Wynyard Town v Darlington FC Youth U9

MOTM – Will Coxon – after a very hard working performance.

Darlington made sure they ended the year on a high against Wynyard Town.

The team travelled with high hopes after a fantastic performance in their

last league game.

The team started with Zach Judson in goal, Ewan Irvine and Jack

Thompson in defence and Ben Snowden sitting in front of the defence in

midfield.

Harry Gunnall, Jack Shaw and new signing Will Coxon added the fire

power to the squad.

From the first whistle, Darlington peppered the Wynyard goal, looking

to take an early lead.

It took until 4 minutes before the break for Ben Snowden to break the

dead lock, finishing off into the bottom corner, after a scramble in

the box.

The second half brought Oliver English into the game replacing Jack

Thompson at the back, and Max Atkinson replacing Ewan Irvine which saw

Ben Snowden drop back into defence.

Will Coxon was unfortunate not to score his first goal for the club

when he went close with 5 minutes left.

Max Atkinson had a chance when each time the ball fell he was unlucky

not to score.

In the final few minutes Will Coxon had another shot saved.

The next game for the under 9s isn't until 8th January away to Stockton town.

Thanks again for all your support, and to all the U9s have a great Christmas.
