Updated 15th April 2007

Under 11,s last game of an enjoyable first season at 11- a-side.

This game was at home to league leaders Waldridge park.The first bad news came when Jake Parker was out with a serious leg injury sustained when one of his little dog sbrought him down with a good tackle.To the game.Scott went up front for Jake it what was going to be a hard game in excelent conditions.as we needed a point to go up as runners up.The the game started and we got thumped 6-0.

At times the football i.e passing and moving was great however we lack aggression and committment in some places which was our downfall.We know our strengths and weaknesses  and we will try and put these right over the close season.Yet a group of friends that have grown together into a prospective first division team should be proud of thmselves.Well done lads.

Sunday 08-04-07

Under 11,s away to Deerness Valley.Deerness had only 9 players and although you feel sympathy for them we still played on and won 13-1.

Goals from Adam 2, Jake 3 ,Smithy 3, Reece 2, Liam Watt 2 and Luke 1.Some excellent football played in between a lot of missed opportunities in front of goal.Again 3 points gained which takes us into the final match of our first season at 11 - a-side. 
 

Updated 01-04-07.

an away game took us to Bowburn.Although at the bottom of the league Bowburn were not to be underestimated and 3 points were vital to put pressure on the top of the table.We started well peppering the goal with shots from all over the park but unable to score.The pitch from afar looked like a gem,a bowling green.However, on close inspection it was more like a farmers field.The lads did well to try and play the passing game that has done them proud over the seaon.Goals from Jake 3, Liam Watt 1 and Adam 1 along with a breakaway goal from Bowburn secured a well deserved 3 points (5-1 win)

11th March 2007

Well where do we start.A home game against a team near the bottom of the league,Deerness Valley.The first half as we said to the lads at half time was disgraceful.We panicked, argued with each other,forgot our positions and kicked the ball in the air into the wind, only for it to blow back.

Going in 3-0 down was going to be hard to come back from.

With the wind in our favour we had to make our chances copunt and put some pressure on the opposition.Which we started to do but still kept the ball in the air and not playing on the ground the  passing and moving game they are good at.However the good thing to come out of this game was the will to win and not give in.2 goals from Jake,1 from Adam and 1 from Reece meant we won 4-3 and did make use if the wind.Well done lads
 

04th March 2007.

 

An away game for the Under 11's took us to sunny Seaham.

We decided to give the lads who had been more than patient (on the subs bench ) a start against a team we should quite comfortably defeat.

It started well on a hard boggy pitch,going one up with  a fine strike from James Roper.Then just as we had been discussing the need for team work and defensive play we again shoot ourselves in the foot with two sloppy goals from poor defending.We should have been well in front, but yet again the normally prolific threat from striker Jake Parker deserted us yet again.Half time 2- 1 down.

Changes were made in the second half which resulted in more possession and a hat full of goals ending in a 6-2 win (Parker 4, Roper 1 and Brown 1)

Some of the goals were outstanding which was nice and see jake get his confidence back .Adam Brown striking a lovely shot into the top right corner of the net after a lovely passing move through the midfield.A great win when we ghad to compete against the referee and some blatant time wasting and feighning injury when we were putting pressure upon their goal.A great team effort, well done.

At last we had a game to report, and it seems the Under 11 lads have done well again. Read on below.

ROB'S UPDATE

A tough game against the top two teams in the league.The game was played on a superb but large pitch at herrington. The game was end to end with the Herrington goal keeper in good form saving well from Jake Parker on numerous occasions.The lads went in at half time 0-0 and were told to concentrate on defending and to keep them at nil and we believed we would get the goals to win.I we had had our shooting boots on we would have cored at least 3 to win the game .However the game ended in a 0-0 draw which was probably a fair result and a great game to watch.Everyone deserves credit for a very good hard fought performance.

Sunday 04-02-07 (Under 11;s)

After a poor turn out at training on friday due to the tiredness of a week in Derwent Hill for the Fulwell lads and a week in Centre parks for liam watt and a weeks skiing for Tom the lads came up against middle of the table Riverside.We made a change for the ill Chris Butler and brought in Chris Duncan for a starting spot at  right back with Luke moving to left back.The lads were all over them in terms of football ability yet again panicking into silly mistakes which allow the opposition back into the game.They stuck at it and again came out winners 3-1 with goals from Jake, James and and own goal after pressure from Smithy.Mention has to go to Lukes perfect cushioned header down into the path of the on coming striker.The problem being luke was our left back and headed it across his own goal.At the opposite end it would have resembled a wayen Rooney type skill.Howewver it just caused more pressureo the touch line.Saying that i have to say thanks to luke as he has been playing excellent at right back but again moved across without any hassle and again did a superb job.Thanks

