Ferryhill under 12's sponsored by Ecodrill were once again away to Bedale, this time in the league cup. Ferryhill were again slow to start and fell behind as early as the second minute. Bedale continued to apply the early pressure, but resolute defending from Jordan Ball, Matthew Hicks and Liam Keenan frustrated the home side. Sean Luke in the Ferryhill goal pulled off some fine saves when Bedale did break through and the score remained 1 - 0 at half time. The second half started with Ferryhill on the back foot, but a Callum Walton freekick from 35 yards had the Bedale keeper scrambling to make a fine save. Bedale doubled their lead on 46 minutes and added a third on 55. Ferryhill responded with a stunning 25 yard strike from Nathan Carr on 57 minutes. This gave the lads a bit more belief and a minute later Callum Johnson rattled in a second. Ferryhill were by now dominating and looked like they might grab a late equalizer, but it wasn't to be and Bedale hung on to claim a narrow victory. Man of the Match was Nathan Carr.
