MATCH REPORT

The Dragons have had a very difficult season so far. Today they travelled to Nottingham to face Phoenix. We started slow and played with low confidence throughout the first half, we were second to the ball, gave too much space and made errors and we came in at half time 2-1 down after only having the one chance, one shot on goal. Half time team talk was tough, confidence was low. I told them they were giving them too much respect and they have got to pick their confidence up,

Katie in an unfamiliar role for the team, playing upfront had the Roses only real chance in the first half as she hit a good shot from dista

After 6 weeks with no game Bosworth faced Ruddington Yellow in their first game at Ravenstone since September. It took a while for the team to regain their rythm as they found themselves 2-0 down by half time.

Player of the Match - Jack Despite the result, Bosworth worked hard and displayed

Another week and another brilliant performance by the Blazers. Despite the final scoreline, the Blazers delivered one of their most impressive performances. From the first whistle, the team pressed with confidence, moved the ball around nicely, and showed fantastic teamwork in defence and attack to pressure the attackers and win the ball back. Every one of the Blazers worked hard for the full match, showing real character to keep their fans on the edge of the respect barrier!

An away trip saw AFC make the short journey to Atherstone to face a strong Atherstone Rangers Rapids, a side from the division above, who came into the match in excellent form.

Cup game today and the sonics were a credit to themselves, didn’t come away the winners but came away a team that have bonded so well over the last few months and done themselves proud.

The GK of David and defensive line of Louie , Freya and Max worked together and supported each other well throughout the game.

An early kick off in South Derbyshire, the Roses were back in action after a week off during Easter facing Albert Village. The Roses were missing Lauren and our goalkeeper Lyla , otherwise everyone was available for the game. Caris pulled her gloves from retirement for the good of the team. The Roses started playing up the slightly sloping pitch and at times found themselves under pressure as the Tigermoths were looking to play inside the Roses half. A number of times we wo

Away game in the wind! As a team the sonics battled well together and had spurts of some lovely passing in ‘triangles’ and working hard. James put away two goals in the first half, with some great battling from Tom , Jenson , Jack , Ben and Jake on the wings or centre mid. Defensively Max , Freya and Will kept a strong back line and pushed the ball up the pitch and were supported by David in goal who controlled in the box.

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

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.

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 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
