Hexham FC Junior Roundup 7-8 Jan 2012

A rain hit County cup weekend for Hexham which brought about mixed fortunes for their teams. After the heavy rain earlier in the week Dukeshouse was unavailable so thanks to some accommodating opponents matches were reversed or swapped to other pitches at short notice.

Hexham u11 Greens enjoyed a close victory against Corbridge, as always it's a tight encounter against United and at half time the score line proved this with both sides locked together goalless . With two closely matched sides it was always going to take a special goal to win this West Division semi-final and it came from a Will Roberts thunderbolt free kick, a tremendous effort. Patrick Lally won the MotM and he and the rest of the team will have to be on top form when the final comes around later in the year against Wylam Apollo.

In a great cup semi-final tie Stocksfield U12's repeated their triumph of last season, despite the very best efforts of Hexham u12's. In an even first half the home side converted 2 chances whereas Hexham drew a blank and had a mountain to climb in the second half.Almost immediately after the break David Scott, playing his best game of the season so far, slotted a ball through to George Cook who made no mistake from close range. Despite every effort from Hexham the Stocksfield defence remained resolute and their keeper made some great saves. Hexham man of the match Ben Moralee worked and competed tirelessly in midfield but his team failed to find an equaliser that would have sent the tie into extra time.

Hexham u15's also went out of the West Division cup by the same score 2-1 this time Haltwhistle were the victors, Connor Thompson was on the mark for Hexham.

Hexham u14's have had a terrific run in the NFA Tesco Cup getting to the Quarter final alongside some of the top sides in the county. The venue had to be changed to the full size pitch at the Wentworth and they came up against a very good North Shields team. When you factor into the equation they have not been able to play for over a month it was perhaps not such a surprise Hexham went down heavily
