Crook Town Horizon

Glass Juniors

Crook Town Horizon Glass visited Whitburn Saints in the Russell Foster Tyne and Wear Youth League and suffered a 3-0 defeat although playing with renewed flair and determination which had been lacking in recent matches. They were unlucky not to go ahead when Stephen Richardson curled in a corner, which almost found the net but was eventually scrambled away.

Whitburn looked certain to go ahead after 15 minutes when Dominic Otun outpaced the Crook defence and rounded keeper Stuart Walker but Chris Lowes managed to get back and save the situation.

Whitburn scored after 27 minutes when a scramble in the Crook goalmouth saw the ball fall to Michael Stewart who was able to tap the ball over the line.

Crook again performed well at the start of the second half with Craig Cowan, Adam Reed, Chris Lowes and Darryl Reed showing up well. However, their luck was right out when, after 55 minutes, Stephen Hailes scored direct from a corner. Crook pushed forward but were unfortunate to be caught on the break five minutes from the end when Darryl Reed deflected John Graham's shot past his own keeper.

The man of the match award for Whitburn went to Michael Gibson, while Stuart walker and Chris Lowes shared the award for Crook. Tomorrow, Crook are away to Hebburn Reyrolles with a noon kick-off.

Northallerton Juniors

Two early goals from Chris Chapman put Northallerton Under-12s into an early lead, but Darlington Albion struck back with a well taken volley.

This was the spur Northallerton needed and they replied with a succession of well-worked goals from Matthew Hill, Daniel Baxter, Andy Lagan and Adam Hodkinson to make the final score 7-1.

In an Barker Free Cup quarter-final the Under-13s won 2-0 at Barnard Castle. Following a very even first-half an inspirational team talk saw Northallerton burst into life early in the second half.

Talon Ward was the key man for the away side, setting up the opening goal with an inch perfect through ball for Eddie Craven to convert.

Ward then went on to cap his man of the match performance with a brilliant solo goal securing a semi-final place for Northallerton.

The Under-15s failed to make it to the semi-finals of the League Cup, losing 5-2 at home to Barnard Castle.

Northallerton scored early through Danny Trenholme and had in not been for some heroic saves from the Barnard Castle keeper there would have been more than just a second goal from John Wood.
