East Coast travelled to play BORO on Sunday in 2 friendly fixtures.

Middlesbrough  7  v  5  East Coast

The first saw the men’s team take on a mix of Boro first team, trialists and reserve players.

After a poor first half showing East Coast were down 4 v 1 but a more spirited display in the second, including a Jamie Osbrone hatrick, saw coast hit back.  Kieran Link also replied but Boro eventually came off winners 7 v 5.

Debutant from Whitby, Phil Spencer 19, impressed for East Coast which is good for the club.  With players from Scarborough, Whitby & Bridlington on show the club is extending its pull of players and is benefitting from the links that have been made.

Middlesbrough U 15′s   10  v  2  East Coast U 15′s

Middlesbrough were too strong for East Coast’s young team in their first ever game.  Coach Adam Stubbs has done a great job putting the team together in the last 3 months but inexpereince showed in their first game.

Middlesbrough took 2 or 3 fewer touches on the ball and passed it well to create opportunities which they took well.

East Coast had thier moments one 10 minute spell in the second half but could not find a way past the Boro keeper who produced a string a fine saves.

Thanks to Damon and the team for running the day for us.

East Coast but up a spirited display against the current Midland National League leaders in Saturday’s friendly.  Full report to follow….

Team United Birmingham & East Coast

Team United Birmingham & East Coast

Real Mabrid’s Gerard Ferre produced a brilliant display for East Coast Futsal Club to score 5 goals in an exciting encounter at the North Solihull Sports Centre, Birmingham.

A team of 10 travelled also including Jamie Osborne from All Stars and Josh Beach from Snainton. Kieran Link, Ryan Hunter, Dan Marston, Ryan Goodworth, Joe Sunter, Luke Foster & Steve Brennan made up the rest of the squad.

It is Brennan’s aim to play the best possible competition before heading to the national league play offs in July and Team United Birmingham are high flying this year. Manager Ikhlaq Hussain has built a strong squad including former Premiership star Richard Sneekes, Engalnd Futsal players Nick Colley and Thomas Obasi as well as influential captain Emanual Guayas.

East Coast flew out of the traps and went into a 1 v 3 lead, 2 from Ferre and a skillful 3rd from Foster. Guayas was proving a handful for Birmingham and his trickery led to pulling back level. The goals kept flowing with the half time score 7 v 7, Ferre with 4 for East Coast.

It was the experience that counted in the end, Sneekes leading his team with a commanding second half performance, including 4 goals and organising his defence to limit East Coast to few chances. Nino Amuli also hit a hat trick for the hosts as they dominated possession in the second half. Their fast movement and quickness of skill was impressive.

For East Coast it was a great experience and the young team learnt a lot. We want to thank Team United & Ikhlaq for organising the game, and look forward to playing them in the future.

East Coast Futsal were invited to play Leeds Futsal Reserves before the National league game between Leeds & Tranmere 18/4/10.

It was a perfect opportunity for us to invite a few trialist along to join the squad.  Albeit a shorter game the squad of 12 gelled nicely and played some very impressive Futsal against a Leeds team made up of fringe, uni and Barca players and trialists.

East Coast handed trials to Josh Crislow from All Stars, Gerrard Fenne from Real Mabrid and Nick Van East Riding’s keeper. 

Stuart Wallace, fresh from 7 goals last week in the league, fired East Coast ahead after a spell of good possession but Leeds hit back on the break with a fluent counter attack to make it 1 v 1.  Leeds Keeper Jon Davison saved well from Luke Foster and Jamie Osborne on a number of occasions and Nick Van made a instinctive stop from close range to keep it level.

But it was the trickery of Fenne that put East Coast ahead, turning two players to poke home and leave East Coast 1 v 2 at half time.

The second half was more open with some end to end action, both teams hitting the post on 3 occasions and creating chances, but it was East Coast who maintained possession toward the end of the game Joe Sunter having 2 efforts saved in the closing stages and a tight defence ensuring the win.

Results v Leeds Futsal

Game 1 – East Coast 3 v Leeds Futsal 6

Leeds defended well in game one hitting us 4 times on the break to be 4-0 up half time.  Keeper John Davison was in fine form for Leeds at the start of the game saving 5 efforts on target.

A second half brace from Jamie Osborne either side of a Leeds goal and one from East Riding’s Dave Sellers made it 3 v 5 to Leeds but as East Coast pressed another slick Leeds counter made it 3 v 6.

Game 2 – East Coast 7 v Leeds Futsal 7

For the second week running a game has finished 7 v 7 at Bridlington Sports Centre!  Again Leeds dominated the first half, with a 1 v 4 scoreline.  Our young side did well but could not contain Leeds who raced into a 1 v 6 lead, with only a Luke Cowling goal registering for East Coast.

However, as you can find out in Futsal, momentum can shift quickly and in a crazy 10 minutes Jamie Osborne hit 3, Dave Sellers and player manager Steve Brennan replied before Ryan Goodworth hit a screamer to take East Coast into a 7 v 6 lead!

With 2 minutes left Leeds equalised through ex professional Junior Roberti, in a cameo appearance, to leave the game tied and all watching having seen some excellent Futsal action. It was an awesome day all round.

Thanks

Thanks so much to Junior Roberti & Martin Oxley, from Leeds Futsal for bringing over a very good Leeds squad!  It was great to have you as the first national league side to play our home venue!

Trialist, Jamie Osborne impressed with 2 goals in game 1 and a hatrick in game 2, regular Dan Marston is improving all the time and 15 year old Kieran Link’s defending has come on really well.

Ryan Goodworth our keeper must get a mention.  5 months ago he was gutted not to make the national league play off games but he has come back fitter, stronger and a better player in goal.  He even scored the best goal of the day!

The best outcome for East Coast was at one stage we had 4 out of 5 players on the pitch 17 or under against players with National league apprerances this year.  This is a brilliant expereince for our young team!

Thanks also to East Coast Coach, Adam Stubbs, for his hard work in training the last 4 weeks to prepare the lads, and everyone who came along to watch.  We hope you enjoyed the game.
