Junior / Youth Match Results

TARANAKI YOUTH LEAGUE FINAL

SPOTSWOOD 1st X1 (0) v FDMC DEVELOPMENT (2)

FDMC DEVELOPMENT cruised to a 2-0 victory in the Youth Finals on Saturday as they totally outplayed near rivals Spotswood in a tense encounter. Two goals from Mark MCLACHLAN fired them into top spot and capped a classy performance.

The first goal was an instinctive strike on the volley, which young MCLACHLAN guided into the top corner of the net. He then got up and dusted himself down from a heavy challenge in the penalty area to slot a well taken penalty and extend the lead with 10 minutes to go.

Spotswood squandered a final chance to grab a consolation goal from the penalty spot with minutes left to play and the scoreline remained 2-0 at the final whistle.

A great win to cap a superb season - well done to all of the players and to coach John FLETCHER who has had a significant influence on these young boys.

FDMC CELTIC (2) v HIGHLANDS BECKHAMS (1)

MOSQUERA and MELODY grab the glory as the Celtics pip the Beckhams to come equal top!!

A fabulous win in the final game of the season, saw FDMC CELTIC grab three extremely vital points against near rivals Highland Beckhams to finish equal top of the 13.1 division on points.

With points not being carried forward from Round One the final placings did little to reward a talented young side or reflect their early dominance - as they remained unbeaten for the entire first half of the season.

However, they can all be very proud of their efforts and the results have reflected some hard work by a number of people.

Well done boys!!
