WITH the return of the wintry conditions at the weekend, Northend United Youth's only match to survive the weather was the under-11 team's match against Limavady Colts in the NIBFA Cup.
In a match where Northend didn't play to their full potential, in addition to some key decisions going against them, this led to a 6-2 defeat for the Ballymena side.

UNDER-11

Limavady United Colts 6, Northend United 2: Northend United Youth U11s travelled to Limavady for a NIBFA cup match but probably wished the match had been cancelled.

A combination of non tackling, lack of communication and debatable refereeing decisions had Limavady four-nil up at half time with no way back for United.

Limavady had Northend on the back foot from the kick off, but Northend broke away and from a tight angle, Zack Herbison did manage to get the ball over the keeper, only for it to hit the post and be cleared.

After ten minutes Limavady scored when their big forward turned and rifled the ball into the net, much to the displeasure of the Northend contingent, who felt the goalscorer had been in an offside position.

Shortly afterwards, Limavady Colts won a corner from which they scored their second goal.

Their third goal, again another contentious offside decision, caused the young Northend players' heads to drop.

Ben Sempey was replaced by Robbie Dennison but Limavady scored another goal to put the game safe by half time.

A quick shuffle and two substitutions were made at half time with Ryan Gordon and Matthew Adams replacing Crawford and Milligan, who both had picked up knocks from the hard hitting Limavady team.

A cross from the Limavady left winger to another player, who again appeared to be in an offside position, produced Limavady's fifth goal.Northend now had their best spell of the game and with it, Zack Herbison won a corner.
