YEAR 9: Whitley Bay 8-0 Marden

YEAR 10: George Stephenson 3-0 Marden

A tough opening encounter for the Year 9 boys, who last week went down 8-0 away to Whitley Bay High School.

Meanwhile, the Year 10s put in a spirited performance away to George Stephenson but were ultimately defeated 3-0, unfortunately hitting the post twice and failing to convert a second half penalty kick.

Both teams have a quick opportunity to make amends, with Year 10 at home to John Spence this Wednesday, and the Year 9s have back-to-back home games against Norham and St. Thomas More next week.
