📣⚽️ Yesterday seen the lads back in league action against another top side.

We were missing Layton this weekend as he was away with his Sunday side at a tournament, and everyone at Moor wishing him the best of luck.

The game started fairly tight in the opening five minutes, but Moor were creating the better chances through Ben and Enzo. Despite the bright start, our opponents took the lead after around seven minutes.

The response was excellent. Around 10 minutes later, Enzo’s brilliant pressing high up the pitch won the ball back, allowing Ben to fire home a superb finish to level the game at 1-1.

From there, Moor really took control, playing some excellent football and creating further opportunities through Lewis and Harrison. At the other end, Joel produced a fantastic save low down to his right to tip a dangerous effort around the post and keep things level going into half time.

Half Time: 1-1

We flew out of the blocks in the second half and deservedly took the lead when Ben grabbed his second of the game with another fantastic finish.

Daryl then had a couple of opportunities, including an ambitious effort from range after we broke quickly from an opposition corner, unlucky not to find the target with the keeper off his line.

Moor continued to push forward, creating chances and limiting the opposition to very little, with Joel largely untroubled in goal. However, the visitors managed to catch us on the counter attack to make it 2-2.

The game looked set to finish level until three minutes from time when Harrison played a long ball forward which fell perfectly to Lewis. He took it out of his feet and smashed it past the keeper to make it 3-2 to Moor.

We held on to secure all three points after a superb team performance full of quality and hard work.

Man of the Match: Ben – a fantastic performance topped off with two excellent goals.

The Moor boys were back in action after a week off and the lads didn’t disappoint as the put in a brilliant performance to beat their opponents 8-3 after a tight score first half ended 1-1 however our control deserved far more.
This write up probably does the lads a disservice because so much more happened in the game with some top top stuff from everyone of them.

Moor started brightly but went 1-0 down early on. The team kept battling though and got themselves level before half time through Layton, who showed excellent skill and determination throughout the game. His quick feet and confidence to take on one, two and even three players caused problems all match long.

At the other end, Joel made two key saves in the first half to keep Moor in the game and followed that up with more excellent saves after the break.

Ben worked tirelessly from the front in the first half, pressing defenders and creating pressure high up the pitch. He was very unlucky not to get himself on the scoresheet.

Lewis had a strong game, working hard both defensively and going forward. He showed lovely feet on the ball and created two or three good chances for the team.

The second half saw Moor really take control. Harrison was solid at the back and made his mark going forward with a brilliant long-range free kick that looped perfectly over the wall and the goalkeeper. He added another goal later in the game.

Layton continued his superb form in front of goal, scoring five goals in total using both feet and showing quality all over the pitch.

Enzo came on in the second half and made a big impact. After being unlucky with his first chance, he timed his run perfectly onto a great through ball from Harrison and calmly finished to score.

Daryl impressed after coming on, continuing his recent good form with excellent work rate and skill on the ball. He was unlucky not to score himself after being denied by a very good save from the keeper.

After going into half time level at 1-1, Moor came flying out in the second half, scoring three goals before the opposition pulled one back. Moor then scored another three before conceding again, before Layton finished the game in style with his fifth goal to complete the 8-3 win.

