Youth Round Up - 8th March 2020

The Under 8 Panthers had a good return in the cup, after 5 weeks of games called off. Some brilliant play all round, especially communication. Overall a fantastic and an excellent performance considering it was ‘Their Game’ weekend as well. Panther of the week was Henry for his excellent work rate. Well done Panthers!

U8 Royals has a great day in their 1st Europa Cup game. The performance was exceptional particularly because over half the game the opposition had 2 extra players but we played some really Silky Football at times, overall a great team performance. Assists for Archie, Arvinder, Alfie G, Duwayne & Alfie L & goals from many. Alfie L was MOTM.

U9 Tigers had a tight game. Miles scored a hat trick. Alistair got MoM!

U9 Panthers had a great day A game that should have been more comfortable but we switched off in the last quarter. For the 3 quarters we were switched on the team played some sublime football. The passing play was great. Jacob Pinder and Bobby Bennett with the goals. Man of the match Josh Cooper for his excellent defensive play.

U10 Panthers had a very successful day and put in a brilliant performance in their silent weekend cup game. Great performances all round with some good passing and improved communication. Not one player was off their game today - fantastic! MOTM was Ethan. Well done lads!

U10 Spitfires didnt win or lose against a Hedge End Panthers who are 2 leagues above them in the group decider of the cup. Sadly means the boys are now out but they played so well today and proud of everyone of them. Shows just how far we have come as team. Goals scored by Harry Halligan and George Polkinghorne with his 1st ever headed goal. POM went to Archie McQuinton but in all honesty anyone could have got it with how well they all played.

Under 10 Falcons finished the group stages of the cup with a good performance against a competitive Hursley side. Well done boys for getting through the heavy rain.

U11 Harriers Today we played Hiltingbury and had a good day. The boys played well against a very good Hiltingbury team who have gone unbeaten for quite a while. We created some good chances early and scored a well taken penalty. Hiltingbury had the better of the first half and more dominant in possession and were unlucky not to convert more of their opportunities but for some good defending going in level at half time. 2nd half we defended really well & then started to create more opportunities through counter attacking. Both goal by Viktor. All the boys worked hard today & had great attitude, MOM went to Cole who was amazing at the back winning every tackle and header and led the defence really well!

U14 Panthers lost 2-1 played poorly. 3 players injured missed a sitter and hit post with a few mins left.

U14 Galaxy had a much needed game today in a friendly against Div 5 champions Romsey Youth. An end to end match finished 2-2 with Tom Clarke netting both goals for Stoneham.

U15 Spitfires AFC Stoneham Spitfires 8 City Central 1. The cup winners continued building momentum with a dominant display from the start. The only disappointment was Conceding a goal from City Central's only shot. Goal scorers... Harvey 3, Claudiu, Louie, Jamie, Ryan, Woody. MOM Claudiu, pulled the strings in the middle of the park against his old team.

U16 Panthers won 3-1 against Marchwood, scorers where Spencer Sims, Jack Hitchener and Matt Millmore. The boys played some really nice football today and thoroughly deserved the win.

U18s AFC Stoneham 6 Petersfield Town 0 Scorers. Tom scottow 3 Cade Dyer 2 Brad Cooper 1. Joint top of the league with Totton who the boys play at home next Sunday.

Well done to all of our teams who played!