The Under 11's returned to league action this week against Hylton Castle away.The game was played on an excellent pitch near to Nissan.After a good training session on Friday the lads set about the task of playing as a team which the duly did by scoring 14 goals to nil (14-0)The goals came from Adam,Jake,Smithy,James,Luke, and Dan watson. The lads, everyone of the squad played excellent football which was a joy to watch.Passing,Movement,tackling, supporting each other.Well done lads an excellent performance.To the fulwell junior lads enjoy Derwnt hill (Remember the kendal mint cake for the coaches) to liam watt and olivia enjoy centre parks and to Tom enjoy your skiing trip (dont, break a leg)

Hylton Castle 0 V Seaburn 14 (As above)

15th January 2007

In blustery conditions the Under 11's came down to earth with a bump against a well organised Lambton Lions side losing 7-1.

This was the heaviest defeat the under 11,s have conceded and hopefully learn from the mistakes.We talked before the game about closing the opposition down when they had the wind in their favour.We didnt do it and went down 5-0 at half time.We got a late consolation goal from Jake Parker in the second half.

The whole performance was dissapointing and listening to parents on the side lines they felt the same way.However this bunch of lads had a bad day at the office which we all do.It is from now that we push on puting in  hard work and continue to put pressure on the top of the table.
 

Lambton Lions 7 V Seaburn 1 (Jake Parker)

7th January 2007

The Under 11's returned after the winter break with a home game against the league leaders Herrington.The lads played some excellent passing and moving in the first half to go in at half time 1-0 up with a well taken goal from Jake parker.At half time and Herrington playing down the slope with the wind we discussed the need for closing down so they could not shoot from long range over Bens head.It must have gone in one ear and out the other because within 5 minutes they had a shot which looped over Ben for 1-1.The lads sustained some pressure from Herrington which was caused by us giving the ball away to easily.What must have been the only cross of the second half by Smithy ended up with Liam WATT volleying the winner home to earn a well deserved 2-1 win.A mention goes to Dan Watson for an excellent display at the back and when he gets his defending right he will resemble a young John Terry.

17th December 17th 2006

At home to Houghton boys who went on to win 3-2.We had a few off colour and the very influential liam watt missing and in his sick bed.We went one nil up with some great crossing from the left by James Roper, finished off in style by Smithy.We then went to sleep in defence and lack of concentration and in in affective center of midfield cost us a further goal.We then pulled it back to 22 at half time through a bit of hard work.

The second half due to injuries and players out of postion cost us dear.It was like a calamity of errors.Players kicking thin air, not talking to each other,kick and rush everything we have worked on went out of the window.When we got the ball to floor we played some lovely football but we panicked got bullied off the ball slow to the ball and second best in every department.Jake was ruled offside for an equaliser which everyone knew was the wrong decision but we cant blame one decision for a flat performance.However,when the lads were asked for a response they said awful.I dont think it was awful just a lack of team work and effort.A two week break and we will come back and put pressure on for the title.HAPPY XMAS

Seaburn 2 v Houghton 3

27th November 2006

 

26-11-06 The under 11,s played Bowburn youth at home.With players unavailable it was a chance to try different players,positions and formations.In the first half we did not use the width of the pitch and got a bit tangled up in the middle but still went in 2-0 up at half time withe goals from Liam watt with a left foot long range shot from outside the box and another well taken goal from Adam Brown.The second half was a series of defensive mishaps and a team of individuals.Jake Parker rounded the keeper for a well taken goal before Bowburn got a break away goal because of poor defending.

 

Allthough the performance was not the best this season the lads many of which had a start for the first time and played well i.e Liam Williamson at right back,Kieran Spruce at centre back and Tom Rutley in goal.Aswell as other players playing out of position,it was another win which keeps the team at the top of the league.WELL DONE LADS.
 

Under 11's- An away game against Waldridge was going to prove a stern test for the team.We completely outplayed them in the first half and should have been 3 goals up.Jake parker missing 3 oportuniites which he normally puts away with ease.He had the big lads at the back terrified by his pace but some good goalkeeping by the Waldridge keeper kept them in the game.0-0 at half time was not a fair reflection of the game.

The second half started well but some sloppy defending again allowed Waldridge to sneak two silly goals.We must stop this type of panic defending when we are on top of the oposition.However two excellent goals from Liam watt and Jake Parker earned the team a well deserved draw against the team who will be at the top come the end of the season.It was a fabulous effort and excellent hard work from everyone.

Amention must go to to Liam Williamson.Whilst being a substitute and should now know to be near the coaches and warming up he decided to climb the nearby trees and very nearly did not take any part in the game.However when he decided that he was not a monkey and WAS in fact part of the team he went on and performed excellently in midfield.

