The Under-12s travelled to Richmond for their cup semi-final game, a tense affair with neither team giving ground to the other .
A solid midfield performance from Sam Grainger and Nathan Pratt gave Northallerton the edge in the second half, with the game heading towards extra time a solo effort from Shane Darby broke the deadlock giving Northallerton a deserved final place.
The Under-13s played hosts to a strong and well organised Bedale team. The visitors opened the scoring early on and continued to dominate the first half with a further two goals. The second half saw the visitors extend their lead to four goals although this was the cue for a monumental fight back, a neat flick on from Matthew Hill put Andy Lagan through, he finished well. The provider turned finisher with a headed goal. Andy Lagan latched on to a reverse pass from Michael Pedley to equalise. With the tie finely balanced both teams pushed for the winner and with extra time approaching the home team gained a corner, it was curled in by Shane Bendelow and met perfectly by Jack Eyre - his first goal of the season. With seconds left Adam Hodgkinson completed the fight-back and netted Northallerton's sixth.
The Under-14s made their passage to the final a little less dramatically running out comfortable winners 12-0 away to rivals Brompton. Goals from Joe Dawson (4) Mark Blair (2), Andy Anderson (2) and Ben Darville (2) were helped with single goals from Geraint Jones and Tom Dennis. This result now puts League leaders Northallerton in with a strong chance of completing a clean sweep of trophies at their age level.
The Under-15s travelled the short distance to neighbours Brompton and completed a very successful cup day. The visitors opened the scoring with a well-taken strike from midfielder Stephen Greiff. Goals from Paul Robson and Michael Abbotson took the away side to a 3-0 lead in the first half. The second half saw a fight-back from the home side but the power and pace of Northallerton proved too much. And further goals from Nathan Adams and Tom Layfield put Northallerton comfortably into the final.
