HAT-TRICK OF SUCCESS FOR UNDER 14’s
“North Shields Under 14’s celebrated winning their third trophy of the season following a comprehensive 2-0 victory over Wallsend Community in the Colts Cup Final at the Blue Flames. Following their success in the North Tyneside Tournament and also the Divisional Cup, the Shields lads proved too strong for the resolute opponents. After a nervy start, Shields took the lead after 19 minutes after a fine flowing move involving Bailey, Kimber and Ravenhill resulted in skipper Louis Storey heading home at the far post. Several near misses then ensured the Wallsend lads were always in the hunt right up until Michael Elgie finished expertly from the inside left position with 15 minutes remaining. Shields then went close on several occasions and had a goal ruled out for offside before the final whistle went and the celebrations started.”

A completely one sided affair ensured the Shieldsmen had a comfortable passage into Round 2. A galliant visiting team never gave up the ghost, but the difference in ability was evident throughout.
Michael Elgie helped himself to six goals as the hosts went goal crazy at John Spence. Lewis Cardy also helped himself to a hat-trick and further goals from Peter Ravenhill (2), Alex Noble (2), Lewis Errington, Louis Storey and an unfortunate own goal topped off this cup tie.

Shields showed fantastic aptitude and attitude with this comprehensive victory over last seasons champions. A one-sided first half was illuminated by an excellent 25 yard dipping shot from Phil Kimber which left the home keeper grasping at thin air. Slack marking allowed Cramlington back into the game from their first real attack of the half. The second half began in similar vein as Shields tore into a shell shocked home side and goals by the ever reliable Peter Ravenhill and Kimber's second, meant the visitors were in total control. A late second from the hosts meant an anxious last few minutes, but the reality was the visitors deserved this fantastic victory.

NORTH SHIELDS 1 Wallsend BC 1
On a blustery September afternoon the spoils were shared as a depleted home side battled back bravely from a goal down to salvage a draw. Due to the loss of key players at such a late stage, Shields showed their resiliance with a creditable point against capable opponents. Stand in keeper Louis Storey was beaten after 20 minutes as the visitors took the lead with a cracking 20 yard effort. To the home side's credit, they battled back strongly and fully deserved their equaliser, coolly finished by the ever improving Alex Noble. Late chances were missed at both ends and the hosts were probably the more disappointed of the two sides.
