THE Under-8s won the Barnard Castle FC tournament on Saturday by beating St. Mary's 5-0 in the final.

This was a tremendous performance by everyone involved and all the players and the manager on the day Andy Mitchell deserve praise for a great achievement.

Incredibly they repeated the achievement of the Under-10s in last month's Beamish and East Stanley tournament by only conceding one goal during the whole competition. On the day they managed five wins and one draw. All of the squad scored, even the goalkeeper who played as centre forward during one of the games.

Many thanks to Barnard Castle FC for a well organised event that everyone enjoyed.

Team: Jack Thompson, David Mitchell, John Vaux, Callum Cummings, Ryan Cummings, Callum Oldfield, Sam Hepple.
