The year 3/4 football team reached the final of the Durham County Cup on Tuesday after a stunning comeback in their final match to top their group. They lined up alongside Colegate, Ousten from Durham and Rickleton in Washington in what was a tough semi final draw.
The first game was a fairly comfortable 3-1 win over Colegate, although it is fair to say that we didn’t play as well as we can. Aaran Sutton, Nick Hall and Lewis McNall with the goals. Next up was Ousten. Twice they took the lead and twice we fought back to grab a well earned 2-2 draw. A screamer of a volley and an own goal helping us on our way.
In the final game we were to play Rickleton, knowing that only a win would get us through. We had improved as a team as the tournament went on and this was by far the best performance. But despite passing the ball well, tackling hard and running their little heart out Rickleton still went in 1-0 up at half time. The second half was a different story and we were soon back on level terms when a Lewis McNall shot was deflected into the net. With a minute to go Aaran Sutton grabbed a winner that only just crossed the line after bouncing off the bar. The last few seconds really dragged but eventually the final whistle went and the final place was booked.

Well done to all – Jamie, Carl, Kieran, Kieran, Nick, Aaran, Megan, Callum and Lewis

The Final will Be played at Red Rose Primary School, County Durham, On Tuesday 13th May.
