FC Houghton 2 - 2 Gosling Bridge

Tough hard fought game today with the wind being horrendous.

It was all in our hands today to secure 2nd place with us being 3 point clear and level on games with 3rd place 🐝 🐝 🐝
Unisun needing the win and us to slip up.

All that was needed was a single point to secure 2nd place for us and we went 2-0 up in the first half with goals from and a superb header by .

In the second half a very poor penalty decision went against us and Gosling sloted it home.

A Mistake in midfield left us on the back foot and before we knew it, it was 2-2 with 15minutes still to play.

Couple of subs made by .34 strengthened up a well battleworn midfield and backline which saw the game home with a draw at full time and got us the point we needed to get 2nd place for the season.

All round class performance by the whole squad today.
With man of the match been Chris Major at CB

From 2nd bottom last season to 2nd top this season what a rollercoster it been.

With us only setting the club up last season and securing promotion (depending on next season league format) in our second season, shows the hard work put in by the committee, manager and players who have made this little club of ours what it is today.

Big congratulations to Longtown FC Sunday who were crowned champions 🏆 fully deserved and a good bunch of lads

Big thank you to all our sponsors who help fund the club and make sure we have what we need for the season.

Our First Cup win today for FC Houghton 🥳

Border Towns United 4 - 4 FC Houghton
4 - 5 penalty

The game was very back and forth between the two teams at Graitney playing Field Gretna.

BTU took the early lead then a penalty awarded to us made it 1-1

The game continued 2 - 1, 2 - 2 then 3 - 2 going into half time with BTU 1 ahead.

The start of the second half saw us make a couple of subs and a great ball through by Matty Purvis to Jamie Mcgraw down the left hand side saw Jamie strike the ball and put it past the BTU keeper into the top corner.

The game continued 3 - 3 until BTU were awarded a penalty to make it 4 - 3 with only 5 minutes to go.

We continued to pile the pressure on and in went the 4th to make it 4 - 4 at full time.

Penalties after full time saw a save by the FC Houghton No2 keeper Josh Willis and the rest of the lads put there shots away cleanly to make it 4 - 5 after pens.

Players Man of the match was Josh Willis
Managers Man of the match was Sam Atkinson

Not the day at the office we were wanting today...

First half saw us have one cleared of the line and then one disallowed which was a very poor decision by the ref, even the opposition were baffled.

This then lead to two very quick goals by Unisun Social who went into half time 2-0 up.

Personally we just felt luck wasn't going our way, another goal came unisuns way making it 3-0 at the start of the second half.

There 4th came when it really shouldn't have, a fowl on our no14 let them get the way of play, ref was to weak to call it and they went on to put the ball in the back of the net this then followed by a 5th moments later.

Game was gone at this point but the lads didn't stop battling to the end, last 10 minutes we played some good football and we pulled one back with a goal from Jamie McGraw taking there clean sheet from there keeper.

A well played game by Unisun Social and they deserved the win.

Home and away fixtures done now for us and with it one a piece for both sides this season 👍

Top of the table clash today V
LONGTOWN FC

Was a battle from the off with us only having a squad of 13.

We defended some early pressure in the first 10 minutes and then played a lovely ball into who's goal was called offside (never was)

Few minutes later the ball was at Lakins feet again and he put it away well, putting Longtown on the back foot

then followed up with a great shot with the second making it 2-0

Longtown came back with some pressure and scored a goal, bringing the score line to 2-1.

We then got the third with getting on the score sheet to make it 3-1 going into half time.

The second half for us having a spare GK on the bench and 1 sub was to see the game out and take the three points.

Last 10 minutes our legs started to go along with a few bruised legs and Longtown got a goal making it 3-2

The lads dug deep with us taking all three points back to Houghton 🥳🍺🍻

Man of the match Gary Armstrong 👏
