Cramlington Juniors 0 - 0 Wideopen

Wideopen started the game with 9 men due to injuries. Therefore, Cramlington piled on the pressure and Andrew cleared of Wideopen's line. As the game progressed and Cramlington still didn't break Wideopen down, they became more fustrated thanks largely to a great display at the back by Andrew coping with everything that was launched into the box. Before half-time Liam turned up so Wideopen finished the half level and with 10 men. The great defending from Wideopen continued into the second-half, cramlington became more and more annoyed and started using even more long balls which played right into the hand / heads of Andrew and Dean. As the final whistle loomed, Wideopen's confidence increased and they even had a few attacks. The game finished 0 - 0, a point that no-one expected and justly earned.

North Shields 3 - 1 Wideopen

The game started slowly with neither team threatening until a corner at the near post was converted by Shields. After this, North Shields pressed but didn't create any clear-cut chances. After half-time, Wideopen started strongly and created a few half-chances and 10 minutes into the half, Tom smashed a poorly cleared corner home to level the game. After this, Wideopen were in the ascendency and 5 minutes later, after cutting in from the left, Glen smashed a 30 yard shot off the underside of the crossbar. Another attack and Dean missed a clear opportunity to take the lead by blasting over. Then the North Shields' winger cut in and scored. However, Wideopen didn't stop, Ross having a golden opportunity saved then, from the keeper's clearance, North Shields scored to make it 3 - 1 at the final whistle.

Wideopen 0 - 7 Wallsend Boys Club

The first 20 minutes passed by with Wideopen putting together some neat passing moves but only creating a few half chances, Wallsend also did not threaten the target. Then a Wallsend corner came in, wasn't properly cleared, pinged off a Wallsend hand then was deflected past into the net. This goal didn't change the game with neither team getting the upper hand. Then 5 minutes before half time another Wallsend corner came in and their centre-back had a free header - 2 nil.
After the break, another 10 minutes went by with Dean Aiteman having a few half chances but yet again another Wallsend corner led to another Wallsend goal, followed by another corner and another goal. Now at 4 nil Wallsend started commanding the game but still not creating clear chances from open play. 10 minutes before the end Wallsend attacked down the left and a good cross was headed goalwards but an excellent save from Fraz prevented a goal, then another corner came in and another goal for Wallsend. Wideopen didn't stop - Ross Dickinson had a headed opportunity saved and Dean narrowly missed the top corner with an effort from outside the area. With 5 minutes to play Wallsend scored another 2 goals to give the game a scoreline which wasn't a fair reflection. The game finished 7 0.

14th March 2010: Wideopen 0 - 3 Newcastle East End

The game started with Wideopen having to use their left back as a stand-in keeper, but this didn't affect them going forward. Within the first few minutes Jaimie had a free-kick cleared off the line and Dean and Ross had efforts saved. However, then East End had their first shot resulting in a goal which was no fault of Jakeys. Wideopen pressed again creating more opportunities for Dean but East End's keeper and the post kept Wideopen at bay, and before half-time with East End's second shot they found their second goal.

The second-half began with Wideopen going 4 - 4 - 2. This immediately paid off creating 2 chances for Ross which where both slightly off target, then a one-two between Tom and Graymo gave Dean a shooting opportunity which, uncharacteristically, was straight at the keeper. This was followed by an attack which resulted in a penalty after a great save from Wideopen's centre-back. This finished the game off: 3 - 0 the final score.
