Todays U7 and Girls Round up

U7 Spitfires

Excellent performance from the U7 Spitfires today in a game that was robust and had plenty of Drama! Every week brings an improvement in passing and moving and working as a team in defensive situations. The result wasn’t what we deserved but the team can be proud of their performance and on another day the result could’ve been very different. Brody Hibberd & Elliott Finch were deadly in front of goal. Player of the day could have gone to anyone, in the end it went to Harvey Whyte for his tireless work ethic at both ends of the pitch.

U7 Stoneham United v Hiltingbury Hurricanes

We started the game very slowly today and fell behind with some quick fire goals. Harry W made some fantastic saves to keep it respectable.

In the 2/3rd quarters it was a very even game with some good listening and work ethic throughout the side.

A special mention to William who scored a great 1st goal for United which was pleasing for all to see, we are made up for him. On the back of his goal and good positional play he deserved Purp of the match today. Our other goal was scored by Archie/build up play with Tayo.

AFC Stoneham Wolves U7

We played against the team of the age group who has set the measuring stick for us all.

So a massive credit to Oakwood for that. Lot's to develop and work on which at this age group you'd expect. Some decent spells in the game from the Team. A fantastic display from Lucas in goal who pulled off some worldies. Reggie for his never ending running. Tom defensively was up against a very strong team and he blocked and tackled to the max!

We do it as a team and look forward to the next Game!

U7 Stoneham Jaguars

Hard game today and the boys gave their best, need to work on our listening skills and the rest will come.

Louis Purchase great effort today and nearly scored

Panthers U7

What a win boys! I am starting to sound like a broken record, but we just seem to be playing like a team now. The number of passes between each other is getting better and better each week. Alessandro done well in goal with some good saves. Again James and Lucas was solid at the back with Lucas scoring a thunder-strike from just past the halfway line. Harry was excellent with some good passing and scoring 3 times. Oliver was again all over the pitch and got his rewards with a goal. Aaryan gave good work rate. Jenson was again at the heart of the dribbling and scoring, and got 4 goals. But my Man of the Match was Ollie, his work rate and shooting was brilliant. Well done Ollie. Proud of the boys today. Final Score x v x

U18 Girls

A comfortable afternoon for our super U18 girls who ran out 6-0 winners at home to Winchester City. The only sour note was going down to 10 players after Layla C limped off but the girls still managed to score twice after going down to 10. With goals from Jess T, Madi P, Libby S, Kaylee B x2 and Chloe A.

U13s Girls

The U13 girls were hosts to Mudeford today and despite dominating another game, fell victim to a 2-1 defeat.

It was a scrappy first half from both sides, but we were quick to take the lead 2 minutes into the 2nd half through an Annabel header. Despite creating plenty more chances to lead the game more comfortably, we could only find the keepers' hands. Despite an equaliser on 47', the girls kept the pressure on, with Tanesha working tirelessly in the middle to shut down Mudeford play. Lexie turned the defence inside out all game and gave us hope to retake the lead before her powerful shot heading for the bottom left corner was tipped around the post. Mudeford broke late and stole the game 3' from time; an undeserved defeat but we just didn't take our chances. It was that simple.

Managers POM: Lexie & Tanesha
