Brompton (Northallerton)

Brompton Under-17s, last season's Division Four winners in the Teesside Junior Football Leagie, got off to a flying start with a hardfought 3-2 victory at home to New Marske SC on the opening day of the season. New Marske opened the scoring on 15 minutes but Brompton equalised on the half hour with a goal by Vernalls. With the score level at half time, Brompton pressed hard after the break but were unable to break down the visitors and they were punished when New Marske took the lead against the run of play. Brompton responded well from the restart and drew level with an individual effort by Tasker. From this point on Brompton had the majority of play and following a fine cross by Stimson, Vernalls scored to secure the points and his second goal. After this spirited start Brompton look forward to entertaining Wolviston in the League Cup on Sunday.

Brompton Under-14s also got off to winning ways in this their first season in the Teesside JFL beating Billingham Wanderers in an entertaining game. Stefan Pearson opened the scoring on two minutes with a long-range free kick, Scott Goodrum added a second less than ten minutes later from a corner. Pearson scored twice more to complete his hat-trick before Billingham pulled one back. Pearson went on to score his fourth and Brompton's fifth from the edge of the box. Billingham scored once more to make the final score 5-2 in an excellent team performance.
