FC Hartlepool Athletic vs NES Demons

Cracking game of football this morning at Downhill Hub as both sides battled to keep hold of their 100% records.

Athletic played some great football in the first period moving the ball quickly front to back. Kalem gave Athletic a deserved lead after latching onto a through ball from Theo and finishing well. NES drew the game level just before half time as Athletic struggled to clear the ball following a scramble in the box.

Athletic conceded a penalty early in the second half but George stood firm pulling off a great save. This sparked Athletic into life and the boys soon went into a healthy lead through Jenson, Kalem and Teddy.

The final stages proved difficult for Athletic playing into a strong wind. NES took advantage and pulled two goals back to create a nervy last few minutes. But Athletic dug deep and battled till the final whistle, taking all 3 points!

Well done to George & Kalem - MOTM 🏆👏

FC Hartlepool Athletic vs Leon FC Blues

Athletic welcomed Leon FC Blues to Brierton for a friendly last night - with both sides holding a minutes silence, showing their respects to PC Matthew Blades.

Leon got off to a flying start scoring two early goals. Athletic brushed themselves down after the early set back and started to play some good football. Athletic deservedly pulled a goal back when Teddy pinched the ball off the Leon keeper and finished into an empty net.

Second half was evenly matched for long periods with both teams battling hard and creating chances. But Leon managed to capitalise on a couple of mistakes late on to finish comfortable winners.

The boys should be proud with the way they competed against a side 5 divisions higher. Plenty of positives and learnings to take away.

Well done to George Crump - MOTM 🏆👏
