Sunday Update - 16th May 2021

SUPER SUNDAY ROUND UP

Under 9 Spitfires were up against a tough and well organised Salisbury today. It was an end to end match with both teams showing their ability. Both keepers were kept busy and made a string of good saves. There were moments of good play all over the pitch, but unfortunately the boys finished second by a one goal margin. Goals for us today were, Freddie 1, Bushy 1, Adam 1 and Charlie 2.

MOM went to Josh in goal.

U9 Panthers

A massive performance today from the Under 9 Panthers! With only 7 players (no subs!), we controlled the game today. A fantastic second half saw us thrive on the ball and score some great goals. Goals from Stephen, Millie and Will (x3).

POTW went to everyone; Jamie for his excellent concentration and saves, Lloyd for some brilliant interceptions, Stephen for playing in an unfamiliar position so well, Blaise for her constant hard work, Henry for his command of the midfield, Millie for her exceptional communication & passing, and Will for his excellent hat-trick. Well done Panthers!

U10 Panthers battled hard in the rain today, with a great performance against an organised and skilful St Francis team. Following on from a great friendly display mid week, the team continue to build on the hard work they put in to training with excellent displays in all positions. Ablaye, Jacob and Eddie with the goals today. Players of the day were Ablaye and Thierno, with special mentions to Theo Craggs for some great goalkeeping when needed, and Josh Jervis for really taking control and organising the defence and midfield at times. Well done Panthers

U11 Panthers

The Under 11 Panthers put in a decent performance, something the pros would call ‘winning ugly’. Technically we were good today, just a little slow to start. Goals from Alfie, Harry-James and Ethan C (x4). MOTM was Ethan C for his amazing creativity and goals.

U13 Royals

A good 7-0 win for the Royals today. Goals from Bailey Middleton x2, Daniel Wrycraft x2, Harry Noel, Ollie Brading, and Fin Hibberd. They all showed great spirit and team work through out the whole game. Redbridge were left with only 10 players at half time and there was some great sportsmanship from the Royals as we had a couple of players play for them to even out the numbers. No player of the match as there were so many positives from everyone.

Galaxy U15

Galaxy didn't let the weather dampen their spirits today as they ran out 9-0 winners against Botley in the pouring rain.

Boyd Mackenzie with a hat trick

Up the Purps

Ladies

First team

Goals galore in a double header against Alton Town. First game saw AFC Stoneham start on top with a goal in the first minute, it continued that way with a relentless Stoneham onslaught resulting in Stoneham scoring another 10 goals. End result 11-1 with goals from Alisha B x3 Kaylee B x3 Madi P x3 and Chloe A x2.

The second game started as a much closer contest but nevertheless AFC Stoneham continued to ravage the Alton goal only to find the home keeper pulling off save after save. The purps finally found their way through and the goals began to flow again with Stoneham running out easy victors again winning the game 10-1 with goals from Alisha B x4 Kaylee B x3 Madi P x2 and Chloe S.

Development team

A very tough game for our development side today against Gosport Borough Ladies, the girls started very slow but managed to get into the game in the second half claiming a well deserved 3 points winning the game 3-1. Goals from Wicky W x2 and Leah W

Finally most will know of the rapid growth and development of female football at our club which will continue to progress even further very soon.

Big shout out today to the five U18’s , three of who are only 16, playing in our first team who not only put in outstanding performances but three of them provided 13 goals between them!

The future is bright !!!
