Sunday Update - 6th June 2021

U9 Panthers

The Under 9 Panthers put in an exceptional performance today. Of course it was very hot, so a huge effort from the players! Some excellent play, remembering what we have worked on in training recently. Goals from Millie (x3) and Charlie (x2). POTW was Millie for her excellent goals, brilliant assist attempts and fantastic passing down the line. Well done Panthers!

U9 Spitfires

Under 9 Spitfires put in a fantastic performance once again. We were up against Salisbury who are a very strong and good footballing team. Both teams battled from start to finish and played some slick and classy passing moves. Coaching staff from both teams stood back and watched both teams enjoying moving the ball around the pitch. Two goals from Bushy and one for Jenson just wasn’t enough as Salisbury came out on top by one.

The whole team played their socks off especially as we had no subs!!!

U10 Panthers, in lieu of a league game this weekend, played a friendly today against our u11 Spitfires. This was the boys first 9v9 game as they make that move next season, and the boys put in a great display, providing some competitive football against a well drilled, skilled and organised Spitfires. Final score was 4-2 to the u11 Spitfires, with Oliver and Ablaye netting for the Panthers. Well done Panthers on a battling display today, and also a big thank you to Kev and the u11 Spitfires for giving us a game today, and demonstrating the willingness within the club to help and develop teams and players across the age groups ⚽️⚽️⚽️

U10 Tigers

Great performance from the U10 Tigers squad today. We created chance after chance and played some exciting football, quick in transition and dominant in the attacking third. 5 different goal scorers, including two hat-tricks from two wingers. Proud of how adaptable our players were today, with new positions/roles being played by many and great attitude by all.

GK Jack Binns was outstanding, adding 2 assists to another strong performance between the sticks.

Goal Scorers: Mustapha Suso, Louis Howard, Spencer Winter, Vinnie Hamstead, and Dominik Veal.

POTM: Mustapha Suso

U10 Jaguars

Jags had another convincing win today. The lads were at it from the off with Freddy scoring early on twice with his left foot. Daniel then chipped in with the scoring with a lovely low finish. Harry scored next with a long range free kick going in the top corner . Finley the cat was on fine form this afternoon making some acrobatic saves throughout the game. Harry soon had his second goal and Jamie also scored late on. Freddy completed the game with a rocket to get his hatrick. Motm was Daniel with his goal and assists.

U13 Wolves

Today we hosted a friendly, with the new challenges for the boys on the horizon we set ourselves the challenge and invited hiltingbury hawks currently sat 2 division above, boys started fantastic, great positive attitude which showed in their performance. Great discipline, great shape and great football. Boys looked very comfortable out their today and all their hard work paid off. Excellent plays saw the boys go in 3 nil up at half time. Boys continued the second half the same with a great strike from hiltingbury no.9 got them a goal back which could have unsettled the boys however boys stayed strong and organised got themselves another 2 goals, the game was fantastic to watch and the boys done themselves proud today seeing the game out as a 6 - 2 victory.

Goals came from Leyton and Floyd but no motm today as the whole team was fantastic.

Well done Wolves.

U15 Galaxy

Galaxy enjoyed themselves this afternoon putting in one of their better performances as they ran out 5-1 winners away at Hamble Youth.

Yet again Boyd Mackenzie, with his 3rd hatrick in 4 games, and Keiran Kandiah were on the score sheet.

Daniel Beggs also weighed in with a well taken header.

Ladies

This is first team against shanklin

" Battle on the Island".

The 1st of today's double headers saw the Purps take the 3 points with an outstanding free kick from Alisha B.

The hosts equalised with a free header from their 6ft plus midfielder . The 2nd half was a frustrating with Kaylee B striking a post and minutes later crashed a shot against the underside of the bar.

With the Purps gaining momentum a cut back saw Maddison P score a put Stoneham back in front. Six minutes later the game was done as Maddison P grabbed a brace and Stonehams 3rd..

The 2nd game was rather disappointing after Shanklin took the lead from a penalty after Katie P's made minimal contact.

Stoneham huffed and puffed looking for the equaliser but with only 1 outfield sub legs started to look a bit weary. The hosts were content to hold the 1-0 .

The game unfortunately became our 1st defeat of the season.

Lessons learnt and we go again next Sunday.

Development squad

A tough game for our development team after coming away with 1 point from a 2-2 draw against Gosport Borough Ladies. The purps opened the game with Abi V scoring a great goal putting Stoneham 1-0 up.

Into the second half the purps gave away two goals in 5 mins meaning Gosport took the lead. Stoneham fought hard and were awarded with a penalty which was then brilliantly saved by the keeper. Stoneham finally found the net with 15 minutes to go when Maia G scored. Stoneham had a very good shout for a pen for handball but the ref waived the appeals away, keeping the game level with a 2-2 draw.

Well done to all of our teams!
