Richmond Under-10s played Northallerton and were unfortunate to have their unbeaten run ended. The first match was even although the scoreline shows otherwise. They did not utilise their chances and were suddenly 3-0 down. Nick Armstrong scored a sensational shot from a distance but the match ended 5-1. The second game was again an even contest but luck was against Richmond as the posts were what kept them from being in front. Northallerton went 2-0 up and Nick Armstrong scored again with another great shot from an amazing run. They let in another two goals but Marshall Thorogood put in a late goal to finish the match 4-2 to Northallerton.
