Hebburn Under 13s  1 Darlington Wearside Youth Under 13s 6

Darlington Wearside Youth U13s won a hard fought premier league game   against a very hardworking Hebburn Boys team, goals from Jaxon Briggs 3, Jamie Dodds, Daren Robertson and Ryan Smithwhite were enough for Darlington to progress.

Darlington played some extremely fast flowing football from the start and it took until the 34^th minute when Jamie Dodds was set up by an excellent piece of work on the right hand side by Tommy Hunt who turned his defender inside out and passed the ball to Jamie to slot home. Half time 1 – 0 to Darlington

The second half started with some positional changes from coach Daren Robertson Snr and it paid off straight away with Jaxon Briggs latching onto a defensive splitting pass from Kieran Wakefield which Jaxon slotted home.

Hebburn Boys were still pushing forward and got their rewards when Jake Ord ran through the middle of the park to unleash a power shot which gave keeper Alex Bates no chance. Darlington pushed forward again and this led to the third goal from Jaxon Briggs, who pounced on a header from Tommy Hunt which hit the bar and rebounded.

This goal seemed to knock the stuffing out of Hebburn and Darlington then started to control the game and another great bit of intricate play at the edge of the Hebburn box led to Jamie Dodds supplying a wonderful pass to Daren Robertson jnr who placed his shot into the left hand corner of the net. Jaxon Briggs then broke the offside line to score his hatrick goal.

Hebburn then threw caution to the wind and went four up front and it played into Darlington’s hands when a pass from Thomas Nesbit to Tommy Hunt who hit a sublime pass to Ryan Smithwhite who coolly rounded the keeper to the sixth and final goal of the game.

The club would like to take this opportunity to wish both Tommy Hunt  and coach Daren Robertson snr a happy birthday.
