This week's youth team round up
By Ray Simpson
How the youth teams are faring
Here's the latest on our youth teams:
Highlight game:
Darlington FC Under 14s enjoyed a convincing performance on the weekend, beating Richmondshire Pro Player 7-0. The players’ development focus last week was to press high and focus on attacking turnovers in the final third, and we definitely put it into action on gameday! After taking a 1-0 lead in the first minute, DFC coasted through the game, Lincoln Shiels making it 2-0 after 10 minutes. Leon Reed then won, and converted a penalty before setting up Shiels to grab a first half hat trick.

Despite an applaudable performance by our hosts, Darlington, and Lincoln, scored another 3 in the second half to take the three points. Well done to Reuben Fitzsimons, and his back 4, on a brilliant 3rd clean sheet in 4 games, as well. We’re all really looking forward to watching this group of players keep developing and growing together! Sponsored by Vision 34 and Quest Waste Management.