Today's Under 11's game was played in cold,windy,winter conditions which made the sort of game we like to play a little more difficult. We started the first half playing downhill with the wind a took the lead with goals from Liam Smith 2, Adam Brown 1 and Jake Parker 1.The second half playing against the wind and uphill was always going to be harder but the lads stuck in and although they conceded a sloppy goal with some weak defending we ran out winners 4-1 to keep the momentum going.The defending in the second half was a bit sloppy with not much talking and players not being committed to get to the ball.The center of midfield was also a cause for concern at times with big gaps appearing. Plenty to work on  but another victory. Well done lads

29th October 2006.

The under 11's played away yet again against Tyneside Juniors. This was a pleasing performance for me (Rob) and Derek because of the way the lads battled and played as a team.  A mention has to go Liam watt for filling in at centre half for Daniel Watson who is on Holiday. Keiran Spruce who played a half at centre half having returned from his holidays and did exactly what we asked him to do aswell as Chris Duncan who came on at left back and again did what we asked of him in defence with some nice sharp passing and James Roper for  some quality crossing from the left hand side.The whole team deserves the praise for a great start to the 11 a side league and for there freindship and attitude. Well done lads some excellny passing and moving in the second half. keep it going.

22nd October 2006

The Under 11's played away at the Riverside in Chester le Street.We won 5-2 with Jake Parker scoring 3 and Luke Cassidy scoring 2. Again it was a good hard earned team performance with Luke Cassidy outstanding as he played left back,right back and right midfield. Well done lads

Riverside 2 v Seaburn 5 (Jake 3, Luke 2)

October 15th 2006

 Under 11’s - Another fine win away from home 3-1 against Lambton Lions. Jake with 2 and Adam with the 3rd.We should have won about 12 - 0 but lack of knowledge regarding the off side rule and shots missing the target, hitting the keeper or hitting the bar saved Lambton from a heavy defeat. The lads did not utilise the width of the pitch and did not pass it about as we should but in the end it was another win with every player in the squad getting a game and most players trying out different positions within the team. Mention must go to Daniel Watson for a fine performance at centre half.

Well done lads 

Lambton Lions 0 V Seaburn 3 (Jake 2, Adam 1)

8th October 2006

In a hard fought game at home to the top of the league team, Newbottle, Seaburn Juniors Under 11’s ran out 2-1 winners. Jake Parker scoring two instinctive strikes. The first half was a tale of lazy, timid uninterested individuals. However, after going in at half time 0-0 and some excellent goalkeeping by Ben Pitcairn, the team got a talking to which was justified due to the first half performance.

The second half started brightly with more commitment and desire from almost everyone resulting in the team going two up. Some panic defending at the end could of let Newbotttle back in but we clung on to earn a hard fought and deserved victory.

Special mention must go to Ben for his first half display of goalkeeping Luke for his defending in the second half and for Liam Watt who fought hard in the middle of midfield.

What summed the game up for me and the attitude which is coming through from the team is this. One lad never got on because of the nature of the game which was tight and important for the development of the squad. However, this young lad didn’t moan he just said to his dad that although he did not get on, at least the team won. This attitude is exactly why the club was formed to develop young people into nice, sporting, respectful individuals. I know and hope this attitude which we are trying to achieve continues as we can be proud of them not only as a team but as an individual who is being brought up with the right attitude to succeed. 

Well done lads.

17th Sept 2006

The Under 11's defeated Hylton Castle 5- 1. Jake Parker scoring 3, Liam Smith 1 and Adam Brown 1. Every one played well as it was a excellent team effort but Liam Watt deserves extra praise for his display this afternoon in the middle of the midfield.

10th Sept 2006

A fantastic result for the Under 11's today A stylish 5-2 win against Houghton Boys. Jake Parker scoring 3,James Roper with his best game yet scoring 1 and Reece Scott aslo getting 1. It was a great team performance with every player putting in 100%.

The Under 11's started the new season against Herrington which resulted in a 2-1 defeat but the lads deserved at least a draw. Jake Parker notching our goal.

Seaburn 1 (Jake Parker) v Herrington 2

 

In atrocious conditions the under 11,s had a home game against Tyneside juniors.In weather that can only be described as artic, the lads, as you could see by their actions where really struggling with the cold and icy winds.However,with adjustments having to be made due to injuries to Liam Watt sickness to Chris Butler and Chris Duncan unavailable the team performed heroically and came away with a well earned 1-0 win through a goal from Liam Smith.

Well done lads for the win and for playing in those conditions.