📣⚽️ Back in spring cup action this morning against a side we drew 4-4 with back in the league so the lads were ready for the fight.
Our lads had very different ideas though after the first 5 minutes which was fairly even we got a corner which Ben delivered a lovely ball bounced around before Harrison turned on it smashing it in the corner 1-0 Moor.
From there we took control and didn’t have to wait to long before a through ball from Harrison found Daryl who let the ball come across his body outside the box he fired a fantastic strike across the keeper into the corner 2-0.
Daryl playing through the middle today considering he’s playing a year up showed a load of heart as he pressed from the front on every occasion.
The lads were pressing excellent creating loads of chances with both Layton and Ben coming close however half time we went in 2-0 up.
Second half we introduced both Lewis and Enzo, Lewis looking to pick up from his MOTM performance last week which he certainly did playing with loads of confidence and Enzo looking for his first competitive goals.
Again we didn’t have to wait long as a ball over the top from Harrison found Enzo who showed great composure to fire past the keeper to get his first 3-0 Moor.
Joel showed great hands, kicking was on point and sweeper keeper skills to keep our opponents out in what was a quiet game for him.
We had some defending to do from a corner which bounced around before Layton picked the ball up dribbling past a couple of players for sliding the ball through to Enzo who again as cool as you like slid it past the keeper 4-0.
Lewis the won us a freekick after some lovely skill to get passed his player before been dragged down, he stepped up to take the freekick which he smashed forward looking to get himself on the scoresheet however the defender got in the way which then dropped to Harrison who managed to ride a couple of tackles before prodding his second of the day past the keeper 5-0.
Ben then took the place of Harrison at the back and it wasn’t long before he was called into action as our opponents pushed on he made a couple of quick blocks/tackles
Layton forever in the wars today getting dragged down at every opportunity showed his resilience after the bar and the post denying him earlier, he then won another free kick which he dusted himself down to hit a perfect effort past the keeper 6-0.
With his tail firmly in the air it wasn’t long before Ben found Lewis who switched to Layton who cut inside beating his player before firing a raker over the keeper to complete our scoring 7-0.
Fair play to our opponents they kept going and when Ben found himself 3v1 on the counter there wasn’t much he could do as they slid in the striker who slot it into the corner 7-1 Moor.
Probably one of our most complete performances as a team today, of course the lads love to score goals but the football and work rate today was excellent to watch.
POTM’s… FULL TEAM 🔵⚪️🥇
Well done lads 👏🏻😮‍💨⚽️

📣Today seen the lads back fresh after a week off from league action looking to get our spring cup run going and they didn’t disappoint.
We faced a team who similarly to us had only one defeat last season, so always had the makings of a great game.
It was fairly back and forwards to start off with, Ben pressing excellent from the front backed up by Harrison, Lewis and Layton in behind before we took it by the scruff of the neck when Layton danced down the line past one before the defender made a block to put it out for a corner, Layton stepped up to take the corner and swung in a curling ball which beat everyone including the keeper 1-0 Moor.
We continued to push with attempts most notable from Layton with a couple one of which just hit the side netting, Lewis with a good freekick which just went over and Harrison with a driven shot which their defender made an excellent block.
We then had a dribble in which Harrison played quick ball down the line to Lewis who flicked the ball with the outside of his foot through the defenders legs which Layton burst onto the end of with the best finish of the game as he beat the keeper and lifted it past him to get his second of the day 2-0 Moor.
Our opponents then kicked into gear creating some good chances which Joel was equal to with some excellent saves to take us in at the break 2-0.
Second half again we came flying out the blocks with the introduction of Daryl and a first competitive fixture for Enzo who settled into the game really well.
The game was more open with chances at both ends but Joel still keeping them out until our opponents got a freekick on the right hand side of our box, they hit a power shot which Joel had no chance of stopping 2-1 Moor.
Ben then showed great feet trying to create some space for a shot however it got block before being fired across the box for Daryl who was filling in through the middle found himself on the end to get a well deserved goal 3-1.
We kept pushing to create chances before we got another corner which Layton stepped up and delivered an identical one to the first half directly from a corner to complete his hattrick… that’s 4 possibly 5 goals direct from a corner for him this year so no fluke 😮‍💨 4-1 Moor.
We made some changes with 5 minutes to go just as our opponents stepped up playing some really good football especially with their 1-2’s and they gave themselves a glimmer as they found themselves through on goal slotting home 4-2 Moor.
We managed to keep them out with some great defending from Ben, Lewis and Daryl along with pressing from the front from Enzo with a minute on the clock our opponents managed to create some space before another good finish 4-3 Moor.
The lads then showed their character as they put their bodies on the line to ensure we took home the 3 points 💪🏻
The game finished 4-3 which looks a lot closer than it should’ve been but take nothing away from the lads they were excellent from start to finish in what was a real team performance, hats off to each and everyone of them 🤩
Today’s player of the match went to Lewis, his all round game today was fantastic whether that be going forward, defending or passing 🥇

