Portrush U10s 1 Northend U9s 4 Saturday 14th April 2012

Northend U9's put in their best performance of the season so far to see off the bigger and older Portrush team. The game started with Portrush coming out with gun's a blazing but the Northend team rode the storm and when the ball was played out quickly to Charlie Metrustry, he turned his marker inside-out to square the ball to Christy McKillop who struck the ball first time and watched it fly into the net to put United 1-0.

Northend then took over and started to play total football and should of scored more goals before half-time. Charlie Metrustry was having a big influence on the game and could have scored himself with a high shot at goals which went narrowly wide.

All the Northend players were in top form and it was not long before they got their second when Christy McKillop got his second. Then Callum Kilgore scored the third with a well taken goal again set up by Charlie Metrustry,

Number four quickly followed when McKillop scored his third to keep Northend well on top. Portrush scored late on to make the final score 4-1. Oisin O'Mullan at right-back, with his surging runs, and Charlie Metrustry in midfield, where men of the match.

Limavady U9s 1 Northend U9s 1 Saturday 31st March 2012

This was a cracker of a match with both teams a credit to the Coleraine and District League with their fast flowing football. Northend started slowly with Limavady being more in control of the early minutes but Oisin O'Mullan and Christy McKillop started to get into the game and were using the ball well with pin-point passing to Caolan McCarroll upfront and with Ferris, Campbell and McQuillan at the back cutting out any attacks. The game really kicked in when the Limavady midfielder hit a shot from fifteen yards out and forced McSparran in the Northend goal into a brillant save. Northend then went up the field and scored when McCarroll passed to McKillop who then quickly passed to O'Mullan who used both feet to skip pass the last defender and coolly slot into the bottom corner. Limavady quickly responded when they hit the crossbar but Northend should of added more goals before half-time. Half time score 1-0 to Northend

This was a real ding-dong half with both teams counter attacking and the whole Northend team had to dig in at times to prevent Limavady from scoring and with Ciaran Campbell in outstanding form they were keeping them out. Northend should have when further infront but their final pass let them down. Limavady got back into the game when their winger passed the ball across the Northend box and somehow founded it's way into the Northend goal to level the score. On the day a draw was a fair result for two teams who wanted to play football.

In a very quiet first half were both teams cancelled each other out the game came to life in the second-half when Calum Kilgore scored for Northend when he caught the ball on the half volley and smashed it in of the far post and into the Coleraine net.

Northend's joy was short lived when Coleraine responded with a well taken goal when a long ball bounced over two Northend players and the Coleraine player took his shot well when he placed the ball into the bottom corner of the Northend net to level the score. The score remained the same until the final whistle.

Bertie Peacocks U10s 4 Northend U9s 0 Saturday 3rd March 2012

Northend's U9 were on a good run of late but the older and very physical Bertie Peacock stopped them from extending their run but the Northend boys gave a good a count of themselves going in at half-time 1-0 down.

In the second half, Northend were still passing the ball around well and had a few chances to level the score and when Peacock's won the ball Euan McSparran in the Northend goal was able to pull of three great saves to keep the score 1-0 but as the game went on Peacock's scored three very late goals
