On Remembrance Sunday, our club stood together to honour all those who gave their lives in service for our country. We remembered the fallen, the veterans, and those still serving today. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten. From everyone at AFC Market Bosworth, we say with pride — Lest we forget. Thanks to Will, Eddie and Tom representing the Club at today’s memorial service.

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

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

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

Oliwia at the Polish Consulate Oliwia had a meeting at the Polish Consulate in Manchester, where a small group of talented girls were invited for interviews to help them get into the national team. The interview went really well and the national coach, scouts, and representatives from the Polish FA were very impressed. Oliwia will now be closely monitored and has a great chance of being called up for the Poland U15 women’s national team training camp! It's thoroughly deserv

The Roses were missing Ellie , Evie , Katie , Lily and Poppy for this match. An early KO in Rugby, a roadblock on the A5… it felt like it might be one of those days in the winter chills at Butlin Road before we even got there. The Roses started well but after 10 minutes Rugby scored with an unfortunate deflection off a Roses defender from a powerful shot which left Lyla with no chance. 1-0 quickly became 2 when a cross found the lively Rugby Town winger who finished high i

Sunday morning saw AFC take on a well numbered strong Loughborough Sapphires side. The Belles went underway with a bare 9, however that shouldn’t take away from their unbeatable mindset. AFC trialed a new formation that was more defensively orientated allowing different players to get a feel for a new position. AFC got out of the blocks quickly, sending the ball outside quickly to our two pacey technical wide midfielders in Erin and Lilly . After suffering a goal from a swee

Early start for the sonics today and from the off they played with fantastic TEAM spirit! The passing on display today was some of the best we have seen all season but the ball in the first half just would not go in the net!! Leighton , George and Tom had some lovely triangle play which we had been working on the left hand side, with some lovely crosses of the ball from George into the box. Player of the Match - David David in goal was strong to the ball and commanded his

The weather may have been chilly, but the finishing was red hot from the Blazers in an away game against Stoneydelph. Both sides finding the back of the net on a number of occasions. For the Blazers six different players hitting the back of the net. Goalscorers were: Nathan , Levi , James , Chance , Freddie , and with his first goals for the team Easton . With Halloween just around the corner, we saw lots of tricks (the good kind!) and what a treat we had from the Blazers. Fr

A tough one today — our first taste of defeat in a long while. We looked a little unsettled in the first half and struggled to deal with the physical side our opponents brought. A few errors and a couple of scrappy goals left us chasing the game. But the boys came out firing after the break. They showed real character, winning battles, putting in big tackles, and moving the ball around with confidence. We pulled it back to 3–2 and looked like we might complete the comeback, b
