Hels

v WPark (a)

we were grreted by a mud bath of a pitch and right from the start we knew we were up against it. We quickly decided that football across the ground wasn't an option today and depsite only being ahead through Elliot's excellent strike, the boys were well on top and grateful for Dannys interventions as stand in goalie. At half time the boys took in how well they were playing despite the conditions and despite some spirited fighting play form WPark. They improved the percentage of ball getting out to the wings and the forwards fully exploited the situation and quickly went into a comfortable 4 goal lead. They were pegged back by a well taken goal by WPark but then went onto to score a further five - two hat tricks by Elliot and Motty a Dom Harper shot, a goal from Nick and a blaster from Max - a comprehensive  victory to regain our top of the table status. 

A good match played in very good spirit and a triumph for the home side who played attractive football and were on top from the 1st half penalty calmly converted by skipper Mike Buckley. Waverton maintained the pressure throughout and despite some good goalkeeping from Nomads and good defensive work scored a further three through Harper and a season first for Catford who struck a great shot from outside the box. Motty went on to score his hat trick , fast becoming a habit, and Nick through his persistance managed to get the 7th. Well done to bith teams for making an enjoyable contest.

Subject: u16 v blacon

this was very close to being a tough harsh lesson for the team today...never has it been so one sided that had it been a boxing contest the referee would have bought it to a stop. In the first twenty minutes the team missed a penalty, hit the bar three times, hit the post twice - the goalkeeper made some excellent saves and the game should have been beyond doubt. As it was a single headed goal by Max put us in a slender lead. Half time instructions were well received and acted upon and the team went onto score a further two goals through Eliiot's persistance and Motty's strike which came off the defender. Game over time to make changes and relax......oh no we like to do it the hard way letting them in for two goals which put us under unnecessary pressure. Blacon had the wind in their sails and were so unlucky not to score a third through s free kick..great save Ben who had previously nothing to do. A little composure was gathered and again Elliot's persistance allowed Dom to score a very deserved goal. Another great victory which didnt do much for the coach's grey hairs!!!!

AFC WAVERTON 5 WPARK 1

It speaks volumes for the boys at how far they have come that they were visibly disappointed with this result. They were a little sloppy and should have come out as clearer winners and also disappointed to have conceded a goal but there is no need to lament a clear victory. Elliot started the scoring off with a well taken goal beating the offside trap very well and Motty scored his usual quota of 2 and Jordan Sheen has now started a habit by scoring not once but twice.
Well done on another victory.

v ELTON - not sure if it was home or away

A hard fought victory by the boys who never stopped all game despite looking a little lacklustre at times. Motty scored another fine goal to put us into the lead but important to mention the teamwork in the build up play. Jordan scored a second and the whole team rejoiced for him - it was particularly pleasing to see the team being so pleased for him and surely a huge enjoyable moment. The game was made a bit more tense by the many free kicks Waverton were giving away around the box - unnecessary and dangerous from one of which Elton scored a good headed goal. The referee had an excellent game. Motty's persistance and pressure created the third to bring his tally for the season to 10. The strength of the team though is the sum of its parts and everybody played their part - well done!
