🟡 U11 Girls - League Debut 🔵

Having formed in January this year, today has been a long time coming for both coaches & players with their league debut in the Durham FA Sunday league.

A battling performance from all the girls in a competitive league was reward for all the hard work so far.

Another fantastic addition to our club & a team just at the start of their journey with a lot of success to come 🔵🟡🔵🟡

Defeat on the road for our U14’s. The lads just weren’t at the races today. Work to be done before next week where we look to bounce back in a tricky away fixture.

We go again! 💪🏼

🏆 Hartlepool St Francis Tournament Winners 🏆

3rd time lucky this summer for our U11’s after already losing in two tournament finals this summer, they finally lifted a winners trophy just before the start of the season.

A slow start in the group games saw the team ride their luck, picking up two draws in the first two games then a fortunate win in the 3rd game. Another draw in the 4th and a big win in the 5th game saw Cockfield place 2nd in the group.

A 2-0 win the semifinals was an improvement on the group game against the same opponent which was a scrappy draw earlier in the day.

The boys really turned up in the final though & dominated throughout. Countless chances were saved & put wide until 30 seconds from the end when Leo grabbed the winner.

Great performances throughout the side to lift the trophy & goals for Leo, Freddie, Preston & Harry across the day.

A great way to go in to our first season as a team 🟡🔵🟡🔵

The club welcomes two new teams for the 2026/27 with both girls & boys teams at U11.

They’ve both been in tournament action over the recent weeks with the girls competing at the JB Coaching tournament in Spennymoor & the boys coming runners up in both the Trimdon United tournament & the JB Coaching tournament.

Great additions to the club as we grow to 5 teams for next season 🟡🔵🟡🔵

U15s - MATCH REPORT

Redcar Rangers 2-1 Cockfield Juniors

Today we played our first game back after the Christmas break and first game in over a month due to postponements for bad weather.
The game started off in awful conditions and both teams struggled on a heavy pitch. After an even opening first 20-25 mins where both sides had chances to score, Redcar took the lead with a fine strike from outside the box. Cockfield continued to press for an equaliser before half time with Charlie leading the line superbly and a Jack M shot on the stroke of half time went just wide.

HT 1-0 Redcar

The start of the second half saw Cockfield on the front foot from the off forcing 6 corners in a row but we just couldn’t find a way through. With just under 15 mins to go Lucas finally found an equaliser our second half performance deserved with a poachers finish inside the box⚽️ The boys pushed for a winner but with just over 5 mins to go Redcar scored to go 2-1 up and that’s unfortunately how the game ended.

FT 2-1 Redcar

MOTM

All the lads put a shift in today in horrible conditions but I’m going for Charlie who led the line brilliantly today and never stopped running and was unlucky not to get a goal, well played🙌

Thanks again for all your support and see you next week for training and another away match on Sunday

U13’s - Match Report

Redcar Town Royals 1-3 Cockfield Juniors

The boys travelled to Redcar today to play a very tough Royals team in the 2nd round of the challenge cup 🏆

Once again a very fiercely contested match just like the last time we faced each other, with both teams really going for it and some heavy challenges flying in all over the pitch. Our juniors started with confidence and played the better football from the off and capitalised on this when captain Tommy gave his team a deserved lead with a finely hit strike from distance. Competitor for goal of the season!
We continued to press for more but as the half went on Redcar started to work their way back into the game and began putting us under pressure. The half time whistle coming at the right time for our Juniors.

Half time 0-1

The second half, Redcar came out with much more urgency about their play and really began to put the boys under pressure. Our juniors had to dig deep for good periods but held their ground very well and limited them to minimal shots. The boys did have their chances to add to the score but Redcar themselves held strong.
Into the last 10 minutes, Redcar gained a corner kick, which was swung in brilliantly and was fired home by their attack to give them the equaliser.
With the game now looming towards the dreaded penalties, it honestly could have gone either way, but their goal seemed to give us more of a lift as we went straight on the attack. With still so much work to do, attacker Archie collected the ball outside the box, using his pace, power & skill managed to work his way through to goal and fire home to give his team the lead once more. The goal seemed to knock the stuffing from Redcar who switched off a little for the last few minutes, giving our juniors one more chance to go forward and fire another goal home from short range by Striker Jaxon, sealing our place into Round 3 of the challenge cup.

MOTM 🥇

Archie - Some solid stand out performances today from the boys who had to work hard for the result, but Archie once again with his physical presence and sheer will to press forward towards goal was fantastic today and takes our award for Man of the match 👏🏼

A fiercely contested match today with 2 very evenly matched teams. Proper Sunday league football!

Next up…..Same again! Back into league action against the Redcar Royals next Sunday. Another corker on the cards 💪🏼

Cockfield Juniors U15s 1-1 Coulby Newham Blues

The first game as head coach today for Neil whilst Andrew was unavailable, and we welcomed second in the league who were unbeaten so he was a bit nervous (was still awake at 2am this morning🙈😂 ) He didn’t need to be though as the lads were on it straight from kick off. Started the game well with the midfield playing some lovely stuff creating a couple of chances and our defence limiting them to shots from distance and this continued throughout the half. An excellent save from Jay before half time tipping one onto the crossbar kept the score 0-0 at half time.

Half time I asked the lads to just keep doing what they were doing as I felt a goal was coming if we carried on how we finished the first half. Early into the second half a goal mouth scramble in our box led to the opening goal for them. Our lads didn’t let their heads drop though and continued to play some really good football and just after the hour mark a lovely corner from Jack M was met at the back post by Lucas to head home a deserved equaliser⚽️The last 15 mins we continued to press but we couldn’t find the winner.

Full time 1-1

Goals 🥅

Lucas ⚽️

Man Of The Match

Hal, absolutely superb today with his tackling and all round display. If there was a heat map I don’t think there’s a blade of grass he didn’t cover, well done🙌 and happy birthday! (Good luck getting his strip clean Clare and Matt!)

Thanks again to all the lads and parents for your support.

Darlington Vikings U13s 3-1 Cockfield Juniors U13s

An away day trip to Darlington today for our U13s as we took on The Vikings in the Matchday 7 in the league.

After recent excellent performances, today our Juniors were just not at the races at all. A very tired and lethargic effort saw the team fall behind 2-0 within the 1st 10 minutes of the game. The boys slowly began to grow into the game, but had the wind knocked out of their sails when The Vikings broke away and scored a 3rd goal of the game to put the match almost to bed in the 1st half

Half time 3-0

The second half, an adjustment made in defence with Theo back where he plays best, our Juniors came out with much more purpose and energy. Despite their efforts, unfortunately the damage was already done in the 1st half. Our Juniors did manage to pull a goal back, a break away tussle with Archie & one of their defenders looked like Archie would score, only for their defender to get a foot on it and fire a goal past his own keeper. It was a great goal to be fair.

Full time 3-1

Back to the drawing board for the team. As always we must take the positives away with us and learn from the mistakes.

Both teams today paid tribute by holding a minute’s silence to remember our fallen. Which they both did impeccably👏🏼
Our juniors also sported their poppies with pride 🫡

Goals 🥅

Our Man Of The Match
Anthony 🥇

Started the game in defence like he has done in the last few matches, but in this game the defence were completely overrun. After the shuffle around he moved to a central midfield position which he seemed to thrive in. Excellent second half from Anthony, made himself an absolute nuisance and won just about every duel he came up against from then on.

Home game next week where we look to bounce back 💪🏼

🔵🟡⚽️

On a positive note, our juniors finally got to wear their new kits today! And don’t they look the part?! 😍
