U11 Harriers played away against Littleton legends and came out with a good result. The boys showed great effort today on a tricky pitch and took the lead early on from a great pass by Viktor to set up Oliver Mills to fire home. The second half Littleton came back in to the match and had good possession of the ball and scored a deserved equaliser from a defensive mix up. Harriers pressed for a winner and had a lot of chances in the last third of the match and got a well earned penalty with Charlie Wynder slotting home for his first goal for Stoneham. Unfortunately we were unable to hold on and Littleton scored on the counter attack with 5 minutes remaining. MOM - went to Caleb Tickner who deputised in goal for the injured max and led the team really well from the back!
U12 Wolves Was a good game today played in good spirits as always is when we play hiltingbury, too many missed opportunities today we had a rocky start before settling into the game hitting the cross bar 3 times in first half before max put the wolves 1 nil up 5 minutes before half time, boys battled hard with some great football displayed in certain areas of the game unfortunately 4 mins before time with very little to deal with in the second half a lose ball bounced through and hiltingbury managed to strike home an equaliser. Good result really with players missing. MOM going to Max great work rate and determination today very well deserved.
U12 Royals a closely fought 1-1 today. The Royals lacked in energy at the start and struggled to get the ball down and play good football. Whiteley took the lead from a clear offside position.

We equalised around the 55th minute with a great team goal, goal scorer was centre back James Rennie with his first in the opposition goal.
U12 Panthers went out at the semi final stage of the Tyro cup, losing 2-1 to table toppers Southside Manticore. The game was played at a high pace with both teams showing good levels of ability.

We must now concentrate on a strong league finish. Max Edwards was scorer and my player of the day.
U13 Spitfires had a tough day and not playing for 6 weeks unfortunately showed as they list 6-0 to St Francis Rangers.
