Kader FC U19s 2 v Redcar Newmarket U19s 3 - 08/04/18 - ground #465 - Hustlers Trust Pavillion 3G

a few weeks ago on twitter, I noticed that Kader were adding the finishing touches to their new 3G pitch. I'd already visited the venue to watch Whinney Banks in the teeside league, so this gave me an opportunity for a new local tick :)
the game was cracker! I shook hands with the Redcar manager before the game, he says they usually win when I turn up! This was only their 4th win of the season & my 3rd game watching them! Redcar scored the best goal of the game, which happened to the first of the game, a great curling shot! taking pics at 3G/4G grounds isn't pretty at the best of times, but at kader, supporters are only allowed to watch from outside the cage (only players & staff allowed inside). final score could've been 5-5 easily. hopefully next season will bring more new grounds to visit in the North Riding League :)

season 2017/18 = 24 new grounds , 141 goals

Hartlepool Youth U19s 0 v Redcar Newmarket U19s 8 - 10/09/17 - ground #448 - Tech Rugby Club

arrived about 5 mins before k.o. th wind was wild & felt like it could spoil the the game. Redcar were 2-0 at HT, then just like last Sunday, the floodgates opened and the goals flowed. the 8th & final goal was nothing more than a comedy sketch !   the keeper made a save (one of not very many) the ball fell to a defender on the line whose attempted clearance struck a teammate & rebounded in.
after the game, I walked into town via the local sainsburys for cans, then had a well required pint of strongbow in spoons before train back home :)

season 2017/18 - 7 new grounds , 52 goals

Billingham Synthonia U19s 3 v Redcar Newmarket U19s 6 - 03/09/17 - ground #446 - SRC Sports Centre

Thanks to this new league, I've got a few new local grounds to do on a Sunday afternoon :)
1st half was fairly even with redcar maybe just edging it, 2-2 at the break,but redcar took their chances in the 2nd half and went 6-2 up. Synners pulled one back with about the last kick of the game. all being well, I should be at Hartlepool youths next sunday who play redcar Newmarket.
