Seaton Carew U12 2  Darlington FC Youth U12 3

With five games to go Darlo won this very tough away game to an excellent Seaton side in windy sea front conditions!!

Seaton started well and didn't let Darlo get control of the game even though Darlo had the wind driving them forward.

But then a clearance fell to hard working forward Chrissy Walters who drove the ball straight past the keeper into the corner of the goal. 1-0 Darlo.

Some great set pieces caused problems for Seaton but they managed to scramble the ball away a few times to keep the score 1-0 to Darlo at half time.

Darlo in the second half were against the wind and started well then scored a second when the hard working Jamo up front won the ball and found Benjy Keating who drove home from outside the box to give Darlo a 2-0 lead.

Seaton though with the wind, kept driving at Darlo and shooting from all areas and with ten minutes left scored twice to make it 2-2 and were now in full control and looked like the side who would get a winner.

But with five minutes to go Benjy played a great ball to Harry Dixon who beat two players down the right and crossed low which the keeper dropped and from nowhere Callum Moncur reacted and entered the box to smash home the loose ball to make it 3-2 to Darlo with five minutes left!

The last five minutes were solid defending and discipline from the lads and with solid handling from Fynn in goal and outstanding defending from the whole back three of either Daz Louie Oli Chrissy Benjy and Callum C, also Moncur, Jojo, Harry and Josh done well in behind the energetic front pair of Jamo and Chrissy!

Great result in a very hard game MOTM was Louie Davidson for great defending in new right back position!
