JUNIOR RESULTS RECAP

vs Croydon FC

U12’s:
We started a lot stronger today and for the first half matched Croydon really well, unfortunately just on half time we gave away a penalty and went in 1 nil down
We didn’t drop heads and worked hard to get back in the game despite our efforts and not being able to put away our chances , Croydon ran away winning 4-1

U13’s:
A top of the table clash with a win required to potentially chase them down.
With everything on the line the lads responded well today, with the game being an arm wrestle from the first whistle.
Both teams didn't give an inch in the first half with chances being well defended and finished 0-0 in the first.
Second half was very similar but we eventually dropped our guard and allowed them to score, which is how the game ended 1-0.
We showed true grit today and showed Croydon they should be worried if we play again

U14’s:
The boys came out this morning in fine form, settling down and dominating from the very start.
We created numerous amount of chances, but struggled to convert .
The well structured top of the league Croydon team also managed to create chances late in the first half but managed to convert.
Going in at half time 3 - 0.
The lads came out in the second half in good spirits determined to turn the result around, looking like they were on the right track until an incident resulting to Xavier fracturing his collar bone.
We ended up going down 7 - 1
Our thoughts are with Xavier and his family wishing him a speedy recovery.

U15’s:

U15s played Croydon away in near perfect conditions. We were two players down (including Xavier who looked like he may have broken his collarbone moments earlier for the U14s) so we had to make a couple of last minute changes ready in a top of the table clash.

The boys were unreal and played for one another and we were clearly the better team first half. We went up 2-0 inside the first 30mins and missed a penalty late on to make it 3.

The second half Croydon came at us and scored an early goal from a cross from the left. We continue to hold strong as they controlled much of the possession. The final whistle went and we came away 2-1 winners. Great result and the boys put in an incredible effort across the park. We stay top and have put ourselves in a great position for the remainder of the year. Our thoughts are with Xavier as we hope he has a speedy recovery.

U16’s:
The boys started poorly and were a shadow of the team we have been in previous weeks going in 4-0 down at halftime.
We changed a few things and looked the better team after halftime but couldn’t find a goal, they got another from a corner to finish with a 5-0 loss. We need to be braver and believe from the start to compete at this level. ... See MoreSee Less
