⚽️ MATCH REPORT ⚽️
Alnwick Town Percy Rovers FC 7–2 North Tyne & Westholme FC
Today saw a very changed North Tyne side take to the road, with a much-changed squad — but still very much a squad capable of competing! 💪
Alnwick won the toss and chose to switch sides, giving Tyne the kick-off and, fair play, Tyne were facing straight into the sun and wind. 🌞💨
And off we went…
The ball was being moved around the pitch, albeit sloppy as hell! 😂
Just 5 minutes in, Alnwick took the lead to make it 1–0.
Tyne tried to go again and string some passes together, but we were lost. Sloppy passes, lack of communication — the lot. We were completely off the gas, and Alnwick absolutely ran riot, taking the game to 5–0.
HALF TIME — 5–0
Then came the changes.
DAVEY slapped in some big changes to both formation and personnel, and Tyne came flying out of the traps.
Passing. Moving. Communication. Competing for the ball.
It was like something special had been found in the multipack of water! 😂💧
A completely different Tyne side came out for the second half.
Alnwick did manage to add another after pinging a long ball forward to make it 6–0, but Tyne kept battling.
Some really nice passing eventually won us a free kick. Joel pinged it into the mixer, where Alfie brought it down, skipped past a player and calmly tapped it home.
6–1! ⚽️🔥
Suddenly Tyne had momentum and looked like a completely different team.
Then came another long ball over the top. Two Tyne players collided, but Matty was on a different planet, producing an unbelievable lob over the keeper to make it:
6–2! 🚀⚽️
Unfortunately, centre-back Nobby had to come off following the collision, which meant more changes to midfield and centre-back.
That wiped out the bench for the final 12 minutes.
Alnwick then regained control , finding space to play some free-flowing football until Lathen took one for the team and got a light 🟨 , which saw Alnwick have a throw in and do down the line again with some passing and movement for Shaun M to come through like a hgv an take the player out an receive his first 🟨, Alnwick eventually got the ball moving and switch the play to then add another to make it:
7–2.
🔚 FULL TIME: ALNWICK TOWN PERCY ROVERS FC 7–2 NORTH TYNE & WESTHOLME FC
Definitely a game of two halves for Tyne.
The first half was one to forget, but the response after the break was a completely different story. The lads showed fight, competed and played some really good football.
Credit to Alnwick Town Percy Rovers for the win. 👏
And a massive THANK YOU for the hospitality after the game — very much appreciated! 🤝🍻
