The final game of the season with the Belles needing a win to finish a very respectable 4th place. The Belles were without the injured Evie and Lols, with Caitlin and Ava S also being away. However we still had a squad of 16 players, as vice captain Monica took the armband in Caitlin's absence. The Belles started on the front foot which saw them take an early lead. The pacey Oliwia drove out wide with the ball and sent a cross into Elcie, who stroked the ball into the corner.

Ahead of the beginning of tournament football, the Blazers matched up against Nuneaton Borough for a Leicestershire v Warwickshire friendly clash. With end to end football with brilliant goalkeeping and defending keeping the goalscorers out. Working the triangles and the angles for a shot, the Blazers had periods of lovely passing plays. Goalscorer: Levi View from the dugout: A tough game for both sides particularly in the heat. Pleased with how the boys continued to work har

Under the sunshine at Newbold and the Belles without a few players due to injuries and unavailability. We knew it was going to be a tough game, however we still had a strong squad of 12, with Starlah playing her first game for the Belles. A shuffle in the starting line up, saw Monica partner Darcy at centre back and Ava S starting at right back. The game started quickly for the Belles as the pacey Eliza slammed a shot against the cross bar but she did the opening goal. Oliwia

If Carlsberg did Sunday League away days, they definitely wouldn’t make this one. AFC Market Bosworth arrived at Borough Alliance on a red hot day where simply breathing felt like cardio. The changing room was roughly the size of a wheelie bin and somehow packed full of sweaty men before kick-off. The heat was unbearable, the smell was criminal, and before anyone had even laced their boots up properly, the acting manager nearly injured our very own Dermot O’Leary aka Jono by

AFC Market Bosworth produced a battling performance full of heart and character but were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Birstall Stamford Young Boys FC in the Men’s Modern Men Movement Senior Cup Final at Voltage Solutions Stadium. Played in humid and sunny conditions in front of 197 spectators, the final lived up to expectations with both sides starting at a ferocious tempo. Newly crowned league champions Birstall arrived full of confidence following an emphatic 8-1 victory over Ell

We intentionally played a team who were in a harder league/above us in level and as a TEAM for the majority of the game we matched their pace, intensity, strength and all round ability and the coaches today were immensely proud of them ALL on what was a HOT day! From excellent saves in goal, to a trio in defence who worked as their own mini team to remove the danger, to the wingers who ran the line to attack and defend and the ‘pivots’ in centre mid who were tasked with makin

The Blazers have no match day this week, so we are focusing on training for our report this week. In this week’s training session, as well as plenty of time spent in match situations, the focus was on finishing and defending. With the finishing on show from the coaches not being as top tier as the kids efforts! Over the season, we have seen brilliant footy skills on show from all of the kids who have joined us each week. They always bring lots of energy and enthusiasm to tra

The Belles travelled to CHESS as the rain poured just before kick off. The Belles were missing Lola C, Evie, Ava H, Ava S, Iris, Scarlet and Ava L. Despite this we still had a squad of 12 as Lois and Sydney were available. The game started and it was clear that the pitch condition was going to scupper any flowing football. However the Belles made a great start which nearly saw the opening goal. Elcie saw her shot saved by the goalkeeper then not long after Oliwia also had a s

The Roses travelled to Sileby nice and early for what was their final game of the season. The Roses were without Sophie, Kayleigh, Lauren and Lyla however Lyla was able to watch and support the team. The game got underway on a narrow pitch and it was pleasing to see the girls still trying to play football. The Roses took a 2 goal lead with both goals coming from Chloe G, the first goal she made a strong run down the left hand side and finish high into the roof of the net and

This game and the weather had it all. A friendly match up between the Blazers and the Bullets took place at Dixie in the sunshine and the rain! Two sides who pride themselves on their next passing plays and putting on the pressure from the front to win the ball back. In both halves, both sides had periods where they showed how much progress they have made throughout the season. View from the dugout: A good test for the boys and I was delighted with how they stood up to the ta

