Sat. 8th Oct.2011 – Stockton 6ths v Morpeth 4ths
Score:- 2-2
Scorers:- I.Foster (2)
MOM:- I.Foster
Morpeth took to the pitch in Billingham against aStocktonside fielding a mixture of youth and experience. Both teams starting the game fighting for possession however it wasn’t long until the home side started to take control with Morpeth having to play on the counter-attack. Stockton made us of the ball by taking the lead through some strong play, this was then doubled 5 minutes later, the away side managed to hold on from here to go into have time 2 goals down with A.Evans and A.Mackay combining to look most dangerous.
The northerners came out strong, determined not to let the match go by and dominated play, with P.Foster combining with M.Murray who is continuing to progress moving into the midfield for the 2nd half. The breakthrough finally came from I.Foster who blasted a shot from the top of the D that cracked into the teasiders backboard. After scoring a goal Morpeth were on the ascendancy, leading to the equalizer when a ball was played to I.Foster who took control of the ball and coolly slotted it into the goal for his brace.
Morpeth’s point was much deserved for a steely determination not giving up at any stage, and will take much from this performance into next weeks home game against Redcar
