MATCH REPORT

After all the postponed matches due to the rain, the dragons also expected to be called off. However to everyone's surprise the game away at Burton Joyce was ON! Conditions were horrendous and it didn't stop raining from the moment we left to the moment we arrived home. We started the game with a minute silence for the tragic loss of an ex player at the club. The dragons send their condolences. We struggled from the off and really lacked the intensity we needed. We couldn't

Another wet game for the Sonics, lower on numbers today and a boot crisis en route! Slower start from the Sonics leaving them behind within minutes and unfortunately it rained constantly for the first half, but after the goal the Sonics came alive, worked together as a team and had put everything we had been working at in training into play. The Sonics individual skill, but more importantly, their teamwork to get the ball, one or two touches, pass the ball, move again to rece

What a WET and COLD game the sonics played! I think only the linesman today (Big Stu) was LOVING the weather… he was reminiscing on his youthful rugby days! Today was a day for perseverance, resilience, teamwork, honesty to say I am cold can I be subbed and warm up and pure grit and determination! Today was also David’s birthday and between the sticks was cold and wet, what he had to do in terms of saves he did really well. Ben went in goal in the second half and was in def

The Blazers travelled through the wind and rain to Dosthill for what proved to be an epic cup clash. With everyone available for this match, the Blazers were dreaming of a cup run and the ‘Ultras’ dreaming of an open top bus tour at the end of the season! Both sides battled against the driving rain and a very muddy pitch, and battled even harder on the pitch. Goals for both sides were a plenty even with the uphill slope on the pitch seeming to be an advantage somehow. The sec

After some challenging games against Nuneaton Borough, Rugby Town and Epworth Forest we had near a full squad available against GNG with Lily and Beth the only absentees. A rare afternoon kick off with the Roses wearing their new Fuchsia Away Shirts sponsored by One Communication Solutions Ltd. U15 Roses Away Kit The ask from the Coaches was to try and pass the ball, in recent games when under pressure we have been clearing the ball without any plan on keeping possession. It

It was a big game for the AFC Market Bosworth Bullets this morning as they faced off against Kingsbury Aztecs FC — and what a performance it turned out to be! The Bullets started the game a little slowly, with a few stray passes early on putting them under pressure. The opening ten minutes were a bit nervy as the boys tried to find their rhythm, but once they settled, there was no looking back. The team began to move the ball with confidence and composure, showing real qualit

New kit day today thanks to GR Brickwork Ltd , the Sonics looked smart and ready for action in it! The opposition were good at surrounding the ball and did make it hard for us to get the ball away, but as coaches we asked them to keep their positioning to allow them space and it worked. Jack as striker was making space and fighting hard for every ball and communicating well with his teammates. Max T had a few positions today like many as we were working on different positio

A positive start from the Bozzy Vets and there was a level of intensity which we haven’t always seen, the lads seemed really up for this cup match and with several players missing we still managed to put out a squad of 16. Aaron came in goal for the absent Jim making his second appearance after his debut earlier in the season. The chances were really coming Bosworths way but our final ball was lacking. Dicko rattled the bar with a fierce shot and then shortly after at the

The Blazers welcomed Stonydelph Sabres on the back of some really positive displays. Unfortunately Josh was still unwell but still boasted a strong squad of 9 players. The game was an enthralling contest, end to end with both teams showing determination and quality. Daniel made a couple of excellent saves first half. Then second half he somehow clawed the ball away from the top corner. His bravery was also fantastic, rushing out at the feet of an attacker. James , his energ

Fantastic performance from the boys today. We knew it was going to be a tough match as I asked them all for high intensity and work rate. We were to push high in attack but to defend as a team and to get every player back behind the ball and make a net around it. We done exactly as I asked them. They really were superb and by far the best they have been all season. The work rate from all of them was fantastic and I really couldn't have asked for more. Finished 4 - 1 but at th

