Northend United Youth Fc round-up: Hayburn the hero for under-13s

JAMES Hayburn was the toast of Northend United U13s when he popped up and hit an unstoppable volley in the second half of their match against Ballyclare Colts to secure all the points for his side at the weekend.

Elsewhere in the Belfast and East Antrim Youth League, the U12s exited the Knock-Out Cup when they lost in extra time against Newington, in a match where they missed a number of chances to make the game safe.

The U10s lost a very tight match at the top of the North West and Coleraine District Youth League against Bertie Peacocks Youths to a 1-0 scoreline.

In the National League, it wasn’t such a happy day for the U14s who controlled play for most of the first half, but lost to local neighbours Ballymoney United, who capitalised on goals late in both halves to kill off a spirited Northend display.

The U9s, U11s and U16s had no matches this week but all hope to get back in action next weekend.

The Dare to be Different project continued on Wednesday night at the Ballymena North Centre and the Football Development Centre also continued on Friday night at the same venue.
