THE UNDER-12s travelled to Hardwick for only their fifth league match of the season and triumphed 2-1. In a lively game, with both teams coming close early on, Eaglescliffe's Thomas Young and Jack Reay kept the Hardwick defence on their toes. The deadlock was broken in the second half when a long kick from keeper Joe Rafter was fed through to Young, who finished with a fine strike. Five minutes later, star man Charlie Hutchinson made it 2-0, but Hardwick never gave up and scored a great goal. However Elementis held on with a fine display from Matthew Doyle in defence.
