MARDEN HIGH – 2 : 5 – MONKSEATON MIDDLE SCHOOL

Marden came unstuck at home to Monkseaton Middle School, but it wasn’t for the lack of trying in an evenly contested match. After going two down at half time, the home team missed a few chances to get back in the game, hitting the post from close range, and Monkseaton counter attacked to add two more goals.

Marden soon got their act together and pulled two back through lively striker Dan McGhee and a looping cross from Ben McDermott that dropped in at the front post.

But Monkseaton added a fifth and took home the points, leaving the Year 7s still looking for their first win of the season.