Sonics made it just before the rain hit in! All children rotated and some into a few positions. The challenge to the Sonics today was simple, take a touch, head up drive when appropriate and release the ball to team mates to keep playing football, no long balls! The Sonics settled after the first 15 minutes and started to relax playing between them selves, Max T scored a great powerful goal, James with 4 goals and Tom with 2 and one on the score sheet for Max W! As the Sonics

The Belles travelled to Kibworth having played each other the week before, which ended in an entertaining 1-1 draw. There was no Ava S, Ava H and also Evie who is still injured. But had Lois available as she started at left back. Lola C returned at right back, with Eliza pushing to left midfield. The game started well for the Belles, with Oliwia looking dangerous on the right. She fired in a brilliant cross which was headed against the cross bar by Scarlet. However, Elcie pou

With three new players debuting with the team today and an uphill run for the first half of the match, the game could have gone either way. The boys settled well as a team and to a lad played for each other. Ethan opened up the scoring with some fantastic foot work followed up by a long range goal. He added to his tally later in the game with a lone run from the half way line to get his second of the game. Long range goals also came via George, who lobbed the keeper, Jude who

The final fixture of the U13s chapter saw AFC take on a strong St Nicholas Swifts side, known for moving the ball with confidence and composure. It proved to be a competitive and hard-fought encounter from start to finish. AFC were slow out of the blocks and struggled to find their rhythm early on, which allowed Swifts to capitalise and take the lead. As the first half progressed, however, AFC began to grow into the game, showing more intent and energy. Their efforts paid off

The Roses were up against GNG for the third time this season, previous meetings were a 1-1 draw in a friendly and a 2-1 win at Rushey Fields in the league. This league game promised to be a tight affair based on that. The Roses welcomed back Sophie and Lyla but were without Lauren and Tilly for this match. After a good warm up and team talk, the Roses were ready to go at Ravenstone. We worked on a new formation, which would give us lots of bodies forward in attacking areas. W

We are very proud to introduce you to the Bozzy Ballers. Our Mini’s team made up of players from the school years of EYFS and Year 1. The team started in January and is slowly growing, with places still available! Whether it be the rainy weather we saw in January and February, or the warmer weather of April and May, the kids have always been brilliant. Coming along each Sunday with bundles of energy and plenty of smiles, all whilst having lots of fun learning how to play foot

After a slight hiccup where one half of the pitch was a rounders field. The coaches were initially left ‘stumped’ but with cones down to mark out the lines the game went ahead. Both teams put in a great ‘innings’, every player ‘fielding’ an impressive performance. With plenty of ‘swings’ at the ball in which all ‘bases’ were covered, with plenty of brilliant passing, and great defending. In defence for both sides ‘no ball’ went a miss with tidy marking, tackling and clearing

Strong opposition today and a hard first half, at half time we said reset the clock and what a reset it was. The passing between players, the confidence to make the crosses, the intensity levels and the skills on display were a credit to every single player. Thomas was causing the defence to be on guard with great movement, Louie working to make each ball with strong feet and direct it to team mates, Freddie having a great work rate throughout the game to attack the ball, Dav

Last time out lost 4-0, this time round, the same scoreline, the only difference was the weather. The Roses were without Lyla, Sophie and Lauren with Caris deputising in goal and we welcomed back both Chloe’s. A change of formation which in possession seemed to work well as at times we really used the ball in a positive way, it was great to see our passing game flourish in tight spaces. Despite us creating a few half chances, Whetstone took the lead capitalising on a mistake

The sun was shining on an immaculate pitch ready to see if the Belles can continue their resurgence since the county cup final the previous Sunday. Unfortunately there was still no Evie and Ava S who was unwell. With Ava H and Ava L also being unavailable The Belles started with the same formation which saw them put 14 goals past Haunchwood in the week. Elcie and Scarlet leading the attack, with Eliza on the left and Oliwia on the right. It didn't take long for the positive B
