Saturday round up.

Not so many games this weekend due to half term

U7 Spitfires

U7 Spitfires played a good spirited game in torrential rain against U7 Tigers. Spitfires focus was on their shape and positional play and impressed with how they linked up, in front of goal. MOM went to Charlie Liburd showing great composure on the ball

U9 AFC Stoneham Knights JPL 3

U9 Proco 0

Knights won 3-0 vs Proco, an established JPL team, continuing their excellent form in their first season in the JPL. Some excellent team work, combined with some great defending at times ensured our clean sheet.

Goals from Antek and Jack secured the victory today. Man of the match today was Jacob for a great play in midfield, setting up counter attacks after winning the ball back in midfield. Well done Knights.

AFC Stoneham Lionesses Girls U14 1 Pompey 7

Well if ever there was a game of two halves that was it. The final score not representing how the game played out. A superb 1st half performance from the Purps saw them dominate a Pompey team who have scored 36 goals in the last 2 games, to just 1 goal (which was from a slip in the 'wet' conditions.) Every girl was superb and the way they played as a team was the best I've seen them play. A goal either side of half time effectively ended our chances and, a few heads went down it must be said. After getting a goal back at 4-1 a fightback was on the cards... only for their No 9 (GotG) to score straight from the kick off.

The scoreline flattered Pompey and our girls should be proud of they way they played today, if they keep on playing like they did 1st half, then theyll be right up at the top of the league at the end of the season.

AFC Stoneham Vets 10

Redlynch Vets 1

Ash Holland

Mikey Harris

Lee Hewett

A sublime performance from our Vets. Fantastic to see two of our junior team coaches scoring for the vets with Ashley Holland (U8) scoring 4 and Lee Hewett (U9) notching a hat trick along with Mikey Harris.

The game was also superbly refereed by our U7 Spitfires manager Matt Whale.

Great to see the above which very much epitomises what we are as a club
