Gregg Ryder, Newcastle United Under-14s Lead Coach, said: “Firstly, I couldn’t be prouder of the players and staff for their dedication and hard work that led to this fantastic achievement.

“Winning the Black and White Cup is a testament to their commitment and growth, shown not just across the weekend, but over the course of the entire season.

“I’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the teams who participated this weekend. The competition was outstanding and everyone who took part contributed to what was a truly memorable weekend of football.

“International tournaments like these are vital for the development of our Academy. They provide our young players with invaluable experience, exposing them to different playing styles and challenges that help shape their skills and character, both on and off the pitch. This is the kind of foundation that prepares them to represent Newcastle United at the highest levels in the future.”
