Saturday Update - 1st May 2021

Under 7 United

We played against a Pace side who have lost one game this season but I have to say every single United player gave there all and played some superb football during the match and worked hard until the final kick of the game.

A goal a piece from Alex and Alfie with some lovely composed finishing. Purp of the match was Alex for good listening, tackling and grabbing a nicely taken goal. The game ended 6-2 to Pace Pumas

Under 7 Panthers

On paper, this should have been our toughest game so far, since we drew with them earlier in the season 4-4. But from the moment the ref blew his whistle, the boys gave everything.

Oliver started like a man possessed all over the pitch and was unlucky not to score in the first 10 secs. James was solid at the back as usual. Lucas pulled off some great saves in goal. Alessandro & Aryan again continued to get stuck in and was both unlucky not to score.

Harry produced some good skill with a run down the line and set up a goal with a great pass, and was also unlucky not to score. Jenson again scored 6 goals, and was all over the pitch with his running and tackling.

But my man of the match was Ollie, even though he is known for shooting and scoring which he did score 2 goals, but what pleased me most today was his defending and tackling. Well done Ollie. It just shows how far we have come from that first match. One very proud manager.

Under 7 Spitfires

Tough game today for the U8 Spitfires against a very strong opponent in Oakwood. The boys worked extremely hard out of possession never giving up and as the game progressed they began to grow and offer more of a threat going forward culminating in winning the final quarter of the game.

Spitfires learned a lot from today’s game and this will make us stronger going forward. Special mention to Brody Hibberd for his Hat-trick but also for his tireless chasing of the opposition and willingness to get into good positions in the final third. For this he was awarded Player of the day.

Under 7 Jaguars

Boys played well today against a very strong Winchester side. Had a few chances which we couldnt take and Winchester made sure they took there's.
Goalscorer: Sam Purchase. POTD: Jesse Egerton for some very good tackles and work rate throughout.

Under 7 Wolves

We knew that this was a tough game and that they play good football. After a slow start and being punished in that moment up stepped a player with a superb attitude and took it upon himself to showcase his talents.

Reggie aka Reginaldo did the magic twice to get ahead in the game. Then Caleb and Harry also followed suit. We then as a team took more control of the game. It was a good footballing game to watch and we were able to see out the game well.

The team should be proud of themselves.
MOM went to 2 players for some outstanding performances. Caleb and Reggie well done!


Under 10 Girls

Today we played a double header (2 games) against Southbrook.

In the first game we lost 1-0 and it was a hard fought battle for both teams end to end throughout.

The second match is when the panthers sprung to life and quickly established a 2-0 lead with Lucy & Erin scoring their first goals for the team. (Both from never giving up as a team) then after the interval Layla drove from midfield all the way to goal taking them on and slotting home the third.

The match finished 3-0 to the panthers who played fantastically as a team but credit to today’s opposition who also played great football making it a thoroughly good game and morning out for all.

Oppositions player the of the match was Meme and Managers player of the match was Lucy. Again, special mention to Southbrook who were great opposition.

Under 11 Girls

Goals today from; Lou (2), Maisy, Freya, Sasha, Olivia and Lacey (2).

Great to see them crosses going in from the wings and they led to a couple of the goals for us. Finished the game really strongly and used the whole pitch really well. Their GK was also having a great game and it could have been a lot more if not for her!

Opposition voted for lou as GOTG. 2 goals, 2 assists and very unlucky not to score the goal if the season, but for a great save onto the post!
Parents voted for freya, goal, assist, played several positions and did well in all of them. Such an intelligent player too!

Coaches voted for luciannie, who was a big reason we didnt and generally dont, concede much. Great positioning, awareness and composure all the time!
We all agreed at the end that it's getting harder each week to choose a GOTG.

They're all giving it their all, all the time and they all deserve huge credit! Big well done to them all!
