Result from weekend

Hi all

The single team had a tough match away at Shadwell United, missing 6 players. We started well, matching Shadwell in most departments until they revealed their secret weapon - their sub was almost my height and changed the game. Those parents who were there will agree, if their number 7 was under 9, then so am I! We were 2-0 down at half time from an unlucky deflection and wonder strike from their "under 9" sub.

Second half, we battled hard, but tired towards the end and lost 5-0.  Positives were strong performances from the midfield trio of cameron, alfie and will with a captains performance from Ciaran.

We move on to the next match 6th November, check this site for details of the opponents.

Note, training is on thursday as usual.

cheers

Results from Weekend 16th October

Hi all


Mixed results again for our teams. The first and second teams match was a local derby against Rothwell Juniors, both matches finishing 1-1. The scorer in the first game was an own goal with Joseph Gill scoring from the spot in the second game.


The single team's match was away to Kippax Athletic, who had won all 3 previous matches. Despite a far better performance from boys, we lost 2-0 which could have been much better had we taken a few of our numerous chances. A great effort all round, much improved from the previous week.


Finally, another strong performance from the friendly team against Kippax, who were the better team on the day and were unlucky to lose out to a last minute breakaway goal.

Strong performances at the back from Jack Dawson, Charlotte, Amir and Calum providing excellent support for Thomas, Josh and Jack Johnston up front. Both goals came from Man of the Match Connor Finister who ran them ragged through midfield.

Well done to all for a fantastic effort.

Result from the weekend

Hi all

The single team faced Yorkshire Amateurs, top of the league and probably the best team we will play this season. Despite a promising start, we lost 8-0 with most of the goals in the second half. Note - let's get the opposition to kick up the hill in the second half in future.

Despite the result,  the midfield worked really hard and showed some good passing and movement and with a bit of luck, we could have scored a couple of goals.

See you all on Thursday night for training. Hopefully, the weather will be an improvement on last week, if not please remember to wrap the kids up warm!

cheers

Results for 2nd October

Hi all

A good day for the under 9's. The first team drew 2-2 with Hunslet club, Bradley Graham and Tom Ibbeson scoring the goals. Man of the match was Ben Pears for his fantastic effort, running himself ragged!

The second team won a thrilling match vs Hunslet Club 5-4 with Josh Gilliard grabbing 4 goals and Ben Neale the other. Man of the match goes to Ben for his all round contribution and assists for the goals.

The third team gave Rothwell Juniors a footballing lesson with a well deserved 2-0 victory which could have been more if not for a fantastic display from Juniors' keeper. Scorers were Connor Finister and Joseph Hepper. Man of the match goes to Connor for a great midfield showing. A pic of the lads ready for action is below.

Remember, we are looking alternative names for all the teams, one idea from Cameron was to use the 4 symbols on the Rothwell town badge. Any other ideas, let me know, andy.murphy@lexisnexis.co.uk.

see you for training Thursday night.

cheers
Andy
