SEPT 3 WEEKEND ROUND UP

Weekend Round Up

Some of our teams returned to action this weekend and below are their match reports

AFC Stoneham Tigers U8’s:

First league game and a great game to get us back into it drawing 2-2 against a good hamble side.

Boys worked really hard in that heat today and played some lovely stuff at times. With our first league goal of the season being total football counter attack, finished off perfectly by Alex shows the progression these boys are making. Showed great character again to not give up and get that equaliser we at least deserved. Roll on next week and the rest of the season.

MOTM Alex Pietras! Goal, assist and all round brilliant performance.

U8 Lionesses

The girls entered the Braishfield Tournament and had a great day out!

Panthers U8 Report

What a game to start the season with against a strong Totton & Ealing side. It was our typical slow start but once the boys got into their passing groove, we looked unstoppable. There was some great goals, great tackles and great saves from both teams. We kept the ball superbly at times and also the strength from the boys was outstanding. Man of the match went to Henry. Apart from his 3 magical moments, his hold up play and passing was excellent.

Special mentions to Evan with two magic moments with Harley and Seth adding a further moments of magic each. Well done all of you today, with your never give up attitude. One proud manager.

U9 Panthers

A beautiful sunny Sunday for the first match of the new season saw a great performance from the Stoneham U9 Panthers. ��They started the match well, sticking to the challenges set by their coaches in each quarter. ��Billy was on fire with assists, a goal and lots of shots from distance while Luca made some important tackles and scored an amazing hat trick! In defence Copper and Oscar were solid, making some great passes forward. Upfront, Copper converted 2 goals, Manny adding to the score sheet. �There were brilliant saves as always from Fraser in goal and attacking passes from the back. Freddie was on a mission, winning ball after ball in midfield. ��Every player fought for the ball and it was a great team performance. Man of the match this week goes to Oscar. �Perfect start to the season!

U9 Spitfires

Won the Braishfield tournament. Well done boys!

Panthers U10 Report

What a great start to the season, against a good Hythe & Dibden Dynamite. I know it’s going to take time for the boys to gel, but after looking at that performance, you wouldn’t think we were half a new team. You all worked together collectively, Attacking, defending and closing down. You were everywhere today.

So proud of you all. Man of the match was a tough one, but went to the hat-trick hero Henry. Your skill on the ball, shooting and just getting into the right positions were excellent today. Special mention to Jake, for his hard work and engine in the middle of the pitch. Also to Gabi, again, your footwork and distribution was excellent today. Well done Henry and all of you, a great team performance.

U18 Girls

First time the u18 girls played together at the Winchester tournament and they went 5 from 5, scored 11 and conceded just 2 to bring the cup home, and we tested them with playing a different line up every game and some players in new positions, couldn’t be prouder

Well done to all of our teams!
