Sunday Update - 11th April 2021

U8 Panthers had an excellent game today, showing that hard work in training really pays off!! A blistering display of attacking football led to goals from Harley S,Ethan, Dexter and Rafferty. A solid performance from start to finish! Joint players of the day were Dexter for some heroics in goal, and Harley S for showing his goalscoring prowess. Well done Panthers.

Under 9 Panthers put in some great effort today, proving that they can be very resilient. An amazing first quarter and two good final quarters proved they have the ability and passion to play some great football. Some phenomenal spells and passages of play throughout! Goals from Henry (x2) and Eddie. POTW was Jamie for his fantastic improvement throughout the game. Well done Panthers!

Under 9 Spitfires continued their good run of play. We started sharply putting pressure on the opposition defence however we found ourselves going behind against the run of play. The boys remained calm and played their slick, flowing football. George Bushell and Charlie found the net 3 times each with Adam adding one. Solid team performance which was hard to single just one out for MOM, but George Bushell just edged it.

U10 Tigers Match Report:

AFC Stoneham U10 Tigers vs St. Francis U10 Rangers

We moved the ball well, dictated the pace, and were threatening every time in possession, creating chance after chance.

Despite our strength in possession we are still rebuilding our match fitness and that was evident today with our decision making and defensive errors creeping in later in the match.

All in all, another great weekend and successful Week 2 of our return to football, as we ramp back up. 5 different goal scorers today and many more chances. A special mention for Vinnie Hamstead who found the back of the net in a well deserved goal.

A classy touch from the St. Francis team and players today, who were full of praise for our team and commenting on how well we played.

U10 Jaguars

A tough game v JAM youth began with us going 1 goal ahead thanks to Daniel who bagged his first goal in purple. The second quarter Jaguars fell apart conceding three goals all within the 2nd quarter. During the last 2 quarters the Jaguars battled hard and should have scored on a few occasions. We managed to get a late goal due to a penalty which made the last 6-7 mins a bit more exciting.

U10 Panthers

had a great display today in a hard fought game this morning. Great battling display to overcome a very physical opposition. Eddie, Ablaye and Finn with the goals today. Joint players of the day were James and Thierno, for some excellent defensive displays. Well done Panthers!

U11 Spitfires

Fantastic performance from U11 Spitfires . Some excellent football played in a faultless performance. All goals were well taken and solid defending when required with some outstanding saves by Miles when needed at crucial times in the game. Goals scored by Harley Marjason 2, Harry Halligan & George Polkinghorne. POM was hard to decide so went to parents to vote and was shared between Harley Marjason & Miles Earnshaw. Really proud of all the boys today.

U11 Panthers

The Under 11 Panthers put in a strong performance against the Sharks this week. Both teams had great spells of play and created countless chances. Some fantastic passing and moving from the Panthers ensured a good performance. Goals from Ethan C (x3) and Ben. MOTM was Ethan C for his huge contribution this week. Well done lads!

U12 Panthers

The boys played well today after a 4 month absence and we came up against a battling Alresford Town side who never gave up.

We came out winners and had very bright spells of play through out the match especially in attack.

We created numerous chances and could have been more despite for some great goalkeeping & the cross bar in the way.

Goal scorers today - Billy 3, Caleb 3, Viktor 2, Arlo 1 & Josh 1.

Everyone contributed to a good overall performance but Mom - went to Luke for a fine performance in defence and his good distribution of the ball.

U13 Knights

U13 Knights first match back saw them narrowly lose 2-3 to unbeaten league leaders Eastleigh Tornadoes.

Having gone 1-0 down Adrian scored a stunning volley to equalise on 27 mins.

In the second half we went down another 2 goals before Elliot scored a penalty on 65 mins.

Joint MOM to Elliot & Oliver for marking the Tornadoes’ Centre Forward.

U13 Royals

U13 Royals won 3-1 today after being 1 nil down at half time. It was a game of two halves and all of the players battled brilliantly to come back and win the game. Harry Noel was player of the match for putting in 100% effort for the whole game and chasing every ball. Goals from Daniel Wycraft, Harry Noel, and Ollie Brading.

U14 Wolves 3 Salisbury White 3

A really decent performance from the group after the long layoff. A tad unlucky today having been 3-1 up not to take all three points against the current league leaders, although this has been a theme this season. Some great individual performances too.

U15 Galaxy

Despite being on top in the second half a late goal from the opposition put paid to a Galaxy comeback in their keenly contested match against Winsor United with the final score being 2-0. Stoneham dominated in terms of possession and played some decent football but just couldn't apply the final touch.

MoM today went to AJ Stitson with an excellent display.

U15 Hawks beat Winchester 5-0 with goals from Oli Spink, Charlie Hawes and a hattrick from motm Kyle Podolanski.

U18 Panthers

U18 Panthers beat St Francis 2-1

AFC STONEHAM LADIES 5:1

DOWN GRANGE LADIES, first game back for all, a rusty lacklustre first half which saw Stoneham take the lead through A Buckingham on 5 minutes, an equaliser from Down Grange on the 25th minute to send the teams into half time level. With a tactical change at the break saw a much improved second half with four more goals coming from A Buckingham (51, 54) a correction to the 4th goal (81) which was scored by Marie C on the line after Abbie A hit the crossbar from a header and the fifth goal from Madi P (85). The quality second half performance by the ladies sealed the three points/ AFC STONEHAM DEV2:2 WIDBROOK UNITED RES, a tough first game back for our dev team away at league leaders Widbrook United Reserves. The purps found themselves 2 nil down, but showed real determination and character to come back up the M27 with a point with goals from Laura P and Katie S. UP THE PURPS!

Well done to all of our teams today and great to be back playing matches
