorers – Kane Hopwood (2)

Man of the match – Ellie Geary

Shildon started off confidently in the first half with heavy pressure put on the away side.  Shots from Shildon’s forward and midfield players were on target but with a stout defence and blocks the score remained 0-0 at half time.  The start of the second half was much the same with Shildon pressing heavily.  After 6mins the pressure finally told as Kane Hopwood scored with a powerful right foot shot.  With 4mins remaining Kane scored again to wrap up the points.  A good performance by all Shildon players on a very wet and windy pitch!!

Darlington All Stars  0  3  SHILDON

Scorers – Jack Mortimer (2) Kieran Green (1)

Man of the match – Ethan Smith

Shildon travelled to Darlington All Stars and recorded their first victory of the season.  From the first whistle, the team were on the front foot, and created a number of chances.  Jack Mortimer, who had a superb game, had 2 good efforts on goal before Kieran Green put the team ahead with a fine finish.  More pressure followed with Tom Andelin hitting the bar.  Just before half time, Jack Mortimer doubled the score with a good finish just inside the left hand post.

The early stages of the second half saw All Stars put some pressure on the Shildon defence, but looking more organised, they withstood the attacks, with good tackling and safe goalkeeping.  At the other end, Shildon had more chances, with Jack Mortimer heading in his second of the match following a good cross from Tom Andelin.  More attacks followed, and the woodwork saved All Stars on 3 occasions.  Jack Mortimer also had the chance for his hat trick, but put a penalty just wide of the post.

A great result with the whole team playing their part.
