Kick off – SEEVIC College V Tyne Coast College

Just like the earlier 12pm kick off (Thomas Telford V Barking Abbey) the opening exchange was a midfield battle with Tyne Coast edging on the possession.   Moving into the second quarter of the game, Tyne Coast were knocking on the SEEVIC door and all the pressure paid off,  thanks to  two Barker (9) goals in the space of three minutes.  

Both of  Barkers’ goals came from good crosses into the box, the first of which whipped in by Brogden (8) and with Barker positioned goal side of the SEEVIC defender she only needed one touch to set and the  another to finish (34th minute). Just three minutes later, Tyne Coast’s Barker showed everyone her goal scoring instincts when she anticipated that  the defender would miss the clearing header and this time she only needed one touch, as she found the net for secod time  from 6 yard line (37th minutes).

The teams went in to the half time interval with the  score at SEEVIC College 0 – 2 Tyne Coast College.  

Half time – SEEVIC College 0 – 2 Tyne Coast College

After the break the Tyne Coast girls  showed no signs of letting up, Soulsby (7)  continued the goals following a brilliant drive and smash across goal to the opposite corner making it three-nil. SEEVIC’s captain Turner (9)  managed to lessen the goal deficit with a tremendous bit of individual skill when she plucked the ball out of the sky then,  flicking it over the onrushing defender, fired it  low into the bottom corner from 25 yards out (53rd minute).

The SEEVIC comeback was short lived though  as Barker completed her hat-trick on the 58th minute  when the ball dropped to her after  Farrel (4) did well  keeping the  ball alive from an  in-swinging corner. Tyne Coast’s Farrel found then herself on the scoresheet after she accurately placed a free-kick in the SEEVIC top corner for five. Nelson (3) added her name to the list of Tyne Coast goal scorers after finding some space in the box and cooly finishing for the  sixth.

Rather fittingly it was the Tyne Coast captain and the Player of the Match, Barker who picked up her forth and final goal of the game. Throughout the day she had  positioned herself in the right place at the right time and it was the same story with her forth, giving a smart first time finish of 7.  

Full time – SEEVIC College 1 – 7 Tyne Coast College

The final score at  Mill Farm  finished SEEVIC College 1 – 7 Tyne Coast College.  Congratulations to Tyne Coast College on earning the title of 2018/19 ESFA U18 Colleges’  Cup for Girls National Champions!

Kick off –  Thomas Telford School  V Barking Abbey School

Right from the get go, it was clear to see we were going to be treated to highly competitive game with both teams showing huge amounts  quality  all over the pitch. The first ten minutes was a cagey affair with both teams keeping things tight at the back  as   Telford’s Chase (4)  controlled  the midfield and Willams (4)  marshaled the Barking Abby  defensive line  extremely  well.

20 minutes on the clock and  Barking Abbey started to get a foothold into the game with   Barking Abbey’s  Barrett (6)  looking the most likely to create a chance however, it wasn’t her time to break the deadlock. The first goal of the game came from Jennings (10)  of Thomas Telford after Teare made her way to the byline and cut the ball across the box, finding   Jennings at the back post who smashed it home for one. Jennings’ goal gave Thomas Telford School a one-nil lead heading into half time.

Half time  –  Thomas Telford School  1 – 0  Barking Abbey School

After the half time interval, Thomas Telford came out fast, putting the pressure on Barking Abbey; firing shots and forcing some early corners but failing to capitalise  on any chances.

Around the 70th minute Barking Abbey were threatening to get the equaliser but in a similar fashion to the first half, Thomas Telford showed their cutting edge to get the second goal of the game. Like deja vu, the goal came from another dribble to  the byline and a cut back into the box; only this time Bramford (2)  was the provider and Shirely (17)  was at the back post to score in the 85th minute.

Full  time  –  Thomas Telford School  2 – 0  Barking Abbey School

 

The final score at  Mill Farm  finished Thomas Telford School  2 –  0  Barking Abbey.  Congratulations to  Thomas Telford   on earning the title of 2018/19 ESFA U18 Schools’  Cup for Girls National Champions!
