SUNDAY ROUND UP - PART 2
U12-U18
U12 Panthers
Under 12 Panthers continued our fantastic start to the season with a 3-1 win at Winsor United Green.
For the third week running we went 1 nil down and it stayed that way until half time.
The 2nd half saw us pick up the tempo and a brace of set pieces from Sam Warner sandwiched a single from Jake Fluck. Man of the match was a tough choice this week with some brilliant performances but for his tireless running and all round great game it went to Ewan Halliday.
U12 Spitfires
U12 Spitfires had a tough/physical game away to Millbrook, formerly Bush Hill who are our bogey team who we just can’t seem to beat. Boys battled hard but lost 3-1 although score line doesn’t reflect the game as could have been a draw. Harley Marjason scoring our solitary goal following some nice passing and a defence splitting pass from Oliver Drew. Some great defending throughout and Archie McQuiston (Mr Reliable) was solid and deservedly got POM.
U13 Panthers
AFC Stoneham Panthers 4 - 2 Totton & Eling Allstars.
Great team performance from everyone today. We defended well when we needed to and were hard to break down. Fantastic recovery after going 1-0 down with 3 mins. Goals from Jude (2), Teddy and Jacob.
U14 Panthers match report
U14 Panthers lost to a very strong Warsash Wasps side. The boys took the lead through Tomi Mengyi, who was making his league debut for Stoneham, and lead until Warsash equalised just before half time. In the second half Warsash moved up a few gears and the boys were unable to respond. Harry Clark was man of the match for AFC Stoneham.
U14 Knights
U14 Knights drew 4-4 against Romsey Town. Having gone 3-0 up with goals from Elliot (8’), Adrian (15’) and Ewan (37’), Romsey then scored 4. Waseem (63’) scored the equaliser.
The MoM was Brad who was solid at the back and forming a great partnership with Oliver.
In summary the team dropped points but didn't throw the game away.
U14 Royals
2-2 draw for the Royals today. A very tightly contested game - we went 1 nil up, and later 2-1 up. At times it seemed that the opposition just wanted the ball more than we did but we put in some great performances all over the pitch, and some excellent saves from Rex kept us in the game. Player of The Match goes to Greg Rolinson for giving his all and putting his body on the line for the team. Both goals from Harry Noel #UpThePurps!
U14 Wolves
Good solid performance from the boys today after our slippery mistake early in the game saw us 1 nil down within minutes with a great lob shot from luke saw us back level and from that point onwards boys controlled game well. With boys applying constant pressure in second half finally the door opened up and boys comfortably got a nice 4-1 lead in which they controlled the game out for our first win of the season boys have been unlucky in first 2 games but this day was ours and very much deserved.
Goals from luke, Alfie Kyle and an own goal also.
Motm and parents player of match went to Lennon for an all round perfect performance.
Well done Wolves
U15 Spitfires
U15 Spitfires had a tough game which i am still unsure how we lost. Played home against Alresford Lions and lost 5-3. Damage was done from the long ball which we struggled to handle all game. Our 3 goals were scored by Taylor Waters who was excellent today and all over the pitch and deservedly won the POM award.
U15 United - Peter Houseman Youth League
AFC Stoneham United U15s started the new campaign today in the premier division of the Peter Houseman Youth League with a win!
We faced a very strong and physical Oakley Youth side who scored first early on. We didn’t let that phase us at all and the boys quickly regained possession and took hold of the game. Two goals from Stanley Potter helped secure our first win in this new league. New league, new grounds, new teams, new possibilities and new beginnings!!!

U16 Panthers
Another narrow defeat (1-2) for the U16 Panthers in a game that they should have drawn, and one that but for a couple of missed chances and great saves, they might have won.
One down early on from a disputed free kick, Panthers fought back and deservedly drew equal through a corking finish by Owen Divers, before keeper, Liam Small, brilliantly saved the first of two penalties just before half time.
A momentary switching off on the halfway line, just after the start of the second half, resulted in a second for the opposition, who were strong, aggressive and determined throughout an evenly contested match. Shortly after this, they were awarded a second penalty of the match, but this was once again kept out by Liam, with arguably a better save than the one in the first half.
This spurred Panthers on and they had by far the better of the rest of the match. Owen probed and asked questions time and time again, Cammy had a thunderbolt of a shot amongst many other chances spread throughout the team, but not even a shot/cross that went about 300ft into the air and down onto the keeper’s head found it’s way in.
It’s coming..it’ll happen… and in the meantime, we’ll just enjoy the endeavour, effort and teamwork that this team show.
Special mention must go to Jake Squires who was superb in keeping their No9 quiet throughout the game, but the man of the match award had to go to Liam for his two penalty saves!
Well done to all of our teams on some great performances !
