The 26/27 season is underway! The Blazers stepped out in the Newbold sunshine to take on Coalville in a test for both sides in matchday 1. The first half saw the Blazers take the game to Coalville, finding neat passing down the wings and plenty of balls in to the box to test the Coalville defence. In the second half both sides made positive moves forward and both defences scored top marks in the tests sent there way. "There's a dog on the pitch..they think it’s all over, it i

Here we go again! The first home game of the new season and the first game in a new league saw the AFC Bullets welcome AFC Fradley Tornadoes. From the moment the boys arrived, the excitement and enthusiasm was clear to see. The lads were buzzing during the warm-up and ready to get the new season underway. From the first whistle, AFC set the tone and took control of the game. Fradley were an organised, hard-working side who made it difficult for AFC to find space, but the Bull

Start of the season, cup game and one of the strongest teams in the league! The Sonics responded maturely, with skill, pace and fire! The defensive line of Freya, William, Ben, Freddie and James were constantly pressed and had a great ‘mini team’ game working together and clearing the lines. David in goal made some fantastic shot stopping saves. We played more defensive today and that meant we had three in the middle which alternated but mainly consisted of Arlo, Jenson and G

For their last friendly before the season opener. The Blazers travelled through the pouring rain to play Kibworth, where the weather didn't dampen the Blazers performance. The first half the Blazers took control of the game, with swift passing plays and plenty of shots at goal. In the second half, with their backs to the wall they put in a steely defensive performance. From this weeks squad, Levi was missing and we hope to have him back soon. View from the dugout: Really comp

After the summer break, the Blazers were back for their first friendly of the new season against Coalville. Blazers in Pre-Season The Blazers never looked like they had been away for the summer break. Their passing and moving was another level, the composure on the ball of a Ballon d'Or winner, their passing like a tiki taka Spanish side, and everyone in the side putting in all their effort to support in attack and help out in defence. The travelling fans and our coaching tea

In a game where the score was a mystery to many, as everyone was enjoying the football too much to keep track, it was fantastic to see such a strong team effort from the boys. George stepped in for Em in goal and put in a great performance, making some excellent saves throughout the game. Ashton put in the hard yards at the back, chasing down everything that got beyond the defensive line. Jayden provided great cover and hooked the ball away on a couple of key occasions. Eddie

With the season fast approaching and the all-inclusive holidays now out of the way, the AFCMB Bullets made the short trip to Ashby Ivanhoe Crusaders for a well-contested pre-season friendly. After a few weeks without a game, both sides started brightly, moving the ball well and producing an entertaining end-to-end contest. Ashby took the lead from a well-delivered free kick, with the AFCMB defence waiting for an offside flag that never came. A deflection off an AFCMB defender

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

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

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

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

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

A friendly on Saturday for the Sonics and the team worked really well together, some passing that was fantastic to see and a hard work ethic to match. Many players played in a few positions and we welcomed Freddie into the team who settled in really well. One player did really well throughout he was great on the wing but solid in defence, always fighting to be first to the ball, composed on the ball and comfortable to drive forwards. Today’s Player of the Match was George. Pl

A close encounter between well matched sides as the Blazers took on Coalville Robins on the astroturf. Both goalkeepers were on top form to keep the scoreline low and the drama high. Superb passing and moving helped carve out numerous opportunities for the Blazers. A neat passing play and tidy finish saw Nathan on the scoresheet. Across the pitch, lots of hard work and running for the team both in defence and attack was on show. View from the dugout: A really entertaining gam
