A fantastic Sunday morning at Dukeshouse was capped off with an unexpected surprise for many of our U7 Ajax players as their preseason friendly match against Ponteland United U7s was watched by England and NUFC Captain Kieran Trippier and fellow star and Brazilian Joelinton. It was a particularly good day for Joelinton, as his oldest found the net, celebrating with Trippier's son after the goal.

On Saturday night many of our youngsters watched their hero's play but this time they were the stars and the professionals were applauding them as they put on an amazing performance with lots of goals, smiles and fun had by all.
