Thirsk Falcons U14s Clarets vs Eaglescliffe (Away)...

A game of highs, heartbreak, and hard lessons.

From the first whistle, the tempo was fierce. We came out with purpose, pressing high and moving the ball with confidence.

Jack C was electric, striking twice in the first half to give us a deserved 2-0 lead.

We looked composed, absorbing pressure and managing their dangerous front three with grit and discipline.

But football is a game of moments. Just before the break, a lapse in our box allowed Eaglescliffe to bundle in a scrappy goal. 2-1. The momentum shifted.

The second half began with a gut punch – an injury and two goals conceded in quick succession.

The game turned physical, vocal, and emotionally charged. We were dragged into a battle, and for a moment, our rhythm faltered.

Yet this team doesn’t fold. We regrouped, found composure, and Jack C stepped up again to complete his hat-trick and level the game at 3-3.
