U20s Newcastle Jets reach 1/3 of the season on maximum points after defeating Inner West Hawks 3-1 on Sunday night at the LMRFF. Having only four 18 year old players in their starting line up and the rest 15 and 16 year old, the Newcastle team controlled the game from the outset but were unable to break down the Hawks defense. Half time found both teams locked at 0-0.
A bad bounce of the ball 4 minutes into the 2nd half and an inability to clear it by the Jets defenders, enabled the visitors to open the score. This came against the run of play but gave the visiting team encouragement to dig in even harder for a result. The Newcastle team seamed to run out of ideas in the final third of the field until a couple of substitutions around the 60 minute mark.
The Jets then increased their intensity but most importantly had more movement off the ball in the final third of the pitch. This enabled the midfield to feed balls into the mobile front players who in turn were able to find space and time to create goal scoring opportunities. Within 10 minutes the score was 2-1 to the Jets and from that moment they never looked back. A final goal was scored 9 minutes from the end that secured the 3 points for the tenth consecutive game.
Given that the Youth team were able to defeat the Inner West Hawks 5-0 in the earlier game, the Club Championship table in FNSW League Two Men’s places the Newcastle Jets 24 points in front of their nearest rival.
