Today, our Bishop Auckland U11’s got their season underway with an away fixture against Houghton U11’s.

With several players taking on new positions and the team experimenting with different combinations throughout the game, it was a great opportunity to put some of the things we’ve been working on in training into practice.

Houghton started the game strongly, but it wasn’t long before we settled into our rhythm and started to take control. There were plenty of excellent runs, with the players showing that they had listened to what we’ve been working on in training and putting it into action on the pitch.

Our fitness was also a huge positive today. The energy levels throughout the game were fantastic, and the players continued to work hard right until the final whistle.

Man of the Match

Ethan W

A fantastic first game for Ethan in a Bishop Auckland shirt. Playing at prop for the first time, he put in an excellent performance. His tackling was outstanding, and he showed plenty of strength when driving forward with the ball.

A brilliant effort from everyone today and a great way to start the season.

Well done, everyone!
