Dyke House 3–3 Easington (Dyke House progress 4–3 on penalties) 🏆⚽

A first win of the season for the Dyke House Year 10s tonight against a strong Easington side who had won back-to-back games so far this season!

After a cagey start, Dyke House created the first opening ...when Olly W showed blistering speed to break through the back four, only to be denied by a good save from the Easington keeper. Shortly after, Dyke House went 1–0 up after a great ball from George B sent Zach D through on goal, who expertly chipped the keeper.

Thomas T then produced a miraculous goal-line clearance to preserve the lead before Easington eventually found an equaliser with a strong finish from a tight angle. Dyke House quickly responded, with George B once again picking out Zach D to make it 2–1 heading into half-time.

Shortly after the break, Ben S produced a trademark powerful run from midfield and calmly slotted into the bottom corner to extend the lead to 3–1. Just as a comfortable victory seemed in sight, Easington hit back with two long balls that caused havoc in the Dyke House defence, bringing the game back to 3–3.

After a cagey finish, the match went to penalties. Hayden C pulled off a corker of a save when needed most, and Charlie A calmly slotted home the deciding spot-kick to send Dyke House into the next round of the ESFA National Cup!

⚽ Goals: Zach D (2), Ben S (1)
🅰️ Assists: George B (2)
🎯 Penalties:
• Zach D
• Ben S
• Jacob L
• George B
• Charlie A

⭐ MOTM: Thomas T – An absolute rock all game with strong challenges and that miraculous goal-line clearance.

👏 Shoutouts:
• Romeo A: Played his first school game of the year and put in a superb first-half performance at left-back, where his long throws terrorised the opposition defence.

• Charlie A: Came on in the second half in central midfield and really caught the eye with his great passing and composure when the team needed it most.
