The Roses arrived at Whetstone Athletic for an afternoon kick-off with the bare eleven, a consequence of Easter Holidays, a later kick off and general unavailability. Whetstone currently top of the league and had only been defeated to the undefeated Ashby Ivanhoe so we knew it was going to be a tough game. We set out cautiously to try and pack the midfield and changed from our most recent formation to something new to accommodate availability in certain positions. The game st

The Belles welcomed CHESS for a first ever meeting between the teams. The Belles were missing several players but welcomed back Sydney and recent signing Maisie . The game started with chances at both ends, the opposition struck a shot wide and then Elcie was tackled just as she was about to shoot. However the Belles did get their noses in front in excellent fashion. A driving run by Oliwia saw her clip a cross towards Scarlet . There was still lots to do but a fine loopin

You’ve heard of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, this was all about Hutch and the Four Weather Seasons. The boys were instructed to arrive at 13:10pm to get the pitch set up and have plenty of time to warm up. On arrival, the boss aka Eddy and assistant manager Griffo parked up and were shocked to see the lads already hard at it setting up the pitch. A rare sight… and one that suggested the boys meant business today. However it wasn’t all plain sailing, Chinese Lee was

AFC returned to winning ways with a well-rounded team performance against Coton Green FC, overcoming player absences with smart tactical adjustments and disciplined football throughout. With several players unavailable, AFC made changes to their formation, and from the first whistle the team adapted brilliantly. The new setup allowed AFC to play confident, controlled football during the first half, maintaining possession well and forcing the opposition to work hard off the ba

Sonics had the bare 9, and the teamwork on display made all coaches and parents so incredibly proud. In goal was David who was tested throughout the game, he made some crucial saves and had a great game. Defensively Max was first to the ball, controlled the play and was solid throughout. Freya defensively worked hard, eager to get to the ball first and had a good constant tussle with their striker. George as left back and left winger helped to keep control, he worked for

Cup games back-to-back for the Blazers, this time facing up against Next Gen in the Sheila Scott Cup. This week, Freddie and Wyatt were not able to play and we hope to have them both back soon. We hope you feel better soon Wyatt . An end-to-end game played out in the Tamworth sunshine. The first half saw the Blazers come so close to opening the scoring, the Next Gen goalkeeper stopped every shot coming his way. After a calm and composed half time team talk, the Blazers came

The Belles entertained Haunchwood on a lovely sunny morning for football. Ava S was unavailable and Evie was still out with an injury. There was a welcome start for Eliza as she joined Scarlet and Elcie in the Belles attack. The Belles started well with lots of space in midfield for Caitlin and Oliwia to get forward. The opposition Goalkeeper made a good save from an attempt by Oliwia but the Belles took the lead. A lovely thorough ball saw Elcie get In front of the

The Roses were without Lily, Sophie, Kiri and Lauren against a strong side in Anstey Nomads where we put in our strongest performance of the season last time out. The game was pretty even which was reflected in the first half stalemate, both sides had chances but Lyla made some strong saves for the Roses as did her counterpart at the other end for the Nomads, our best chances came through Chloe G and Ellie who couldn’t find the back of the net on this occasion. A worrying

The Bosworth boys rolled up to the quarter-final with a slightly depleted squad, a few carrying knocks, and at least one carrying the effects of a questionable pre-match preparation. With the sun blazing (in March?! ), most of the lads got changed pitchside, soaking up some vitamin D and pretending it was all part of the warm-up routine. The gaffer made it clear the changing rooms weren’t needed… but, unsurprisingly, Lee and a couple of the lads ignored instructions and went

A beautiful morning away at Ruddington with the sun shining, great to be back out on the pitch. We started strongly, going 1–0 up inside the first 10 minutes and playing some really good football, especially with the long ball over the top. Ruddington responded to make it 2–1, but Bosworth showed great character to pull it back to 2–2. A tough refereeing decision just before half-time saw us go in 3–2 down, but the lads kept battling. In the second half, playing downhill, we

AFC Market Bosworth Bullets made the trip to face Haunchwood Hammers in a tightly contested away fixture that proved to be a hard-fought battle from start to finish. The first half saw both sides struggle to create clear-cut chances, with strong defensive work limiting opportunities in the final third. Possession was shared fairly evenly, but neither team managed to seriously test the opposition goalkeeper for much of the half. However, just as it looked like the teams would

Sonics had a cup game against a brilliant Atherstone team who have been strong against us all season, we had one sub so knew energy was required in bag fulls, and the sonics did not disappoint. From a warm up of are you listening can you do as asked, to a complete change of intensity second to none, teamwork in overload and listening as though they had heard the team talk! From the off every player worked for the ball, we defended with purpose between George , Freya , Louie

The Blazers were back in cup action. The fans and flags were out on a sunny Saturday morning where the Blazers were looking to progress to the Semi Finals of the Major Cup. What an achievement to get this far in the competition.

Fresh from reaching the county cup final last week, it was a return to league action for the Belles. A strong squad of 16 for the game with Eliza making her return from injury! Zoe started at right back, as Amie slotted in at left back. Ava H moved forward to left wing and on the opposite side Iris also started. With the swirling wind and pitch surface, it was clear that the football on show probably wasn't going to be fast flowing. That said the Belles started strong, as

Sonics met a team who in the first half had many players behind every ball and were that bit quicker to the ball. We conceded and in a way it was the kick to spur the Sonics on. James reacted shortly after and buried a ball into the back of the net and after a very well delivered corner into the box by Louie , Jenson pounced to score for the Sonics. In the first half David made a super save to help keep us in the game and his goal kicks to the sides were brilliant to see!

The Blazers were back in league action as we welcomed Ibstock. The Blazers had a full squad available with birthday Boy Daniel bringing sweets for the whole team! The game was a very competitive one with both teams really showcasing their hard work and ability. Daniel - made a wonderful save in the first half to deny a certain goal. Then followed it up with a diving save in the second half Wyatt - another goal for him as he demonstrated his strength on the ball. Drove the

On a bright morning with the sun shining, AFC welcomed Weddington Sports, a side from the division above, for a tough Round 2 Major Cup clash. From the first whistle AFC showed real intent, playing some excellent football and creating several early chances. Weddington’s defence held firm though, doing well to keep AFC from opening the scoring despite the pressure. Midway through the first half AFC had a corner cleared, which allowed Weddington to launch a quick counter-attack

After a lengthy six week lay off due to bad weather, cup rearranged fixtures and teams folding the Roses finally had a Sunday morning fixture. The Roses were without Esme , Lauren and Evie for the match and usually after a period without games the Roses struggle but in this match they started well, without instruction to, the team passed the ball well and looked dangerous in attack. Sophie made a good run forward with the ball and just as she did later in the game played a
