New Marske Make It A Double
Monday 5 May

NEW MARSKE Seniors picked up their second trophy of the season after a 3-1 win over Annfield Plain in the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup Final at Gurney Street this morning. Martin Say opened the scoring with a shot from distance just short of the quarter hour mark but Annfield Plain drew level scoring direct from a free kick on 30 minutes. Two second half goals from Sean Mackin secured the trophy and keep New Marske on target for an impressive treble. New Marske will face Wolviston in the League Cup final to be held at Wolviston on Wednesday 14 May after they defeated today's opponents in their semi-final clash 2-0 on Saturday.

Under 10's Are Champions, Too
Thursday 1 May

NEW MARSKE U-10's last night emulated the senior's title success by securing the TJFA NR Division 2 title with a 3-0 win over Beechwood. After a nervous and goalless first half, New Marske opened the scoring just two minutes after the break when BILLY WARD danced through the Beechwood defence before smashing the ball into the top corner. Two goals from JAKE STEEL settled the game; his first a tap in after Jack Morris' shot stopped short of the goal line, and his second a far post header from Billy Ward's cross.

Well done, boys!

We Are The Champions
Tuesday 28 April

THE SENIORS wrapped up the Wearside League title in emphatic style last night. Needing just a point to be crowned champions, New Marske put five past third placed Sunderland Ryhope without reply in front of the Gurney Street crowd.

MARTIN SAY got the ball rolling heading New Marske in front after just 8 minutes and MICHAEL MACKIN's deflected shot made it 2-0 three minutes later. A misplaced Ryhope back pass fell kindly for DANE BRECKON who made no mistake to complete the first half scoring. Just short of the hour mark, SEAN MACKIN added the fourth and ANDREW MITCHELL's simple tap in rounded off a memorable night.

Poem

They stand on a field with their hearts beating fast
The whistle has blown, the die has been cast.
A goal at this moment would send the team home.
Mum and Dad cannot help, he stands all alone
The ball near his feet, he kicks and it misses.
There’s a moan from the crowd, some boo’s and some hisses
A thoughtless voice cries "Take off the bum"
tears fill his eyes, it’s no longer fun
If your tempted to shout or groan, Remember
it’s a child who stands all alone
So open your heart, give them a break.
It’s moments like this, a player you make.
Keep this in mind and please don’t forget
They’re only Children, not Adult’s yet
