Ferryhill Athletic u18s signed off their successful season with a superb 3-0 victory against a tough Darlo Spraire.
Having only 11 players due to holidays, work and injuries didn’t stop them, with probably the best team performance of the season.
Three superb goals from Adam with low shot in the first half, Nathan was superb strike from a low corner, and then Will who played the one-two in midfield and ran 40yrds to slot it beyond the keeper.
What a season it has been!
Invincibles. Champions. Proud
Not only was it their last game of the season, for players and coaches, but it was also their last ever game at youth level of grassroots football. What a way to sign off, being league champions and not losing a game. Competing against some strong teams, some of which are affiliated with Northern League clubs.
“This is the best squad of players we’ve ever had, not only good players but all top lads too! We’ve known these lads for many years and seen them grow from kids to young men… it’s been amazing journey!”
“We’ve been involved in kids football for the last 12yrs, starting out as parents helping out, before becoming managers shortly after. There’s been some highs and lows, but we wouldn’t change any of it. From Ferryhill Town Youth to Ferryhill Athletic, we’d like thank all players, their parents, friends, family, supporters and all of our sponsors (Razors Edge, GO Cladding, Mattions Bakery, Masters Of Durham, Ministry of Dance)” says Martin Overend and Andy Dunn.
They move onto adult football next season, and most of the lads hopefully will follow. Look out for Ferryhill Athletic Development to compete in the Wearside League 2. For any new players who are interested, please get in touch!
