MATCH REPORTS - 26/27

First game of the season for the salamanders away at York with an early afternoon kick off. The game started positive with well structured attacks from both teams but with minimal subs stokesley grew tired and a deflection into the D won York a short corner. Unfortunately a well placed drag flick slipped straight through the runners and the keepers 1-0 to city of York.

Positive start to the season for Stokesley 3s. Stokesley 3s made an excellent start to the new season with a convincing 4–0 victory over Thirsk 3s, delivering an encouraging performance and plenty of positives to take into the games ahead.

The league season is officially underway as Stokesley 2s travelled to Morpeth for the first game of the campaign and a chance to finally blow away some of the summer cobwebs.

Stokesley faced a tough test against a strong Tynedale side, with several new faces continuing to settle into the team and a number of players operating out of position due to availability.

Stokesley 3s faced Marton Furness 3s in their second game of the season, in what proved to be a valuable learning experience for a developing Stokesley side.

After a loss last week that shall not be named the salamanders were back in full force for their game against Sheffield Bankers. The defence looked normal again with Phil Rose in his rightful CB position hopes were high.

Coming soon.

Stokesley 3s battled back from two goals down to earn a well-deserved point away to Darlington 2s, in a match that showcased the team’s growing confidence, attacking intent and togetherness.
