TIBS B 2 – Redcar Town A 1
A depleted Redcar Town Side took only 11 players to a well organised and much fancied side away from home to TIBS B. A bright start from Redcar Town seen them dominate most of the early possession and create some good chances with Curtis Holmes pulling the TIBS B defence all over the place with some wonderful skill backed up by the ever impressive Lewis Wake who’s was outstanding on the right hand side of midfield with a show of determination and guile.
The opening goal came against the run of play when a needless free kick was given away on the edge of the area. The TIBS striker crashed his shot against the underside of the bar and the Redcar Town defence failed to clear their lines and TIBS opened the scoring to lead one nil at half time.
The second half started brightly again with the organised formation of Redcar Town proving formidable opposition. Harrison Brown and Kieran Garbutt completely dominating the centre of midfield not allowing TIBS to play. During the pressure came a goal from Redcar as a number of corners allowed one to be delivered into the box which Jack Brown guided a beautiful precise header pass the TIBS keeper to make the score 1-1.
Unfortunately a defence lapse seen a ball through the middle of the Redcar Town defence split them wide open in which the TIBS striker ran on too and slot home, to make the game 2-1 to the home side.
Redcar Town once again pushed for the equaliser with wave after wave of attacks and corners that proved when RTFC passed the ball they can match anybody on their day. However that elusive goal did not arrive and even though they had dominated the game for large periods Redcar did not get what they deserved and lost the game 2-1. A great effort by the 11 lads that on another day would have seen them get something from the game.

Redcar Town A 4 Billingham Synthonia 0
Another dominating performance by Redcar Town A swept aside a Billingham side that did not trouble the home side on too many occasions. In what was a sometimes scrappy game Redcar did also show the willingness and desire to play the passing football that they enjoy and revel in.
The first goal that came from the home side was an excellently executed finish from the impressive Jacob Rigden who ran through the middle of the Billingham defence and finished coolly and even though Redcar had more opportunities the first half ended 1-0 to the home side.
The second half started brightly with Jack Williams latching on to a superb through ball and cutting in from the left hand side and drove a beautifully placed shot past the goalkeeper and into the bottom right hand corner of the net.
The pressure continued and it was only a matter of time before the top goal getter Curtis Holmes scored and added his name to the score sheet with another fine finish.
Time was left for the best of all the goals as Curtis Holmes released Jacob Rigden in a fine display of forward work and Jacob expertly beat one man before lobbing a brilliant effort over the advancing keeper and into the net.
Some class passing and ball retention and a fine display of finishing in places but also great work ethic from the likes of Lewis Wake, Kieran Garbutt, Harrison Brown, Ryan Stallard and Dan Warnes to allow the home team to play their football and dominate the game in such a fashion.

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
