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 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

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

The Roses were without Lyla, Sophie and Lauren with Caris deputising in goal and we welcomed back both Chloe’s.

Despite us creating a few half chances, Whetstone took the lead capitalising on a mistake

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.

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,
