The match, part of the league competition, kicked off at 10:30 am and saw the home side deliver a performance that will be remembered for its attacking flair and clinical finishing.

Newcastle Town U14 lined up in a 3-5-1-1 formation, featuring Tanashe Mubonza in goal, supported by a defensive trio of Lucas Carmo, Harry Reynolds, and Seamus Unknown. The midfield was anchored by George Breeze, with Loan2, Lewis Ballham, and Tybereus Firkins providing width and creativity. Alex Creswell played just behind the lone striker, Seb loan, while Samuel Dodd completed the lineup as the forward. The substitutes for Newcastle included players who would later be introduced to the fray, but their impact was limited in the face of a relentless opposition.

The first half was dominated by Madeley White Star, who opened the scoring with a powerful header just nine minutes in. The Newcastle defence struggled to cope with the attacking waves, and within a short span, the home side doubled their lead with a penalty at the 20-minute mark. As the half progressed, Madeley continued to apply pressure, scoring again in the 21st minute and then adding a fourth goal just before the interval, leaving Newcastle Town trailing 4-0 at half-time.

Despite the daunting scoreline, Newcastle Town emerged for the second half with a renewed sense of purpose. They managed to create a few chances, with Samuel Dodd and Alex Creswell both testing the Madeley goalkeeper, but their efforts were either saved or went wide. The home side, however, was quick to respond, scoring their fifth goal shortly after the break.

Newcastle finally found the back of the net in the 62nd minute, with Harry Reynolds converting a well-placed assist from Alex Creswell, giving the visitors a glimmer of hope at 5-1. Unfortunately for Newcastle, Madeley White Star was not finished yet, scoring three more goals in quick succession to seal the match at 8-1.

The match concluded with Newcastle Town left to reflect on a challenging outing, while Madeley White Star celebrated a comprehensive victory that highlighted their attacking prowess and tactical superiority. The performance of the day belonged to the home side, who will undoubtedly carry this momentum into their upcoming fixtures.
