Under 11 Division 2
A windy day at Billingham did not influence the game as much as first feared, Redcar Town dominated this game from start to finish by playing some good football and again showing excellent defensive qualities.
All the decent passages of play came from Redcar Town in the first half and they soon took an early deserved lead when Captain Marvel Kieran Garbutt picked up the ball well outside the box and unleashed a screamer into the net over the keeper that no one would have saved. Redcar dominated throughout the first period and a second goal was inevitable and it duly came after a long ball over the top from Reece Bowley caught the high line of Billingham defence sleeping and the ever alert Jack Brown (who had a superb game throughout showing fine touches and layoffs) was on hand to pounce and lift the ball over the advancing keeper.
Half Time 2-0
The second half started more slowly with Redcar still having good possession without creating many chances. However the third goal did arrive after Redcar Town were awarded a corner Lewis Wake took the corner that after a slight deflection went straight in but it was only what his display and performance deserved.
Synners managed to pull one back when a defence lapse and a wrong decision from the home referee allowed a clear offside to stand the Synners striker popped up to slide one into the bottom corner, however this was completely against the run of play and another Redcar Town goal was soon to come and it did again from the man of the match Kieran Garbutt who once again tried his luck from the edge of the area, not a clean of a strike as the last one but the Synners keeper failed to handle the spinning ball and the ball trickled over the line adding weight to the old saying “if you don’t shoot you don’t score”.
Full time 4-1 and a well-deserved 3 away points from a much disciplined Redcar side that showed good shape and organisation.

while most if not all games were postponed due to weather conditions fleet once again went the extra mile to make sure that at least one fixture was played with the help of southlands leisure centre new 3g pitches and both teams enjoyed the perfect pitch conditions it certainly showed through thier football with both teams playing ecceptional football throughout the whole game.
fleet enjoyed the better play in the first half with wave after wave of attacking football only to see town repel every attack and even oppening the scoring with a break away goal by Lewis Caswell which caught fleet by suprise,fleet soon rallied and resumed thier attacking football but still they couldnt break the town defence half time 0-1.
the second half was totaly different to the first half with both teams probing through some great attacking play but both defences stood firm that was untill fleet won a corner with 6 minuits left the ball was perfectly delivered by Gary Bedford which was met with great precision by Kieran Kane who thundered the ball past town keeper who had no chance of stopping it,and thats how it finished 1-1 both sets of players deserve a pat on the back for this was a great advert for junior football both teams gave 100% and concidering the temp was -3 kept going from the first whistle to the last,both sets of supporters had wittnesed a great game played with the sportsmanship way above thier young age and the supporters showed thier gratitude with thier applause for both sets of players.
both fleet and town would like to thank southlands leisure centre for thier help with this fixture at such short notice

cargo fleet entertained top of the league guisborough town in a match that was billed to be a entertaining and it didnt disapoint
the match had to be played up at southlands due to vandalism to the home pitch in pallster park
and what a game it was fleet keeper wheatly reported for the game under the weather but played outstanding to repel town time and time again as town played some great football but fleets defence stood firm with Teasdale and Johnstone working tirelessly to ensure a clean sheet against a very strong attacking town everyone could see it was going to take a moment of magic to break the dead lock then up popped dean Jennison after a fine clearance from Declan Mckitrick Jennison found himself one on one with town last defender who he managed to evade and then rifle a shot from almost 10 yds past the keeper into the top right corner 1-0 to fleet with time ticking town again mounted attack after attack only for fleet defence to clear and thats how it finished it was a shame there had to be a winning and a losing side as both teams played a great game and with the final whistle came cheers and applause from the spectators fleet now find themselves joint top of the division and looking over thier shoulder for the chasing pack but are definately in the mix for the end of season knees up. well done fleet

cargo fleet 2-0 dormanstown
cargofleet u14s kept their winning streak going in their match today with a superb performance against a well organised dormanstown , first half of the game started off with a constant attack from cargofleet with a couple of fleet players coming close to scoring which included jordan Ingram and Arron Robinson only to be denied their goals by dormanstown keeper who was towns man of the match from the fleet perspective . second half started the same again with a constant attack from the fleet there was some great corners delivered from Alex Green which the fleet just couldnt seem to finish. with 15 minutes remaining the fleet recieved a free kick which was quickly taken by Connor Appleby which was recieved by Mathew Cotton and placed into the back of the net not giving the keeper any chance. the second goal was slipped past the keeper by Ryan Geldart 2 mins before the final whistle in the end fleet won 2-0 superb performance from both teams,this result allowed fleet to leapfrog town but fleet still have 3 games in hand and are looking very strong at the moment
