Under 9 Panthers had a super day . Bobby Bennett and Jacob Pinder were on fire in front of goal . Great display during the “Their Game” initiative, with an impeccably held minutes silence before the game. Took ownership of the game and implemented the tactics and training that we have been working on. Bobby Bennett MOTM.

The U10 panthers had a good performance on silent weekend. Some good goals from Ethan C and Joey and some good pressing in periods. MOTM was Ethan C.

U10 Spitfires has a close game v Netley Royals in the ‘Their Game’ match. We were punished late on for not taking our opportunities. Goals from George Polkinghorne and Oliver Drew. PoM went to Seth Price for a solid defensive display and was inches away from scoring his first goal.

U11 Harriers has a close game against a good Fawley side. The boys battled back well after a slow start MOM- went to the captain Caleb Tickner who had a great game and covered every inch of the pitch and was unlucky not to cap it off with a goal.

U12 Royals suffered a defeat in the cup after taking an early lead with a goal from Ollie Brading. Some great individual performances as well as a good team effort. All of the players gave 100% till the end. UP THE PURPS

U12 Panthers safely made it through to the next round of the Hampshire cup with a 7-1 win over Purbrook youth. Braces from Max Edwards, Will Hosmer and Brad Chirima plus a goal from Joe Phillips, making his debut after an injury lay off secured the win. The most complete performance of the season so far with some fantastic attacking play. Max and Will were voted players of the game. Well done boys!
