Sunday round up

U10 AFC Stoneham Jaguars

1st quarter

In very cold and windy conditions the boys fought hard, attacking and defending but couldn’t break Winsor down.

2nd quarter

Saw us take an early lead with Billy opening the scoring and then Egit added another goal. Some really good defending on show today from Oliver. He made it hard for the opponents to make any chances working his socks off.

3rd quarter

We settled down and started to play some really good football. Unfortunately we left the door open slightly and Winsor managed to pull one back. The Jaguars put their foot on the gas again and added 2 more goals.

4th quarter

More of the same by the Jag’s. The defence kept everything together with some really good communication. The strikers were hungry for more and added another two goals. This saw us round off a very comfortable win.

6-1

M.O.M Billy

Managers player Oliver

U10 Panthers

Great performance from the team today, against a very good Fleming Athletics. The Weather was against us, but no one gave up and battled against the wind and the rain, making for a great result.

Scorers: Millie Fear, Ollie Ransom, Henry Cordall

Player Of The Day goes to Jamie Henderson for some outstanding saves and his positioning for when the ball was in his box.

U12 Panthers

Under 12 panthers played another 11 a side friendly today to prepare for stepping up to that next season away at Hedge End United in dreadful conditions.

We came out 5-4 winners scoring the winning goal with the last kick of the game.

It really should have been more comfortable as we were by far the better team but injuries meant we finished the game with 9 against 11.

Goalscorers today were Sam White with the first 4 before Joey Gibson scored our decisive 5th.

Pitch was heavy and hard work with some good performances.

Man of the match went to Sam White for not only his goals from midfield but some tremendous tracking back and timely tackles

U16 United

Salisbury 2 - 5 United

U16 Panthers

Football is a team game as today proved with the U16 Panthers putting in a performance that belied the wind,rain and a sodden, muddy sloping pitch, to return to winning ways with a 3-1 victory against Compton FC.

More accurately perhaps with this side, it’s a squad game and just as enjoyable as the final scoreline was the return to action of Ehren Cox and Owen Diver after long term absences,adding yet more quality to the team.

The boys raced into the lead with Dylan Cross rounding the keeper to score (or was it Josh Marks .. the debate’s ongoing) inspite of the best efforts of Compton defenders with the first of many challenges that were a feature of the match.

A strong first half performance ensued, but it wasn’t until the second half that captain Cameron Churcher doubled the advantage, latching onto a sublime through ball to score with a calm, classy finish, only bettered by his JWP celebration.

The opposition then stepped things up, asking Liam Small to dive smartly to his right making a two handed save. After further pressure and another save, they managed to halve the deficit, but that proved to be it, with Panthers restoring their two goal advantage with another goal from Jude Cowan.

In summary a great squad performance, as just as important as the goals was the determined work of the defensive team and tireless/ creative work of the midfield unit. Well done boys!

Man of the Match - Jacob Keyse (that “shot” aside )

Finally ,well done to our U16 Athletic team who reached the semi finals of the county cup beating Moordown from Bournemouth 5-1