Sunday morning saw AFC take on a high flying Anstey Nomads side who had made scoring goals habitual. A very positive training session, that saw tactics, discussion of structure and most importantly happy faces, prefaced the fixture. Great numbers from AFC meant that the girls could be as fresh as possible throughout the game. Firstly, the girls were incredibly respectful in a minute's applause for a Thurmaston youngest who passed away recently. AFC’s thoughts are with family

Coming off a heartbreaking last minute draw last weekend against Quorn, AFC Market Bosworth needed a big reaction. Coming into the first 10 it was a cagey affair but around the 15 minute mark Rory picked up the ball in a dangerous area and wrapped a lovely strike into the far corner to put the boys in blue and black up 1-0. Shortly after Bosworth’s number 10 and MOTM magic Mike put the home side 2 up with a tidy finish into the left side netting. After this goal opposition

The Roses faced Epworth in the League Cup, just several games after their 2-2 draw earlier this season. The Roses were missing Kayleigh , Esme and Poppy which would pose some defensive challenges in the full back area. We opted to change formation to try and cover those areas and compact centrally whilst maintaining two upfront. We defended valiantly but posed little threat going forward, generally relying on self made opportunities through Chloe G and Ellie . Evie and Ki

A league cup clash between two sides that have seen plenty of enthralling games and this morning was another classic encounter. The Belles were still without injured Monica and Eliza , along with Ava H who was away, but welcomed back Scarlet and Ava L . The team talk consisted of seeing an improvement from the previous game. Moving the ball forward quicker and being first to it. The opening exchanges were frantic, with the Belles falling behind early after a cross was flic

AFC Market Bosworth Bullets bounced back in style with a well-earned win against Coton Green FC, showing real grit and togetherness on a pitch that made life difficult from the first whistle. The surface was heavy and uneven, testing the lads’ control and passing, but they rose to the challenge with determination and character. The Bullets’ defence was outstanding all game, keeping things tight and organised at the back. Every player put their body on the line to ensure a cle

I was really happy with the lads today. This game wasn’t about the scoreline or the result — it was a friendly designed to give me the chance to try different things and assess commitment, performance, and attitude across the team. Individually, every single player was brilliant. Each one gave exactly what I asked of them, and their effort and focus were outstanding. As a team, it didn’t quite click at times, but that’s completely fine — I experimented with new formations and

Fresh and bright morning, with a promising start from all sonics. The defence week in week out keep impressing us with their ability to talk, work together, whether that is pressing up the pitch or tracking back to defend as a unit. Freya , Leighton , William , James and Ben did an excellent job there and helped to make David’s job in a little easier. That said, what David did do in goal was command his box, talk to his players and make crucial saves. Those on the wings w

An away trip for the blazers, in windy but sunny conditions. During the pre match warm up the boys were looking great in their new kit courtesy of our sponsor Thornton Nurseries and coffee shop. Not long after, Coach Scott did his best Bambi on ice impression in the mud with some of the players vowing to never pass the ball to him again! A welcome return to the team for goalkeeper Daniel and Wyatt , but we were missing Josh who was unwell and unable to make the game. We wis

An afternoon kick off last Sunday for the Belles, which saw the Belles squad stretched. Eliza , Scarlet and Monica were all unavailable due to injury and then Lola C was unwell. This meant a shuffle around in formation to four in defence as Ava H went to left back. The game started off at a good pace, Ava S made a crucial interception then Lols bravely won a header whilst under pressure. Up the other end Darcy drove forward from her own half but her cross evaded everyo

Ravenslea was host to a 3rd vs 5th battle of two sides who were synonymous in form. AFC came into the game coming away from a disappointing previous game with only vengeance and demanding justice on their mind. Their opponents were starting to creep into a habit of netting goals after putting away 10 in their last 2, so defensive structure was vital. As expected, QPR started strong, threading passes through a very strong and physical midfield. Slippy conditions proved very c
