The Bullets travelled to Kingsbury to treat the travelling supporters to an action-packed morning of football, and what a game they got! With the warm-ups complete, both teams got off to a competitive start, creating chances at either end but neither side able to find the breakthrough. Just past the midway point of the first half, a defensive error from AFC allowed Kingsbury to capitalise, firing a shot into the bottom corner to take the lead. With Kingsbury looking dangerous

On a crisp morning, the Blazers travelled to Tamworth to take on on Deer Park. The Blazers charged into action, playing with the same energy and elegance you’d expect from a herd of young deer sprinting through a park. From kick‑off, the boys moved the ball like a herd weaving through the park trails, quick slick passing, sharp turns on the ball, and superb runs that kept Deer Park guessing. The Blazers moving swiftly like the herd to make goal scoring opportunities. The Blaz

Evenly matched first half with some great play and went into half time at 1 all! Sadly the second half we didn’t show up as well which was a shame, but was something to learn from! Ben and George F volunteered to both go in goal with David not very well and both did a great job. Player of the Match - Max T Jake returned to the wing and had some great corners into the box. Player of the Match - Freya Jack in the first half also took an excellently taken goal. But today for the

Our under 13s Belles travelled to Leicester Nirvana on Sunday for what turned out to be an end to end battle and a really positive display from the Bozzy girls. As expected, Leicester got off to a strong start, but our girls did exactly what we asked of them at the start, playing with compactness, intensity out of possession, and being brave on the ball in transition. In the early stages we were pressed in our own half, but with some resolute defending we managed to hold out

A late morning kick off for the Belles against strong opposition. All the players were in buoyant mood particularly Ava as it was her birthday! Ava went into left back with Scarlet partnering Elcie in attack. The game started with both teams looking strong and committed. Elcie struck a shot wide then Monica nearly broke through. An opposition attack saw them flash a shot across the goal, but it was the Belles that got the opener. Oliwia's corner from the left went straight in

After a flying start to the season, the Blazers were caught off guard by Next Gen’s explosive opening this week. However, this team is built on grit. Rolling up their sleeves after an legendary half-time team talk, the Blazers completely turned the game in their favour. The second-half display was a masterclass in resilience against top-tier opposition, proving exactly why the Blazers are the team to watch this season. View from the bench: At halftime I said we won’t get ever

Another competitive game for the Sonics this morning in an early start away at division one side Dosthill Boys. It’s fair to say Dosthill started the stronger, being first to most loose balls and not giving us time on the ball. As the first half progressed, the Sonics grew into the game and certainly didn’t give the opposition an easy ride. The game was played at a frantic pace with both sides, finding it difficult to retain possession. The Sonic’s, having been pressed for la

What a game that turned into! Saying they were playing a team in the league above I thought the boys played fantastic They really held their own first half, defended fantastic and also created some really good chances. We spoke at half time about fine margins in games like this and making sure we didn't switch off, unfortunately second half we did for the first 5/10 minutes and they capitalised on that going 2-0 up. But credit to the boys reaction, their heads didn't drop and

A home fixture for the Bullets as AFC welcomed Haunchwood, but from the first whistle, it was clear this was going to be a difficult afternoon. A very uncharacteristic slow start saw AFC struggle to get going, with Haunchwood coming out the stronger of the two sides. They showed more desire, won the battles and seemed to want the ball that little bit more. It wasn't long before Haunchwood took the lead, and AFC struggled to find any rhythm or get a foothold in the game. Haunc

A great effort from the U11 Trailblazers away at ‘The Lamb’ today. It was always going to be a tough assignment against the Tamworth academy. We acquitted ourselves very well and dug in excellently, particularly in how well we defended our penalty box. Laurie and Florence were both very strong today, the latter with a brilliant tackle at the end. Isla was excellent too in her first league game, taking up some very good positions. Edie and Tahlia worked really hard in the midd

When you think of a football match between neighbouring teams, what fills your mind? Pride, passion, and a pitch (battlefield) filled with all the epic drama of a Lord of the Rings movie! This was a match for the ages between the Blazers and Ibstock that had all of that and more, mirroring the great struggles of the Third Age. Both teams showed the fierce determination of Gondor and Rohan, battling hard to win the ball high up the pitch, and giving their all as if they were d

What a lovely morning for football, the sun was shining, the sky was blue and it almost felt like summer had made a surprise comeback. The pitch, however, had other ideas. While the weather was beautiful, the ground was still a little wet underneath and the grass was certainly enjoying its growing season. At times the ball looked like it needed a sat-nav and a lawnmower to help it find its way through. With Lexi away, the girls once again stepped up brilliantly and gave every

A really good team performance against strong opposition, with everyone contributing to a well-earned 1–1 draw. We went into the game with a clear plan: keep two strikers up at all times, get the ball forward quickly and then support from midfield and the wide areas. We wanted to be direct, and our equaliser came exactly from that approach, with Chloe G showing great strength and persistence to keep going and get the ball over the line under pressure. We also challenged the g

An away day for the Bullets saw us make the short trip to Coalville Town for a local derby and a huge top-of-the-table clash. With the sun beaming down on Owen Street, everyone knew this was going to be a tough encounter between two strong sides. The game started with Coalville on the front foot, putting the Bullets under plenty of pressure for large parts of the first half. The boys had to dig deep, defending resolutely and standing up to everything Coalville threw at them.

Game of two half in terms of the score line, but overall an excellent game played by the sonics. They have been drawn in the top league of the TJFL and it’s a fantastic testament for all of the sonics efforts and today showed they can hold their own in with the big boys! We started with three at the back and quickly transitioned to four, a formation which the sonics adapted to really well. Everyone from David in goal to the strikers of Max T, Jack and Max W worked their socks

For the second week running, the girls faced Narborough Foxes, a very strong team who certainly know how to keep us on our toes. The challenge was accepted with smiles and determination. Starting at the back, we had Lola and Alice, who both put in brilliant performances. Alice, playing her very first match of the season with us, showed she's already a force to be reckoned with. Her strength in key defensive positions and her ability to drive the ball out from the back gave th

Another home fixture for AFC saw the Bullets welcome Chasetown Youth to Ravenstone in what was always going to be a physical and competitive encounter. The match started as an even affair, with Chasetown looking to attack but the Bullets defended well and stood firm. As the first half progressed, AFC began to raise the tempo and really made use of the huge pitch at Ravenstone. Moving the ball quickly and intelligently, the Bullets used the pace out wide and up front to their

A very stop start game throughout with the Sonics holding their game and being resilient throughout. Coming out the winners in a great battle of a cup game. A very positive start from the off with movement allowing James to take a shot in the first minute, he continued throughout the game with his crosses being delivered into the box. George F on the left wing also worked hard and crossed in, he made an excellent run to by pass the last defender and GK and scored a great goal

The Blazers were back on the road for a league fixture against Measham. The Blazers must have had their weetabix as the started off fast and on the front foot. They worked their way in to the game with patient play and a desire to put the opposition under pressure. Throughout the game they found spaces down the wings, with crosses and through balls that troubled the Measham defence. There were no frowns to be seen at the performance from the whole team. View from the bench: A

The first 25 minutes were some of the best football we’ve played on the ball, with excellent passing, movement and attacking intent. The goals came from good team play, with Katie finishing well from distance the right with a good ball out wide from Chloe G, then shortly after Chloe G worked hard to win the ball and unleash a powerful strike past the keeper. Unfortunately, conceding just before half time gave Burbage a lift going into the second half and seemed to knock our c