📣 Today seen the lads back in action ahead of our final league match before the Spring Cup.
The game started with us on the front foot but for some excellent saves from their keeper.
Around 5 minutes in we made the breakthrough when Layton drove down the right and putting the ball in the box which landed to Harrison who made no mistake 1-0 Moor.
Joel showed some great handling with a couple of really tricky efforts 🧤
A couple minutes later Daryl found himself pinned into the corner before he managed to find a lovely pass to Lewis who made a fantastic run from defence before he cut in and smashed it passed the keeper 2-0 Moor.
We had plenty of chances to extend the lead through with chances from Layton before Harrison got his second of the game when he went 1 on 1 with the keeper before finding the corner 3-0 Moor.
We then had a 5 minute spell where our opponents looked like they were going to get back in it with a quick fire double 3-2 Moor and half time.
After half time we seemed to go up another gear with Lewis dancing down the line passed a couple of players before his cross was blocked.
Chances from Layton and Daryl but again some great goalkeeping kept us at bay.
We then got a corner which we were unlucky to not score from but fell to Ben who was waiting for the ball to come out, struck it first time from outside the box which rocketed in off the post 4-2 Moor.
Lewis had another chance from just outside the box similar to one a couple weeks back but just couldn’t find the target.
Layton was still looking for what would be a well deserved goal with 1 minute to go showed some excellent feet as he jinxed between two players before the 3rd brought him down in an great position, he stepped up himself in what seemed to take ages for the ref to allow it to be took however that didn’t faze him as he hit a perfect strike which flew top corner 5-2 Moor.
This is how we finished, another top performance from all the lads 👏🏻

📣⚽️ Today seen the lads back in league action with a buzz around after Monday’s trip to Newcastle Academy we hoped they would emulate the levels they reached.
Unfortunately it wasn’t plain sailing from the off, we showed some great control however couldn’t quite create any clear chances and 5 minutes in a clearance found one of their players who found the corner 1-0 down.
After the restart we started to pick up but it was our opponents who’s goalkeeper picked up a loose ball and smashed it forward with the bounce catching Joel out 2-0 down.
We then had chances through Daryl and Layton who both put just wide.
The lads however stayed calm as they continued to push and just before half time we got a corner down the left which Layton stepped up to deliver a whipped cross catching the keeper out 2-1.
Half time was very much about telling the lads to keep pushing, playing our football and step up our chances in front of goal.
To say they delivered is an understatement, Layton took the ball in from the left created a bit space but on a tight angle he hit a fantastic effort which looped over the keeper into the far corner 2-2.
Harrison then had a couple of back to back chances both just going wide but our tails we certainly up.
It wasn’t long after that Layton danced down the right wing and pinged another rocket from distance, this time over the keeper into the far side to seal his hattrick 3-2 Moor.
A little change around seen Ben higher up the pitch niggling away and very nearly pinched one pressing up high but just couldn’t get the right angle and his effort blocked.
At the other end we limited their chances until they broke free but for an unbelievable last ditch block from Harrison to put it out for a corner.
Daryl then picked up the ball on the left and made some excellent passes today, this time in a really tight gap which had to be perfect and it was as he found Layton who chucked in a maradona turn before pulling the trigger firing into the bottom corner 4-2 Moor.
We then had a couple of great chances with freekicks from Harrison and Layton both unlucky.
Our opponents then got a freekick in a dangerous area however Joel who was upset with their second goal showed exactly what he’s about as they hammered the freekick which was flying in but for a top class save which was tipped over the bar 🧤
What a turn around and a top win for the lads, fully deserved 👏🏻
MOTM today went to Layton with some beauties today ⚽️😮‍💨

