Middleton Rangers U10 Hurricanes vs Bishop Auckland St Mary's
Overall another impressive display from the Hurricanes today.
The boys put in a strong first half display. Great work rate and constant pressure made it difficult for their opponents to advance with the ball.
Some really good individual quality and team play led to plenty of chances being created and finished.
In the second half the levels dropped slightly, but still an impressive performance all round.
Well done boys!

Hat-trick today for Tommy, showing a striker's instinct to make sure he was in the right place to get his goals.
Tommy showed some really good build up play today and is getting better every week. Well done Tommy
Match Report
U8 Spitfires vs Hardwick FC U8
Match report courtesy of Katie (Ted’s Mam)
What a game! It was fantastic to have Ozzy back after a few weeks out, making his return in style with two brilliant first half goals! Harrison, Ernst, Aidan and Luke worked tirelessly, putting the opposition under pressure throughout, while Ted at the back and Ayan in goal kept things tight, making sure chances for Hardwick were few and far between.
The second half was just as exciting, with the Spitfires boys showing no signs of letting up! There were some absolutely fantastic passes, strong tackles, brilliant runs down the wings and some great saves. Harrison found the net again, and the boys continued to work brilliantly together as a team right up until the final whistle.
It was a close and competitive game, and every single one of the boys should be so proud of their performance!
Parents POTM: Ted 🏆
Coaches POTM: Ayan 🏆
A special mention to our defensive dream team! Ted and Ayan worked brilliantly together throughout the game, helping to keep the box well protected and making life difficult for the opposition.
Amazing effort boys! Loads of positives to take away. Keep up the fantastic work Spitfires! ⚽️🔥

Middleton Rangers Hurricanes U11s vs Saltburn Athletics U11s
Today’s result may not have reflected the effort, determination and quality our boys put into the game, but they certainly gave us plenty to be proud of! 💙
From some fantastic passing and brilliant defensive work to a keeper who was absolutely on fire 🔥, the boys showed real determination throughout. They created plenty of opportunities in front of goal, battled hard to win possession and kept the pace and energy going right until the final whistle.
Every single player gave their all, and that’s what matters. All coaches and parents are incredibly proud of the effort shown today. 👏
❤️ A moment of respect: A big thank you to all coaches and players from both teams who came together to observe a minute’s silence in honour of Remembrance Sunday. A lovely moment of respect and reflection from everyone involved. 🌺
A special shout-out to the boys proudly showing off their brand-new kit! Looking smart, Hurricanes! 💙
A huge thank you to our team sponsor Eastbourne Park Community Hub for their support. We really appreciate it! 🙌

Newton Aycliffe U9’s v Middleton Rangers U9’s
Middleton travelled to Newton Aycliffe today looking to build on recent positive performances.
After an impeccably observed minutes silence, Newton Aycliffe started on the front foot, pressing Middleton into making mistakes from which hosts capitalised.
Middleton couldn’t get any rhythm going and Newton Aycliffe came forward in waves and stretched the lead with several more well taken goals.
The half time deficit looked to be unassailable but the coaches’ team talk inspired the greatest come back this team has ever produced.
Every player picked up their game and Middleton played some exceptional football in the second half both in and out of possession.
The never say die attitude was great to watch and every player should be very proud of themselves today. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

U12 Match Report – Middleton Rangers Hurricanes vs NYSA
The U12s put in a fantastic shift today against NYSA, earning themselves a hard-fought draw in a game that demanded plenty of hard work, determination and commitment from start to finish.
The lads battled for every ball, worked tirelessly for each other and showed great character throughout the game. It wasn’t an easy afternoon, but the boys never shied away from the challenge and continued to put the effort in right until the final whistle.
What was particularly pleasing to see was the work rate and togetherness across the whole team. Every player played their part, whether that was winning tackles, tracking back, making important challenges or working hard to create opportunities going forward.
There were plenty of tired legs by the end, but that was a reflection of just how much the boys had put into the game. They ran their socks off and showed exactly what it means to play for each other.
Well done, lads. A brilliant team effort and plenty of positives to take into next week. 🟧⚽
