U14's 4 v 1 Castleford Town
An excellent away performance saw the Mavericks return from Castleford with all three points from a top of the table clash. From the whistle Castleford were dominant and only a great defensive display from Matty Elvin, Ashley Holling and Thomas Foster kept the home team at bay. On the occasion that the defence was breached Callan Pettinger was on hand to make a great save. The Mavericks started the second period well forcing a corner in the opening minute which Kevin Dryden headed home. This spurred the Mavericks on and Gareth Newitt doubled the lead with a great run and shot. Castleford pulled a goal back but any hopes they had of salvaging something from the game were short lived when Gareth Newitts header was turned home by Callum Hewitt. The result was put beyond doubt when Gareth Newitt beat the offside trap and scored the Mavericks fourth goal a fine team performance maintained top spot for the Mavericks .Joint man of the match went to Thomas Foster and Callum Hewitt.