📣⚽️ Tonight we were invited down to play against Newcastle Academy and to say we’re proud of the lads is an understatement. They were fantastic throughout more than just competitive we battled all night long scoring plenty of goals and showed we deserved to be there 👏🏻
Special mention to Stevie & Neil @ New Durham AFC u7’s, for their support as we needed a minimum of 10 players so we invited them along, in what was an excellent collaboration between all of the lads. Worked really well considering they only trained last week together 🤝
All of the lads had a fantastic night 😁
Great to see Layton albeit in black and white instead of blue and white as well 💪🏻

📣⚽️ Today seen the lads back in league action against another top opposition.
We started the game strong as we took the lead through Harrison with a great strike outside the box.
From there we switched off on a dribble in which they took advantage of to take it to 1-1.
We then went ahead again when Layton pulled the ball back to Lewis who hit a first time sweet shot which flew past the keeper 2-1 Moor.
After the restart Lewis showed some good feet inside before the ball found Ben who was unlucky as they made a great block.
We then had a goal kick which got played out but our opponents pressed really well first half nicked the ball and fired home to make it 2-2 half time.
Second half started with us straight on the attack we were pushing for a 3rd when they cleared their lines and Joel was really unfortunate to not keep hold of the ball 2-3 to our opponents.
From there we took control of the game and Daryl was a constant threat out left doing excellent to get us up the pitch and was unlucky to not find himself on the scoresheet, great graft from him as always 💪🏻
It was some fantastic play down the right from Layton and Harrison which got us level, Layton skipped passed his player and played the ball into Harrison who bounced it back to Layton who jinxed passed a couple before a top finish with his left foot across the keeper giving him no chance 3-3.
With plenty of time on the clock and Ben showing brilliant defensive performance we limited their chances and it was some great play down the left when Ben played into Daryl who found Harrison who got brought down at the edge of the box giving us a great chance from a freekick. He stepped up himself to double his tally for the day as he hammered it in 4-3 Moor.
We had some excellent freekicks today throughout from Lewis first then Layton before Harrison’s goal off his and then Ben right at the death had another great freekick that just missed.
Top performance from the lads and a great win all round 👌🏻
MOTM’s today went to Layton and Harrison 🥇
We travel to Newcastle Academy on Monday which will be a fully deserved and excellent experience for them 😁

📣⚽️ Game day for the lads, with Lewis knocked over with a chest infection the 5 lads involved gave everything.
We started the game bright creating chances but for some good goalkeeping and couple of unlucky touches seen us then go a goal down against the run of play when the ball has bounced in off Harrison.
From there we took control again and it was a corner on the right from Layton which he floated a pinpoint pass into the box which Harrison made amends when he flew through the air to finish it 1-1.
We continued to push and had a number of chances through Layton, Harrison and Daryl but just didn’t get the rub of the green.
They had a good chance themselves but for a great save from Joel and one other which came off the post from another save from Joel.
Half time we went in level.
Ben fresh off his battling performance last week at the back showed much of the same as he played some excellent passes forward, which he showed again in the second half when he played a ball into Harrison who managed to break free and slot home 2-1 Moor.
From there the only real chance they created was a freekick which flew over the bar.
We were pushing for a 3rd when Daryl showed good feet to go through but a great last ditch tackle.
Layton had another which just zipped past the post and Harrison also put one just wide.
With about 3 minutes to go we conceded a dubious freekick which was fire in to take it to 2-2.
Layton then jinxed through before being fouled gave us a freekick opportunity which was a tight angle but he was unlucky as he just curled it wide.
We then got one more chance at the death when Layton found Ben in the middle but defender for back in to block the shot.
Unlucky on the day, we done enough to get the win but fair play to our opponents as they didnt give up.
Goals from Harrison ⚽️⚽️
