Aidan Webb scored twice as Shotley Rangers U12s went down by the odd goal in five against Ipswich Valley Rangers in the first game of the season.
The boys played well in a good, open game but are down to the bare bones in terms of numbers so new players are required.
If your boy, or girl, is 12 or under, and interested in playing Saturday mornings, with Thursday evening training, contact Marc Rowland on 07931838215.
